06 coupe wheels

Post by Bluz4coupe » Tue Jun 08, 2021 5:00 pm

I definitely want to install M23 motorsport wheels on my '06 coupe (3.0 SI), 8.5" size.
But dealers on web say: "doesn't fit your vehicle". I see in the specs one is 41et offset, and other is 47et offset, so very close... please help!

If its a "square" set of 4 x 8.5 et 41 you intend fitting then they will sit & look a treat , zero issues & far better stance than stock rims .
Most sets from factory would be staggered however so beware that the fronts aren't 7.5et41 , they would still fit but better with a 12-15mm spacer to fronts .

I really like the classic look of the M23 from e36 and z3.
Especially version with "BMW Motorsports" embossed in center. My other goals are "M" steering wheel. Probably keeping suspension stock because "Trac car" isn't good for date nights 😕
