Who cares what the wheels look like? Most people , including yourself should or do care? Otherwise, why are you changing them (in this case, obv not for performance reasons)

Those are just plain ugly, I wouldn't put those on Escalade or any other american car for that matter. those are plain ugly wheels.
Sorry dude, but I suppose you like them. and at the end of the day, if your 21 driving an M3. well..good for you! Must have done something right in your day!

But hey, if you like the look enough to give up some performance then that's fine. Just remember the old rule when it comes to wheels/rotors that 1lb = 4lbs.

Yea, I've had enough speeding tickets in my life to keep it slowed down, I love the car as a whole, it's still very fast, fast enough for me, Itll never be on a track, nor a 1/4, so with that being said, I wanted something all chrome, most on here frown at all chrome, but that's what I like, so..you know...

slammed...just for the heck of it..could you find me an all chrome wheel with a lip (regardless of weight being a factor) that you, in particular, find very appealing....please, I just want to see what kind of wheel is AWESOME looking..to you...

PLAYON · 09-24-2008, 05:28 PM

good job being original. . .I like that you had the balls to try something unique and different. I'm a fan of CSL's and M6 Reps and keeping things stock, but you decided what you wanted and you went for it.

Hey man, I appreciate your comment, its very seldom on this board to get comments like that...

FR305 · 09-24-2008, 10:40 PM

Those wheels take away from the car. I have seen ford Pinto's with better looking wheels.

watrob · 09-24-2008, 11:49 PM

Sheessss, tough crowd.

Don't worry about it to much, its happened to me before as well.

You drive the car they don't.

Hey, 80% owners would like new wheels

Only 70% will admit it

50% can afford it

35% only do it

and then there you

You should feel privileged being in such a small group.

You can't help it if your taste sucks, your only 1% of 35% of people that make this decissions, your one in a hundred ain't bad.

Would'nt worry I have seen plenty of BMW with chrome wheels, go to Hong Kong.

I'm with him on this one - the car looks good with the chrome rims and wider tires on it. I might be heading in the exact opposite direction myself, but I respect his vision and I think he chose his products with care and in the end the whole package works.

mdrobc13 · 09-25-2008, 06:58 AM

That's his car and if he likes em them hey...he's the one rolling in it. Me I kinda agree with the rest of the crowd...they are NOT my type at all but as the french say c'est la vie!

When I get a little more time today, I might have to do that!

I can promise you I can find a nicer chrome wheel then that (with a lip)

tightie · 09-25-2008, 01:49 PM

A nice set of HRE's.

As you can tell from the link below. The problem is not the chrome. This member got almost all positive feedback.

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169388

watrob · 09-25-2008, 07:04 PM

Because this M3 is Red and other one is Black.

Silver wheels suit black cars and chrome on black leads to Bling.

The Red M3 can get away with it but its not my cup of tea. And like the Black M3 you are limited to choice, black more so. I think that the wheels on the black M3 in chrome is to heavy & busy, brushed or siver in that style would be more me. And like another forum member said it reminds him of a SUV because that is where we see them mainly.

Here is a photoshop my M3 with Chrome lip with brushes center, I think it looks better than all chrome centre.

My $0.02

PS. if someone wants to photoshop a black M3 onto these wheels would be interesting to see.

the wheels arent my thing, but to each his own.

Props on the Reagan quote though. Your only 21 and quoting Reagan... your headed in the right direction.

lucid · 09-29-2008, 07:29 PM

It's his car. He does whatever he wants with it. Why are people so worked up? But I guess it is the internet, and one needs to have thick skin posting stuff that goes against the aesthetic of the masses. OP, if you were an artist, this would have made a great project; you got a rise out of people messing with people's aesthetic and all...Does that mean I'll stop railing on Bangle? Hell no! Why not? Because he fucked with MY car, not his own car.

Reedomn · 09-29-2008, 09:34 PM

forget about the wheels...those are great photos!!
