437s or Titan 7s for my M3

Hey, guys. I just purchased an M3 ZCP and was contemplating getting new rims. I'm thinking of getting Titan 7s or 437s. I've always loved the look of the 437s and someone is selling a set - mint. Problem is it's really designed for the F82. Is it cheesy to put F82 M4 rims on an e92 M3? Thoughts?

I think it's a little cheesy but the bigger problem is the rear offset. It's et40. You need a 15mm spacer just to get to ZCP rear offset of 25mm. Plus people commonly install 12 to 15mm spacers on ZCP wheels. Ultimately you are looking at a 25mm spacer for a flush look.

Thanks for your input. I'll just get a set of Titan wheels

Wheels are a very personal/subjective choice. If you like it don't worry about what others think.

This thread shows an E9x with 437 style rims.

I'm not sure of the specs on the 437s. I did buy a set of 513s and planned to use a spacer on the rear. The 513s ate fully forged and are lighter than the 359s.

The Titans look good too. Not sure if it is because the style of the wheel is similar to some of the BBS wheels or not. To me they have some similarities to the F1s. I cannot comment on how well they hold up on the street, most of the posts I've read they are used for the track.

It seems the 437s are also forged:

Lighter than the 359s too.

Vote Titan 7's for the e9x M3. Right fitment and right offsets without using spacers. IMO the 437M wheels look a little off on the E9x M3.

Thanks for sharing. It doesn't look too bad. It does look better with the black E92 M3 than on the limerock. I think I'll look into the Titan 7s.
