Pics that are ~1 year old, but show the finish on the wheels when clean:

Very recent pictures, where they're not clean but shows the lack of curb rash:
(note: fitment will look a bit different on a normal e46, as I have full M3 suspension geometry, which has a bit different track width)

Front tires are essentially brand new-- they were on the car for ~2 weeks.
Rear tires are at ~50% life remaining. Michelin Pilot Super Sports (PSS) in 235 width front and rear. I'm not looking to separate the wheels and tires.

Looking for $1600 plus shipping. I'm located in SE PA.

How is the fit on a ZHP? I know they are the same nominal width as the Style 135's, but do they fill the wells a bit better based on the lower offset?

Looks like they're 7mm more aggressively offset in the front and 12mm more aggressively offset in the front. You could throw spacers on your 135s to see how they'd fill the wells.

They're also around 10 lbs lighter per wheel! Unsprung rotating weight is worth 4-8 times as much as sprung weight, depending on who you ask, so the switch from the 135s is like taking 160-320 lbs out of the car!

And they're stronger than the 135s :)

actually, they're the same offset balance as stock, just lower... 12mm lower offset both front and rear.

kris - here's a pic of them on my Touring, for reference (black center caps instead of red, and 225/40/18 + 245/35/18 michelin PS A/S 3, so a bit less chubby than the PSS):

Thanks guys. I would run them with the 235 PSS fronts and 265 PSS rear from my stock 135's which should fill out the wells pretty well. I'm spoiled by the look of my current (winter) setup which is VMR 18x9/18x9.5 et35 with 245/35 square. Looks great but so wide there is no way I can lower the car. I want to move the 135's to winter duty next year.

Bump! Price reduced!

I had the FWD version of these, the RG-F, in 15" on my old Scirocco. In that application they only weighed 13.2 lbs apiece. The dramatic reduction in unsprung weight was IMMEDIATELY apparent.

Strong, light, forged, BBS, German (ok the BRAND is German - all BBS forged wheels are hecho in Japan for some reason, but hey). These wheels are the holy grail, gentlemen! Somebody should be on this like a hobo on a ham sandwich. This is the ONE wheel I'd replace the stock 135's with, which I generally feel should stay in place because they are unique to the ZHP (in the US).

They're made in Japan because there's only three 8000+ ton wheel forges in the world, and all 3 are in Japan :)

Greyhound is an excellent option for shipping things like this if both buyer and seller live near a terminal. It may be old news around here, but if you're not familiar with it, it can be a game changer for shipping big heavy parts.

That’s what I used for shipping front seats.
