Wheels

[Simon 3.2M]

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

Sorry it’s blurred Simon but you get the idea.

 

[buzyg]

Nice, but soon similar to OEM, why would you. :?

 

[R60BBA]

I think Mr Wilks has done this...?

 

[Yorkie Z]

I had something similar.

 

[Simon 3.2M]

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.

Not seen those before. Me like 8)

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
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!

 

[Gazza51]

Can’t beat ‘em

 

[Simon 3.2M]

They do shorten and fatten the car.

 

[TomK]

Can’t beat ‘em

But they are not csl's?
Looks strangely over tyred. What are they?

 

[Gazza51]

I didn’t say they were CSL’s :wink: , I prefer these to CSL’s

359’s from a 1M

245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 on the rear, Conti Sport

 

[TomK]

Ah right, sorry I thought you were saying they were!
I remember now the chap who put them on originally a year or so ago, they do look good, I guess you bought his car.
Personally I'd say the tyres are a little on the large size, maybe something to consider when they wear out

 

[Gazza51]

I’d probably drop the fronts to 235 but leave the rears

They look better in real life.

I still prefer CSL’s, but ZCP 359M are nice wheels.

 

[Argenta]

Seen cars with the 313’s too, look really good. They are from the same design generation (bangle) which make sense.

The CSL’s are of course an older e46 generation rim but I do like mine still. 19” but not crashy, could be down to 265/35-19 rears and Eibach Pro springs.

359's on Silver Grey. 235/35x19 front, 265/30x19 rear.
