    That's not the right fitment for me, but I would love to see how that looks on an e46 M3.

    Finally got a set of square mercury silver TEs for the M3 and threw some 265/60s on the ZE40s and put them on the e53 I picked up. It's funny to me that these things can share wheels.

    E88s that are purchased from Team Schirmer only take about a month to deliver to your door - my set took exactly two weeks to arrive after placing my order:

    TEs are my forever wheel and I still have my OG square FS set to switch between the E88s.

    I should have my Shirmer E88s this week. Ordered them almost exactly a month ago. US customs was an absolute pain in the ass to deal with but at least the import fees were way less than I expected.

    Do you happen to have an exact weight on the Schirmer spec E88? Didn't see anything on their website.

    E88s are light though, and 18s. 19" LMs will feel much, much different i.e., slower.

    I'm still debating between gold and silver. I had gold LMs in 2003 so methinks I might go with silver.

    Too many rims not enough space man.

    They still look good though hence why I will add to the armory.

    LMs are optically superior, e88s are having their shine at the moment. Both are gut.

    Do it now, put your order in, may be a year before the wheels show up.

    I was contemplating silver but im glad I went with Gold. it made it 100% worth it.
