I have always liked these wheels. They're pretty heavy, though, and I don't know if the offset is right - is it?

I like them, I used to have them on my E46, the problem you are going to run into is offset, you will need spacers to push them out a bit further. I forget what the exact offsets are on the OEM ones but i know its not as aggressive as the stock E92 wheels.

IIRC the wheel specs for ZHP rims are 18x8 18x8.5 with something around a +40 offset. You'll definitely need spacers to make them look right.

Ok I just put these rims on for real, and there's a gap almost the size of my fist in the front! And you guys are right, I def need spacers. Acceleration seems to be a tad bit slower and it threw a TPM code.

First things first, how do I take care of the TPM code? I suppose I could do a search, unless there's a quick and easy method.

Did you move your TPM sensors from your old rims to the new one? If so you just have to reset the sensors for the tires you have now. I forget how to do it in non idrive systems though.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't even know I can do that. I have idrive so resetting shouldn't be a problem.

like OEM wheels as in buy them from BMW or with stock wheels the E92 comes with?

I've been eyeing those for a while. There's a seller that paints them on the forum too.

Not a fan of wheels with "open" look personally unless you upgrade the brakes. However, this one looks good on E92. Do what feels right to you

///M3 FTW... it has a two tone finish and is basically the same design but better IMO.

Thanks for all the positive responses guys, I might just keep these instead of getting the M6 reps. The car does feel a bit slower than before, and I personally think the only way to remedy that is getting a JB3. (At least that's what I will tell myself to justify getting one....)
