Hi all,
This weekend, I had new shoes delivered and mounted on my M Coupe. Among other exterior modifications I've had performed recently, I think it takes the Coupe to a new level. The intent of this thread is for users to post images of their own Coupes (Non-M or M welcome!). I'll start with a few of my own, taken after all the work I've had done on the car:

Here she sits on brand new wheels: Rotiform WRO, 18" x 9" in the front, and 18" x 10.5" in the rear. I wrapped the wheels in 245mm / 285mm tires, and the car is lowered on H&R Sport Springs and Bilstein shocks. Need to dial in the front fitment and ride height, but I am very happy with the way it sits now.

This photo illustrates the sheer width of the rear wheels. Plenty of room left to go before making contact with anything under the car--maybe a 295 section width tire is in my future.

Here's a photo shortly after mounting the new wheels. I always loved the BBS RF wheel design, but they never came in a diameter that would suit the Coupe. That's where Rotiform came in; they delivered a refreshed RF design on 18" wheels. Love 'em!

And one last photo to cap it all off. Just a few minor adjustments to ride height, and this thing will be all dialed in.

nice job on Rotiform doing a nice homage to the RF. Car looks great!

Skell those wheels look great. I didn't know Rotiform did a RF replica. Time to whore out my car.

Foreground is a 2000 M Coupe, Cosmos Black over Kyalami Orange, 3.46 diff but mostly stock. Background is a 2000 Z3 2.8 coupe with an S54 and 6 speed swapped in. Jet Black over Walnut until the custom M fabric interior gets installed, custom bodywork is going on too once I have more time to work on it.
Spiritual M Coupes
OP, great choice on the wheels. Really like the look.
Here mine from a recent shoot,
Tony, can't stop starring at your shoe. Thanks for posting
Would love to get one of these at some point. Such a cool car which will go down in the history books.
Love seeing everyone's coupes! Here's a couple more of mine to inspire others to share theirs:

Figured i would get some shots while the weather was awesome
Got me a new camera today, so naturally I had to test it out. And it gives me an excuse to post another picture of my shoe, of course.
I'm curious if anyone has done a 17/18 stagger on these or if it would look strange.
Just recently bought a M Coupe and have been thinking about doing this as the car seems to have a natural rear biased rake where the front sits higher and it looks somewhat odd.
