E92 M3 Style 220 in 18 inch OPINIONS???

I am going to bring the E92 M3 replica wheels in size 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear for our E90, E91, E92, and E93 BMW's and would like opinions on finish.

Currently we will have them with the standard gun metal finish and machine face. But would like opinions on other finishes.

All Flat/Matte Black?
All Gloss Black?
All Gun Metal?
All Silver or Hyper Silver??

I would have loved these in gunmetal 18", but then I decided on the Advan RS in 18" and bought those instead. Sometimes it is all about the timing, and it seems mine isn't always great. I have no regrets though!

A good non-acid wheel cleaner and a nice plush wheel brush something like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Good-Grips-170.../dp/B00004U9WG.

I've got the stock 18's that come with the e92. Would I be able to put the same exact tires on this wheel?

***UPDATE***


Hey guys sorry for the late update. They are deff going to happen, I was just waiting to finalize the price issue with the ONLY US importer for these 18 inch E92 M3 reps. I will be the ONLY vendor to offer these bad boys.

They have arrived to the US port and are going through customs right now. I am taking PRE-ORDERS because supply will be limited and since they are the ONLY 18 inch staggered M3 reps available in the USA, they will SELL OUT FAST!!!

I was trying to get the price as low as possible and was even expecting it to be in the low $900 range but last minute changes with the import company and the price will be set at $999.99 plus shipping.

The wheels have passed all JWL and VIA certifications and will have a full 1yr manufacturer warranty against any factory defects. Warranty will be honored through my company only.

Here is what we have so far.

Standard finish will be Gun Metal with Machined face just like OEM.
I can custom powder coat them in........
Silver/HyperSilver; Flat Black/Semi Gloss; Full Gun Metal; and or any other color for an additional $350 a set.

Wheel info: "******** Style 092"
E92 M3 Replica Wheels.
18x8.5 ET34 front 23.5 Lbs
18x9.5 ET38 rear 24.5 Lbs
Pricing: $999.99 for 18 inch staggered set!!!

(weights are close estimates but I will re-weigh and verify)



TAKING ORDER NOW, PLEASE CALL TO RESERVE YOUR SET TODAY.

****PRE ORDER SPECIAL****
"PRE ORDER YOUR 18 INCH SET AND RECEIVE FREE WHEEL LOCKS A $49.99 VALUE, FREE"


Thank you and kind regards, Richy

Hey JZ, nice to hear from you. I'm glad you liked your M6 reps but there's way too many members with that style wheel. These are a brand new style and have a really nice concave look to them. Let me know and you know I will take care of you.

The custom powder coating is for the entire wheel and will not have machined face if it gets coated.

You mean you like the classic standard style gunmetal with machined face right? OR do you mean the entire wheel in gunmetal?

Yeah I think Silver/HyperSilver will look really nice on these.

Matte black would look super stealthy, but silver wheels are just classy looking. I will have them in stock some time this month. Will have a better ETA next week.

Yeah timing is always a key factor in life but I would say your wait was worth it to have such nice wheels as the Advan RS. Great choice.

Hello Emanuel, YES your stock tires will work just fine on these wheels. They will be a tiny bit narrow but will be okay.
