Question E90 M3 Sedan with HRE 540S

Well I had a bit of free time today (which isn't the case lately) and decided to put the HRE 540S (with Carbon Black painted centers) I had on the Vert and put them on my new M3 Sedan...

What you think?

Looks good. Are those 18 or 19 inches? The dark color makes them look small. They probably will look better if the car is dropped. Do you have EDC? If so, you can only replace the springs (without faking out the control unit) and so the drop won't be very much. Good luck.

Sorry, these are 19" HRE Wheels...the centers are smaller because of the step lip & they have been painted Carbon Black which matches the Jerez Black now.

I have EDC.

I wasn't planning on doing any mods to the car sice it will be my family car & I promised the wife I wouldn't...but after I told her the responses I've been getting, shes warming up to it very much!

Believe me, I too have been ok with the look. I figured I throw them on since I had them. I like how they look in the front (not talking about the suspension side) but just don't know about how well they look on the back.

This is the reason I wanted to get some opinions on how they look to others.

If I decide to not go with these, I'm gonna sell them & see how the 20" LS-5 DPEs with brushed Aluminum centers, I have will look on it.

When I was at the BMW N. Scottsdale, they had a Jet Black M3 with Mayas on that were pretty hot looking that I might look into, if I decide on neither the HREs or DPEs & sell them.

Maybe the chrome lip should have been a brushed finish instead!
