19'' rims for my E46 M3

[yrrattan]

Hi
I tried to get second hand CSL rims but couldnt find any... so I looked for brand new rims and tyres.
This is what I found, they're not exactly csl rims, it looks more like the 1M rims...
Can you please give me your opinion on how they'll look on my M3 ?
I paid R6000 for the rims.
I'm putting Nankang tyres on, and I'm paying R6200 for the set, another question I have is the tyre size, they're putting 235/35/19 up front, and they want to put 275/30/19 in the rear, I think the 275 might be too big, any opinions ?

Thanks Everyone

You can compare the look to the CSL rims in the picture and let me know...

IMO these rims dont look great on the lines of the e46, they are amazing looking on e9x though. but, as they say, opinions are like arseholes :rollsmile:

are they the correct m3 offset at the rear, about ET20 will do nicely

if they are ET35 you will need to run spacers to make it look right, and it is gonna be a big ass spacer

Will they fit right on a normal E46 ? Like mine ? offset wise ? just asking :rollsmile:

I dont know if the offset is correct but I'm going to fit them on today and I'll know. If I fit them on will i be able to drive with it if the offset is not right ?

I think they were meant for the E9x , so if doest look as good on my M3 I'll fit them on my brothers E90 330i.

I'll post up some pictures later on with the rims on.

Thanks

I agree. Not really great on the e46 but as Kabal says.... Opinions are like an arsehole thats why everbody has got 1. Post pics and lets see how they look

I got the rims on....
I dont mind the opinions hey... even I have one about everything...

I dont know what to think... in a way it looks good and in a way its not looking comfortable... The guys I bought it from did say it was CSL rims though... If I complain will they listen, or do anything ???

Anyway , the ride is good but the steering feels little lighter, and the drive didnt feel much different from the previous rims.
I need to get a spacer for the back, but what size ?
I still got to do the alignment.

Please give me your opinions...

Thanks Everyone

that looks great, no lies

Car looks good :thumbs: but the rear wheels look like they hiding inside.

 

[kabal]

looks pretty nice actually.

but you need a 10mm spacer at least, probably 15mm. This means you need 10mm/15mm longer bolts too.

but you should tell the guys they are talking kak, and are selling you incorrect wheels for the car really. he calls them CSL wheels, when the rest of the world calls them M3 Competition wheels, or Style 359M

I think it looks absolutely lovely, but the only thing is, it makes the M look subtle, gives the car or more subtle look. The 19 inch convertible rims, like what stivov has on his M looks best in IMO.

I still say, the rims are lovely and by no chance ugly or don’t suite the car, I just think it needs a more aggressive-stance-type looking rim boet!

 

[muqs]

i like it :=): u right, u need rear spacers

 

[msm]

Looks great :thumbs:

but agree with the other guys on the rear. They need spacers, as they are too "tucked in"

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

:thumbs: Looks great man! Love those rims! Get some spacers (done right) on those puppies and put some more pics!

Are you from The Glen side by any chance?

I like it, I think the rear wheels need more concavity though.

Heres a coupe with those wheels.

 

[kabal]

^^ problem is you can only get that concavity by having a low offset

 

[Sankekur]

I think that looks pretty good

 

[moranor@axis]

i think the rears need to be spaced out a bit, but i think they do look good on the car...

 

[nasser*]

looks good!
