my front rims are bent, having a hard time finding stock replacements. have excellent rubber so 16" rims would be cool.

I do have an opportunity to purchase 2002 M3 replica rims, 18x9 offset 41 believe at a cheap price. would these fit and what kind of rubber would be decent?

just extra info. they are non staggered. basically the guy said they were like having two sets of the real M3 front rims.

if the offset is close it should work. If theyre both 5 bolt they will bolt right up. yokohama s drives are great

Hey Steven, The new rims look great !

Shocka · 06-21-2009, 10:22 AM

indeed, they really make the car stand out. How does it handle on the bigger wheels?

handles awesome on the bigger rims. only went to 17" new Core Racing rims though. Overall a nice improvement i must say though.

Oh anyone know of a good after market parts place in Vancouver/Kelowna area's or a good canadian website. wouldnt mind hooking up some angel eye headlamps and maybea few other pieces.
