m3 wheel poll

[para22]

looks like i'm the first one to vote i always was
for aftermarket wheels. Even if the stock ones look good , with aftermarket ones you go more individual and there's less chance to meet a car similar to yours

[Gustav]

19' Euro!

What is wrong with this

[barilla]

Gustav what color is that M3?

[Gustav]

Topaz Blue. regular 3 series colour.

The most LOVELY colour for the E46 M3!

[KRM]

Nice pic, Gustav. My vote goes to the 19' Euro wheels. Great color too.

[JCM5]

what a surpise that most people prefer the 19" M wheels.
When those wheels where first shown, most people think it's ugly and that the spoke angles outward which did not have that deep dish look as many would liked. I begin to like them too.

[johann]

I actually thinks these 18" rims look better and my color looks much better!

I'd go with the 18's, they weigh less.

Now this is nice wheels and colour! Unique!

[Mr. Grinch]

Both cars are quite nice!

In north america, there really is no choice from factory... we get the 18".

But seeing as the 18" are a little more practical, that's what I'll stick with. The 19" are definately nicer (to me) because they are polished vs painted. They are of a forged construction so they are about the same weight but a little stronger, although they would have a higher rotational mass.

I did some research on 17" wheels for winter if anyone is interested. My results were limited to what I could find... selections from www.tirerack.com, www.discountiredirect.com, www.wheelexchange.com.
