M4 Wheels on a e92
Now I usually hate it when people fit newer styled alloys on older cars, usually it doesn't work imo. However......

Might just be me but I'm not a massive fan of those wheels on that colour E92. Think they'd look a lot better on something a bit darker like SGM.

That does look good. The M4 alloys look much better in the metal too so I bet that E92 looks even better in person. Themanthatcan, I think they suit the colour of the car but obviously looks are subjective.

Unclear from the pics but if they were genuine wouldn't they be sticking out the arches as the M wheels tend to have quite an aggressive offset for normal non-M cars.

I may be biased but to me the E92 is a much nicer shape than the new 4 series.
Nice wheels. Hopefully they are a bit stronger than is it the 313s? Maybe pushing the structural strength of the wide gaps a bit too much. |

So I looked up the specs
The factory rims are like $855 each for the front and $935 for the rear! $3,580 to buy originals! The M4's 437m specs are as follows: - Front 9x19 (ET29), Rear 10x19 (ET40), Style 437M So is the bolt pattern the same? E9X The Style 230 are - Front 8x19 (ET37), Rear 9x19 (ET39) bolt pattern 5x120mm So comparing the Style 230s to the Style 437M, the rears will be fine but the fronts poke out more than 20mm. Will that really work with a non streched tire.

Not my cup of tea.
I will prefer 313s on them.

Matter of taste
Its of course a matter of taste but to me those wheels on that car look mega.....totally kick ass.
But more than that, how did you get that sucker to shine like that? |

I had the Avantgarde replica's of these on mine several months ago. They do look nice IMO. Diamond cut and lacquered wheels can be very suceptable to stone chip and lacquer damage though - which is why I got rid of them.
