M3 replicas

Anyone know what kind of quality these replica wheels are? I'm specifically looking at M3 wheels with the 10 spoke rounded edge. I just sold my 230's and now have some cash to buy a good set of my choice.

Or should I stick to the 10 spoke straight edge OEM M Motorsport wheels??

M359 from Avant Garde is a good choice!



Or VMR VB3 in 19s

Not a fan and way too many guys have aftermarket wheels. I actually prefer a more simple/OEM look.

I actually just bought a set of 19" M Motorsports from a local guy. Picking em up tomorrow and I can't wait!

You may want to check out the E9X M3 style wheels if your looking for a more OEM style look. Here are a couple pictures for you to check out!

Lol guys... No love. I'm a noob so forgive my ignorance.

Alan, I sent a reply requesting a price, but no response???

Anyways, I picked up some 19" 269M's from a local enthusiast and he gave me a great deal, super nice guy. I sold my 230's for $1800 and paid $2000 for the Motorsports

Win win woooot!! I'm putting them on next Saturday and I can't wait!

OEM GTS wheels might be a better choice.

I got 18" M3 replica wheels from Kal Tire for my winters. Im pretty happy with them. They were about $130 per rim. And they have a coating for extra protection in the winter.
