New Rims - Are these the M3 Reps?

Have seen these rims on ebay, are they the new M3 reps?? undecided whether they are or not as only come in 18" whilst on the M3 they are a 19" option? What do you reckon?




Or these ones - which I really like:

Top ones LOOK very similar but I can't quite tell... I've got a feeling they're not quite right

Agree with G,those reps are OK,but too flat,M3 wheels are far more concave.

The real thang:

Oh and it needs a drop too

the 5 series M sport wheels look so good (at least on the 5). Some of the better OEM wheels BMW has come out with.

Yep - have to agree. A mate has a Le Mans blue 530d M Sport with those wheels - and it looks the dogs danglies.

Here`s a photoshop of my old car with those E60 spider spoke wheels, I wanted them before the Hartge`s but couldn`t find the right offsets at the time.

Carl ive gotta disagree i think the smoked 18s are fucking perfect. The 19s just look like all the other m sport versions. Im probb the only one that thinks that way, but my opinion is fact

Yes yes calvim i think you got the wrong wheels

The 18"s will be the drivers choice although 99% of people in the UK will fit the 19"s as we are fashion lead even though are roads are in rubbish condition.

FFS the 19's are for big boys not fashion gurus



although they do look crap for a £57k car,but that doesn't mean Stevey is in any way right


Plus i had 18's on my e46M ('cos i bought into this better handling bollox) and it was a twat to resell with them on!!!!

My statement was entirely to do with the looks. i think they look more special than the 19s.

come on squeeze admit it and you'll feel a whole lot better
