      I'm in LA. Yeah the hotboi wheel of choice right after Tes which have passed the inflection point.

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

        Both those cars look so good. The rear spacer really makes it work though. But I actually like LMs more than E88s cosmetically *ducks for cover*

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

            Good, no one out in Florida has these bad boys except for one other E46 out in Florida that I know of.

              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.

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

                  LMs are good too but yes they're significantly heavier compared to E88s - which are used for motorsports/competition.

                  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.

                      I know a guy that's selling some 18x10 square LMs if someone wants those. I don't know how much heaver the LM is than the E88 in the same size though.

                        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.

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

                            Are those TE37s the +22 or +28 fitment? And why do those wheels on the X5 look so good... wow.

                              The TEs are 18x10 +25. And yea I'm happy with how the ZEs look on the X5. I've always liked bronze on black and the fitment just happened to be absolutely spot-on with some chunky tires. Those are 18x9.5/10.5 +22 staggered.

                                I'm not obsessive about wheel weight so I'll trade it for optics. I'll just get e88s until I get tired of them and then move on at some point.
