New 20" Wheels on AW E92

askiles · 05-23-2009, 01:09 PM

Her are my new 20" wheels for my AW E92. The specs are as follows...

20" x 9" ET20
20" x 10" ET25

Toyo Proxe 4's
295/25/20
255/30/20

I think they fit perfect, and look amazing. I am lowered on H&R springs which fits perfectly. The wheels were custom powder coated with a color Tungsten Metallic from the Ford GT, and then clear powder coated. Anyways, enjoy!

What do you mean, that is all I got. According to my research, hardly anyone has these on an M3. There are so many 3 piece forged wheels, like 350 Forged Mesh 8's, it is crazy, yet everyone still goes gaga over them. These are custom, and very few and far between.

Not a big fan of the m6 wheels, but your car looks great.

True,

These are the first I've seen on an m3, but seriosly, hardly original. I'm by no means saying these don't look good. They look slightly above average at best, far too over done by the 330 and 335 crowd. I'm glad you shared the pics, but did you seriously have to have a teaser thread, come on now!!!

askiles · 05-23-2009, 06:26 PM

Thanks for raining on my parade. I personally think that these are some of the best looking wheels I can get for the M3, so I am pretty stoked. I am tired of seeing the CSL/8 Mesh/P40/ect... style wheel. Everyone and their mother has these now. They don't look different, they all look the same. I wanted to go against the flow, and this achieves that. They may be over done on another vehicle, but personally, I have only seen these on M6's locally. At that, I have only seen 1 ror 2 M6's. To me, they are pretty rare.

hawkeye-se · 05-23-2009, 06:42 PM

I think they look bitchin'.

DoNDoN · 05-23-2009, 06:56 PM

I think they look pretty good. This is the first M3 I have seen with these wheels.

SupremeDTM · 05-23-2009, 07:49 PM

they look sick man, keep it up.

chris s · 05-23-2009, 07:52 PM

By no means do i mean to rain on your parade...to each their own, I've just never been a fan of M6 wheels, less so on an M3. I do like the finish you chose...and the car is nicely done!

askiles · 05-23-2009, 10:37 PM

Thanks.

-Andy

spyderco10 · 05-24-2009, 02:59 AM

you got a big ugly orange pimple on the front bumper, other than that, it looks fantastic!!

askiles · 05-24-2009, 10:04 AM

I like the orange reflectors...I will replace it soon enough.

All that matters is that you like them. Right? Personally I think the rims are ok if they where in a different color. Black or brighter than they are right now. They just look dirty the way they are, or maybe its just the lighting. Anyway. Car looks nice. And once again. As long as you like it, it should not matter.

I did...those are 19's, not 20's, and they have a different finish. That is the first M3 I have seen with the M6 style wheels at all. The 20's have the perfect offset, so in my book, they are the perfect wheel for the M3.
