can you recommend a hot wheel for a black e36 m3?

[m3j0n]

must be a 17 or 18. Not too heavy, but strong enough for daily driving. I love FULLY polished lips, stepped or reverse will do. I dont want to break the bank account. I prefer a staggered setup. I love yalden's hartge wheels, but i think they are too difficult to find as are the 3 piece ACS wheels that I love. THe Fikse fm5 is my ultimate wheel, but way out of my price range for this car. What color centers would go best on a metallic black M3? Any thoughts? All contributions are appreciated.

they look very nice on your car, but they arent my taste. I love the red w/ gunmetal.

[Yellow2]

Yeah, they are one of my favorite wheels. Mille Miglia has one just like it I had on my turbo 5 series, these are jsut a little havier but 17x8 and 17x9 :)

yep, i was thinking about these or the kosei k1s, then keeping my LTWs as spares. THe asa seems to be a fantastic wheel, but its kinda played out.

[Daniel325i]

I think I'm in the same boat as you. I like a mesh wheel with some lip, decent weight, price and strength in 17 or 18 inch. Seems like I can get 2, but never all 3. I like the FM10's and LM's, but they are $$$. I like the LM knock-offs but they are heavy. It'd be interesting to see what you find.

[m3j0n]

you might really like the new LTW empower wheel that was just introduced... I personally think it has 2 too many sets of spokes.... 8 double spoke would have been perfect for that wheel....

[savage217]

Dinan/fikse fm5's look amazing on black cars. They may break the bank though. K1's look good on black but everyone has them. ACS wheels always look great, type 1 or 2 are my favorite. Its hard naming nice looking, strong light wheels that wont break the bank. If you could though, find some dinan fm5's and your ride will look amazing.:)

I totally agree. I also don't care for the colors that are available. I like the lighter center but it's too "flat" imo. The darker center wouldn't go to well with my boston green e36 IMO. I wish there were a few more guys running them, not many pictures floating around.

You have good taste.

Yeah, I agree.. FM5s are the wheel Ive always wanted, but Ive never found someone asking a reasonable price for the "correct" wheel setup. YOur ssr gt2s are a very nice alternative though. I might just have to pony up the dough for a set of FM5s sooner or later..

HEHE.. thank you.... you have the exact same taste as me.

We put my black ASA AR1s on my friends black m3 this weekend.

It looked amazing. Hopefully he'll chime in with some pics

17s or 18s?

[stimpee]

Diamond black RGRs looked great on my Cosmos Sedan

If you want polished lips, how about a set of Diamond Black centered RS-GTs?

Oh, and INSTALL THE TWIN SCREW!

:D

[M5Yates]

Some masking tape and a can of spray Cosmos will make any ACS wheel look like you want.
