The "Post Your Wheel Setup" Thread

[405]

My old LSB E46 M3 on BBS CH, no spacers.

I recall this being a 200 some page thread on m3forum and I would browse it for inspo occasionally, so let's re-ignite this favorite pastime for many of us.

I'll start with my very vanilla looking build so far. OEM ZCP's with a 12mm front spacer, 15mm rear. Stock tire size.

The perfect look! Nice.

I like this. I have stock Style 67 19" and was going to replace them but NLA. Looks like 219s are still available. Will they clear the competition front rotors with stock calipers? From Real OEM the front 219s are 29 offset compared to 47 on the 67s; does this present problems or require certain tire sizes?

Pretty sure I've seen people run the 996 calipers and ZCP rotors with a small spacer. I think you'd be fine

Went for the OEM +#%*$ look with the 219Ms

I'm with you! I had to buy two sets to get one and if they pop up on FB, I still think about buying them.

I wasn't a fan of the 18" style 67s until I saw an OEM set at a meetup last week in near mint condition and marveled at the chrome shadow finish. My 02' had a set that were already shot to hell when I bought the car and knowing nothing about what the period correct finish was supposed to be at the time, had them powder coated with a matte grey finish. I grew to loathe them and threw on a set of ZCP wheels as a replacement.

Anyone else think the stock 18s are perfection? A shame there's not a good way to source new ones.

No, they're too heavy and too narrow.

Wish someone made 219M/260M reps. They seem to be hard to come by these days. I might just end up refinishing my ARC-8s in brushed silver or something.

Those LMs are so sick, love it.

Appreciate it, I think the LMs are the final form street wheel for me. 😎

I spy a Dakar clown shoe. What a neighborhood 😎

The yellow clown shoe is great. The entire family uses it too, It is just another daily driver for them.

These 2 are my favourite!! 👏 well done!!

Appreciate it!

I really did like the FL5s, but the spec was just too aggressive for the e46. The rears required a lot more camber that I would have preferred and still rubbed even nearing - 3 deg in the rear with shaved fenders which was not ideal. They were also much heavier than I would have expected from Apex.

Snapped a pic of some freshly mounted lms as I pay 8 dollars a gallon

dont know why the pic is so darn grainy..

Love it!! Silver LMs on the black e46 is just so amazing! 👏

Hey, what front lip is that?

It's a Status Gruppe front bumper and one piece lip. You can't utilize the lip separately because it mounts differently than OEM style CSL replicas.
