nice choice of rims!!


first off, i'd go with the silver. i think the chrome is too classy for our bimmers. however, if you really like the chrome, then go for it. it's all about personal preferences.

i'd go with the 18's. no bigger.

tire sizes, i'd go with:

235/40/18 for the fronts
255/35/18 for the rears

I agree with AZ here.... very nice choice of rims. I've always liked those. As far as chrome or silver... that's a real tough one. If you go chrome, you have to black out the windows. There's no half-pimpin with those chrome rims, it's either all or nothing. Either way, I think it will look great.

Thanks guys for the replies!

I JUST walked in from the Philly Auto Show.. Ill post some pics, probaly Tomorrow... Saw the X3 in person finally... I dunno not bad I guess..
But it didnt move me...They didnt show the M5..But the M3 there was NIIIIIICE

It was a toss up between the X5 and the MB..
I'm most likely gonna buy my girl the Mercedes ML350 in the summer


Thanks for the replies again... Wheres the best place to but the ACS's? Main Site/Best Price?

OH! and AZ... 35 series tires on the REAR????? Damn is it gonna be bumpy? Thats thin as hell

LAter!

silver definatly.

you must get ATLEST 18". 18" best overall, 19" for show.

the rim specs are incorrect. those are all for M3s. for your car, largest you can get is 8.5 wide rims anything wider you must roll your fenders.

i would suggest 18x8.5 all around with 235/40 front and 255/35 rear tires.

maximum tire width is 255 without rolling fenders for reg 3 series.

Lastly, welcome to the ACS whore club

whats mettallic saphire ? im assuming its blue. ok hers the thing, mettalic + chrome = ewww. especially silver mettalic. black is ok but otherwise, chrome looks good on solid colors, red, blue, black. but it stil ldepends on the rims, chrome is something that must be dealt with tastefully. $0.02

get the silver ACS in 18x8.

btw does breyton inspiration bother anyone else ??? two specifically made for bmw rims that look like this. i personally like the no lip on teh ACS though.

Its BLACK Metallic... so I guess you approve.. lol :P

Yea.. im still throwing he idea around... one month till i get the car...

It'll be tasteful....

[woobiee]

black saphire metallic is bmws metallic black currently. jetblack is their non metallilc black. diff being..metallic black has metallic chips in the paint to make the paint more durable. jetblack is PURE black...paint is softer than metallic black.

breyton rims tend to be soft. meaning they are easier to be damaged.

I'd go with Chrome because this will give your Beemer a more beefy look. Silver is nice but its more of the sporty look. The crome will give it both Sporty and classy! By the way, do you know what knid of rims are on that black M3?

[///M Power]

They somewhat look like Hamman.... probably pg2

[Mater]

I dont think they are the Hamman PG2 becuase the PG2's have slightly thicker spokes. I'm not to sure though. Let me know if anyone finds out cause I'm lovin those rims!!!!!! Need to get em for my Beemer!!!

Those sizes are'nt for an M3, they are for a E39. BUt they do make the right offset for your car, not to worry. 8.5 front's-et38 9.0 rear's-et45. I reccomend a 225/40/18 front, 255/35/18 rear.
