I just happen to be wheel shopping. I hope this doesn't annoy anyone.

Is that a 3 piece forged rim with magnesium spokes?

Dare I ask how much? There's a really nice looking Kinesis cross spoke design that looks a lot like the BMW OEM Cross Spoke Composite #42s that I've been lusting over.

I believe a set will run you (drumroll please)...

about $4k +shipping, taxes, rubber, etc. That'd be 18 x 8.5/10.5.

Yeah they are 3 piece. I do not think they are magnesium, though. made to order, various finishes.

Imagine your nerves riding around on $5k+ of rolling stock?

Sigh...

For that kind of coin, I would be buying these...

or...

HRE, of course, are beautiful

non?

Forgeline GT3 are cool too.

Anyone actually running any of these - pics?

Hmmmm... good tip!

SSR GT3 18x8.5 = 24lbs, 18x10=25lbs and quite a bit cheaper than the K58's @ $2140. for a set. I actually found the K58's down to $3290. a set without any dickering yet.

Hmmm... would love to see a pic of the GT3's on a roadster. I'm positive they'd look great on a coupe such as the M3.

I know a lot of people run the SSR Comps but they are a little basic for my tastes.

sloppy job but you get the idea.

Thanks a lot!

Did you PS that, LOL?!

Otherwise, they look like 18's - do you know?

Wow - nice work! Thanks...

Although I do find the wheels a bit busy for the car, IMHO. Maybe they are just a bit too shiny here. I personally want the wheels to be very nice but subtle, so they blend in and don't detract from the rest of the car.

I think I’m going to be sick
:dunno:

Funny quote of the thread has to be:

“well, i don't know if my car is S52 or S54. All i know is the car is a 00 model.”
Zeemax M Coupe

In response to question:

“Is your coupe S52 or S54?”

I photoshopped a ton of wheels for this guy's Mcoupe over at DTM. Check out the thread

Hey Guillermo,

Thanks for the pointer! I checked out your images at DTM and they were very helpful!

Actually, I think I have settled on either Kinesis (ouch) or SSR GT3's (as per your work above). They are a lot less shiny in real life which was my immediate concern but thanks to JPinTO and yourself for originally pointing me in that direction!

I like these

Including the FM5 & FM10. I have no idea about weights. I don't think the BBS CH come in M Coupe offset.

A little late but here's my contribution:

You can get these in non-chrome too (which I think looks better)
Racing Dynamics Sports

Similar but from a different company:
