They're still CH's... And even after straightening they were still a lot cheaper than an equivalent set of straight CH's. :)

Myself, I'd rather pay the extra cash for a perfect set of CH's rather than deal with the headaches of trying to fix a bad set.

No rubbing on front & rear fenders with ET35s? How about the calipers?

There's no rubbing with a stock suspension I'm sure.
With a lowered setup, you need to modify the plastic in the rear wheel well as well as roll your fenders.

Stock calipers fit just fine. They even fit perfectly on the BMW Performance BBK's.

Initial detail of the M3 today... Really wasn't in horrible shape, but I found some hologram on the hood and a few fine scratches. So, did a polish and final coat of wax going on soon. Then I'll hopefully get the wheels detailed and some wax on the barrels. If I feel wild, I might even polish the exhaust tips. :)

i bought a set of 17x8.5" CH's for a previous car for $300. :)

all 4 were slightly untrue, of course. my track record for buying straight used wheels, i think is perhaps 1 set of out 15. i keep telling myself, "new wheels, peter, NEW WHEELS!" some day... ;)

Your setup is quite different because yours are 19's. Your modification requirements may be different.
