Derek's E90: ///M3 Sedan Journal

[slater]

Those are BBS E88s. Yea, the Style 666 are one of those rims I really will never love, just like my 219 wheels..lol

really? i like the 219s. they would look awesome on my X3.

me too, i almost sourced a set locally before the Arc 8s but they sold quickly. i love them as an OEM wheel. 18s not 19s and very sporty. they feel like an evolution to the 135s in gunmetal.

totally! fitment in the rear is the hard part. good excuse for hard motorsport flares...?

The 219 looks great on other models but it never is my first choice. It does look okay when it is lowered with spacers



BUT

I'm still waiting for my cousin to give me these rims...

BBS GT4 RE rims for the BMW Motorsport GT4 M3 race car. 18x9.5/18x10. They are essentially the original rim the Apex EC-7 is replicating. If he doesn't give me these rims, I'll get Apex EC-7s. I'm in no immediate rush to get anything so I'm patiently waiting.








I've been excited about these rims for awhile. He has a set with red BBS caps too.

When it comes to E90/2M - I'm really digging the competition package wheels.

[holyc0w]

Yeah, those look perfect for the car.

edit: both of those^^

Those GT4 REs are smoking in the E9x.

I have to agree but they are 19s. Tires = premium and people are asking $2000 for a set of the rims used! With about 1300 or so ZCP optioned M3s, that gives a very small pool of rims out there for sale. I rather buy a full set of Apex EC7 18x10et25 all around or wait for my cousin's set of BBS GT4 for rarity.

Those GT4s are also about 5-6lbs. lighter than ZCPs

Plus it is BBS motorsport designed for BMW, so still "OE" in those terms! The major plus here is that they are 18" rims. 265/35/18 Front, 285/35/18s Rear would be the ideal staggered setup. If not, EC7, 275/35/18 all around!
