50 sets produced in first group buy

Greg:

The car looks absolutely perfect with your set-up. I especially love this shot....

All of the hard work paid off in producing what, in my opinion, is the overall best (weight, cost, fitment, & aesthetics) aftermarket E92 M3 wheel today.

Congrats!

P.S. I just flew back in from a trip to Oregon-saw 0 M3's during the 4 day visit....I think you may be one of just a handful of owners in that state.

looks great:-)for some reason that rear wheel looks less wide than usual.

Offset is designed to accept 285s; those are 275s on mine.

Nice ride. Enjoy!

TLud · 01-03-2010, 12:49 PM

Beautiful!

After seeing the sidewall height of the 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 setup, I think my next set of tires will be 265/30/19 and 285/30/19. The downside to that is that Vred doesn't make the Ultrac Sessanta in that size, and I'm really liking them so far.

Green///Hell · 01-03-2010, 01:00 PM

I'm liking them in Silver on your car the best so far. I love the look of the wheel and feel the BMW center cap just don't do them justice
Any other fitment, or size spec to just place another one on there?

Center caps are easily swapped out. RAC is going to look into doing a custom one.

Nate@IND · 01-03-2010, 01:21 PM

Looks perfect Greg

the silver finish on AW offers a clean look.

M3Alpine · 01-03-2010, 01:22 PM

Beautiful, indeed.

I think 255/35-19 will rub if used with 15mm + spacers up front on stock 19's or if you use spacers with those wheels.

Just curious, why use Vred's if you can get some super sticky tires like the yokohama AD08's?

The AD08's also come in size 255/30-19 that wont rub even with 15mm spacers front on stock 19's.

your car appears to have a drop in the rear and not in the front.

In the first photo the car is setting at an angle to the driveway slope, so the right rear wheel is pushed up a little.

Raja Ventureshield · 01-03-2010, 04:57 PM

Car look amazinnnng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I saw the gap issue on that photo and figured it might be the way it's sitting. However, the stance is the same on other photos. Def looks like a drop on the back and none on the front. Doesn't look right. Rear is way to low compared to the front.

I guess I disagree with you. The car naturally has more clearance in front for the turning wheel. If they were the same, that would look weird. It looks perfect in person, to me.
