I dont like the 18s on the M3, never did. I presume thats why BMW got rid of them after a year or so.

You sure about that? I thought 19's were always an option with the exception of the CSL.Quote:

Im fairly set on the 19's, I've always liked them. Ive ruled out aftermarket wheels for now, partly because I cant find anything I like but mainly because the wheels I actually do like are 6 grand.
I'm not a fan of the 19's (or 18's for that matter) but they'll suit your car well - they'll pop against the blue, and make it look more like it rolled off the factory floor that way.
Steven Thornton does diamond cutting of wheels afaik - his contact details are here: http://cars.donedeal.co.uk/tyres-for-sale/partworn-tyres-dublin-8/3945983
He's based in beside Wheel Wizards too.
The 19s were always an extra I believe. Quite a few 2006s floating around on factory 18s.Quote:

have you thought about getting them refurbed in silver? think there was a thread put up only recently about that. Everyone has there own opinion on it but oem 19s in brilliant silver would pop against that colour imo and really set the wheel off compared to diamond cut
Worth adding here for search reasons I think - Recently noticed a new place in cookstown industrial estate called DCWR Diamond Cut wheel refurbishment, I'd imagine it's a case of doing exactly what it says on the tin. Haven't seen any of their work yet.
I recently got mine done in rim solutions. Top job done.
Murphy n gunn use them now for there work also.
