Does anyone know a shop that would have style 37 (M parallels) good replicas with 3 series offset? I can't find anything... I really like the look but it's a no go with e39 offset.

The e38 7-series, e31 8-series, or e34 5-series offsets may work...if you can find them...and they'll have the correct centre-bore size, so no need for a spigot ring to make them fit.
I had a set of the e34 ones on my Z4M for a few weeks whilst I had my 224Ms refurbished.

I'd need ET34+ at least. The wheel needs to be completely under fender or I'll be illegal...

I didn't realise you had thought of getting 17s.
Anyway there are a few other posts on here with wheels in similar colours to yours:- viewtopic.php?p=1873670&hilit=Zedebee#p1873670 that got positive comments!

Yeah, I really like the 194’s and found a picture of a coupe with them but literally everyone says no and convinced me that they were the wrong choice. So I fitted gold 261’s instead.Mr Tidy wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 10:28 pm I didn't realise you had thought of getting 17s.
