WTB: 19" OEM 359M Wheels [E92 M3 Competition Package Wheels]

Hi all, I'm wanting to purchase a set of x4 BLACK 19" OEM 359M Wheels that come on the E92 M3 Competition Package. They can be used or new, I don't mind. They can come with or without tires.

I'm located in Victoria, however, happy to pay for shipping.
Thanks in advance!

Question: Will the specs on these wheels fit on a standard E92 M3?

these rims seem pretty rare and/or people happy to hold onto them. Have you considered importing avant garde m359s from the US?

I haven’t to be honest. I’m in no rush to find the right set, however, if there rare to the point I’ll have to wait over a year, I may consider these Avant Garde M359s. Do you know what the quality are like? Any pro/cons?

Thanks dude!

a lot of the US drivers on this forum that have them are pretty happy with them since it's closest to OEM. I too am on the lookout just waiting for an ebay sale

i bought some new replicas from CM Wheels in UK. it was $1400 delivered and the quality is great. i chose silver but i think they do black also.

the specs are same as OEM so same width , offset.

just another option if you decide to go down replica route

that'd be $400 cheaper than importing AGs, not bad. do you have the wheel specs? are they 19x9 fronts and 19x10 rears? or 8.5/9.5? do you have a link?

thanks!

Legend!! I just had a look on their website and they seem to have the exact specs as OEM, and all colours offered. They are around $1,700 delivered.

Any pros/cons around the rims? Quality etc. Do they look exactly the same as the OEM 359m? There aren’t too many reviews around the STORM brand.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely consider these!
Thanks,
Chris.

i just got my set last week. they have a couple of minor, very minor marks in paint but average person wont notice. paint finish (silver) is very close to OEM. they look identical from what i can see. the only thing thats different is the indent for the little M badge is bigger. apparently they need to make that so its not 100% oem replica... so the badge itself just needs to be centred and you are good to go. otherwise im very very happy with them.

if you decide to get them PM me. i buy off another M3 forum called M3cutters in UK and they seem to get discounted pricing. like i said delivered to Perth i paid 720 POUNDS. just a touch over 1400

Also if you are going to be buying tyres you can always upgrade to next size up. Stock is 245 front 265 rear. Most common upgrade is 255 and 275.

The GTS runs 255 and 285 from factory on same wheels.

I am currently running 245 front and 275 rear only cos I had some 245 in garage. Once I replace I’ll go to 255.

Can’t comment on rubbing but I would guess no rubbing on front as gts runs same set up. In the back it’s 275 - 35 - 19 (not 30 profile), and its perfect. I will be possibly adding some spacers to push the wheels out a touch

Hey guys, my tires are due for replacement soon. Just wondering for those of you who ordered, how long did it take to arrive?

Damn! Just checked the site and the satin black is out of stock!
