Saw these on an M3 earlier - thought they may look good on my silver grey M, if I wasn't so OEM obsessed!!!

Cheers guys for the pics. I think the M is only really suited to 224's or 19 inch CSL's - nothing else seems to work.

The 19" CSLs look great, but are too much wheel for the car IMHO - both in size (visually) and practicality (brutally harsh ride). Thankfully, BMW absolutely nailed it with the 224 - its only shortcomings being relatively high weight, and the finish doesn't always hold up so well, but that's easily remedied.

Can't agree with that Simon , we have seen so many examples of ZMs look way better on all sorts of wheels than they did on 224s or CSLs
Equally so seen a few that looked gash :cry:
I love the modern look to CSL style i currently have on my MR & i still have the silver Veemann 37s which keep a 224 vibe but sized up to 19 look a treat to me

Again, it's each to their own and as always, this is a very emotive subject! Some say 19's are too harsh, so say not so. I drove an M with 19's and I actuallly thought it drove nicely.

I will concede though that the Veeman's do "work" and look very good. Maybe if I do decide to go to a set of 19's then a little more investigative work is required 😊

This looks immense to me!
