M3 Competitions on my LCI

D_Smiderreen · 04-07-2011, 08:45 PM

Props to Sonic Tuning for hooking me up with the sweet deal. Here are the details:

*Front 19x8.5 +35 offset? - BFG KDW2 235/35/19
*Rear 19x9.5 +33 offset? - 265/30/19

Available Size Front: 19x8.5" +35mm, Rear: 19x9.5" +33
Bolt Pattern 5x120
Center Bore 72.56
Weight Front: 26lbs Rear: 28lbs
Finish Hyper Black
Model 359 Style ZCP
Offset Front: 35, Rear: 33
Recommended Tire Size Front: 235/35-19 Rear: 265/30-19
Description These wheels are stylish and offer a bit more brake clearance than OEM wheels

The BF Goodrich tires are a HUGE improvement over the stock RFTs in terms of ride quality and handling. The only drawback about these tires is the fact that they sound like a school bus when cruising around between 20-40 Mph. Over all I'm satisfied, I think the rim color goes well with Montego.

I forgot to point out these are REPS, I'm pretty sure it's close to the factory finish; the name, I don't know. Winning Silver........yeah that sounds good.

tracerit · 04-08-2011, 08:09 AM

what make and model are those wheels? they look pretty good and the finish matches your car perfectly

are you on stock suspension?

Ninpo1 · 04-08-2011, 08:28 AM

I agree with Tracerit. Very nice wheels. I'd like to know the specs on the wheels as well!

MassBimmer · 04-08-2011, 08:59 AM

Wheels look great on the car, really flows nicely
I find it hard to believe that those are the specs...

dcorn · 04-08-2011, 09:44 AM

Wheels look good, needs a drop

And yeah, those are super agressive offsets for an LCI car.

Nick999 · 04-08-2011, 10:18 AM

et22/26 shouldnt fit an LCI?? Nearer et40 is recommended on these later cars.

NiVeDh · 04-08-2011, 10:36 AM

Looks good. Probably ET35 front and ET33 rear if I had to guess.

Ninpo1 · 04-08-2011, 10:48 AM

Sorry. I misunderstood. I see now in the title of the post that re wheels are M3 competition. I've had my 3 series for about a month and didn't realize that this was the type of wheel. I see the size of the wheels in the original post.

I knew they were reps but the finish seemed darker than the factory finish mine have. Either way, they look good on your car.

I think these are the correct offsets. I will contact the vendor to confirm.

The unique thing about this finish is that the color or contrast seems to shift some what depending on lighting...could be my eyes though. I'll try to take some when it's brite out.

Stock sport suspension

nbkkvv5 · 04-08-2011, 11:51 AM

Please let us know what the vendor confirms for offsets. Do you have any rubbing issues now with that setup now? I understand that 33 is iffy with rubbing and that 35 to 40 is preferred for LCI if you don't want rubbing or having to roll fenders using a 265 tire

Scroll up.....wheel details are added to the original post. I've noticed the only time I hear SLIGHT rubbing in the rear is when I'm going down a parking ramp to street level and sometimes vice versa; it's really nothing major that I would be worried about. I've also taken a few corners and exit ramps pretty hard and I could hear nothing. I think you are safe with these offsets on sport suspension IF YOU DON'T plan on lowering....heck I think I could have gotten away with 275's in the rear..who knows?

I'll make a coscto run this evening, it should be interesting to see if it rubs with a full trunk or passengers.

VMRWheels · 04-08-2011, 01:15 PM

That looks great. I really like the wheel color combo with your paint.

NiVeDh · 04-08-2011, 01:30 PM

The color is cool. Looks like a sort of hyper black. I really like how it doesn't look as chrome-ish as VMR's hyper black finish.

jose_sonictuning · 04-08-2011, 04:10 PM

Car looks great!!!! I love that color combo! Door is always open if you have any questions for us!!

Ghost170 · 04-08-2011, 04:31 PM

cool, looks like OE m3 wheels. color does match your car.

Jake@MOTIV · 04-08-2011, 05:52 PM

I got these too!!! Wei and Jose are great. I think I will end up buying all the wheels they sell lol.
