    18x8.5 e46 M3 CSL replicas.

    Tires pictured are P-Zero D3's. I think they are 235/45R18. The tire actually says "235/645R18" on the side. Not sure what the deal with the 6 is, maybe its a R compound thing.

    Rears fit perfectly.
    Fronts rub the rear frame rail in the wheel well, and rub on the wheel well liner that holds the back of the brake duct up. Rubs there VERY bad. I suspect this won't be an issue once I switch to a proper tire size.

    I would be running 245/35R18 if at all possible, on all 4 corners.

    I love how these wheels look. Really show off the brakes well. They also make them look rather small even though they are huge.



    and the money shot.

            I've always wanted to see a 'weave' on your car. And I think I just filled the cup.

                I dunno, I just don't think they're up to par with the rest of the car. Maybe a set of the e39 M5 wheels or something - those ones on there just aren't working for the whole look - too much bling.

                As always, my - no offense Jordan - the car looks amazing, but the doublespokes looked better IMO.

                    Speedometer can be recalibrated easily to match wheels and tires.

                    With a 245/35R18 the speedo will be reading 2.1% too slow. IE 60MPH indicated would actually be 61.2MPH. Not even a big deal.

                      Those wheels are ugly, and are some super low offset which would stick out past the fenders alot. 18x10's arent fitting in the back...

                        :shock: Perfect fit for car. I love the rubber, they do not look like 18" wheels to me because of the tire size. Baller.
