You're going to lower your car with all these terrible BR roads? That is exactly what has delayed my coil over purchase. What are you trying to accomplish with new springs, just looks? If so most sport springs will lower the car about the same, but they wont help performance that much.

yeah I can tell you ever dip, uneven, bad road from baton rouge to new orleans to biloxi. All my cars have been low, my truck being the highest and I could barely roll over a coke can. I prefer looks, I'm not doing any road coursing or anything, but I want the ride to be comfy. I've been trying to read everyones reviews on the springs I'm looking at. Right now I'm between the H&R sport or race, B&G, or Eibach. B&G and H&R sport are about the same, difference of about .10"-.20". So I want to see what it looks like, not sure if I want to go Race. Eibach is if I want to go super conservative (which I doubt)

good luck deciding after seeing all these

My favs on the e92 out of all these are the M341s and the VS8.2s

The wheels on the white m3 are VS8.2s but the picture of just MORR wheels are VS7s like mine.

if someone would run a set of vs8.2s 19 x 10 squared...

not sure how aggressive you could get with the fronts on an e92 though.

but i imagine it would look AMAZING.

I thought about the M364 looks like it has a little lip and its a little concave.

I'm gonnga look into the VS8.2 that is a deep enough concave for me

VS7 FTW!!!

But yeah that would be so nasty, but prob no way you can that aggressive on the front of an e92. You may be able to get closer on an M3 due to the wider fenders but on a 335, not a shot.

yea todd. though ive seen 18 x 10s all around on e46 sedans which have the least amount of room in the front out of all e46s.. if thats possible im pretty sure ANYTHING else is too.. lol.. money and time can make anything work.

im going to run 18 x 9.5 all around... id wouldnt mind seeing 19 x 9.5 all around on one of you guys' cars.

Yeah you're right about that, money can get you anything on a car really. One of tracked e46s is running 285s square on motons, sickest looking stance. I need to get a picture of that.

I got them used from a guy on here and then grants mom powder coated them for me. And now that someone hit one of them I'm thinking about pulling all the paint off and brushing them.

What I really want to do is brush the whole face and everything and then paint the inside of the wheel black. Thats what I WANT to do but who knows if I will ever do that. I will prob do it later when I can't think of something else to do to the car.

yeah...I'm not gonna go that route....$2550 for a set with out tires/tpms/shipping....yeah thats more then i want to pay. I figured if I get something with a 10" rear width I would have the concave I want without it being a 3 piece wheel. But I'm thinking about going with a rear lip....IDK

I even like the 19" stock 230 style wheel

yea thats what i meant Todd. It looks soooo good.

Jonathon. If you get OEM wheels i dont think you would be happy in the long run.

Get the Wheels you want the first go around.

You can just take the tpms out of your stock wheels, just keep an eye out in the for sale section, used IMO is the best way to go mainly b/c it usually comes with usable tires.

Its not my cup of tea but it def looks good and if thats your style and thats what you want go with it, like Brandon said, get the wheels you want first you will prob be disappointed with OEM.

I can't afford the one I really want....Vorsteiner 308 or Adv 1 (any of them hehe) But I've kinda narrowed it down in no particular order: avant garde m364, Miro 111 (sorry brandon), vmr 713, but I'm still looking.
