As Title i was Searching some Other alloy wheel fitments for and
E46 M3 other than the Usual Wheels you see on M3's 19's are perfect but ive seen a Set of Wheels i Really Like and their a Limited Production run but only in 20"
Thoughts on 20's?
Obviously id have to change out the Eibach Pro kit for Coilovers to Accommodate
I think 20's on the E46 look too big.
Wide 19's and a nice drop fill the arches lovely. 20's just look like they are trying to hard.
Never liked the 20" wheel on the e46. Im almost tempted to get 18"s.
Handling would be sacrificed too

What wheel you looking at?

Another vote here for 18s/19s. Never liked the way the coupe sat on 20's even with larger arches on the M.
Looked thru some Pictures on Cutters already and the rims were Horrible didnt look Right.. the Wheels i was Looking at are Vossen VLE-1s
I saw a set come up for sale in the right fitment..
Fantastic Wheels but not sure if they would work on a 46

Definitely different!!!
Not sure about them myself but it's hard to tell without seeing them on an E46.
They seem quite edgy/sharp which ties in with the E90, think the E46 is more round in places then sharp, if that makes any sense to you.
Theres a Super Concave on them i just think they are so Different but cannot find a set on an e46 m3 anywhere, the touring above looks great on them but its got sharper lines and maybe thats why they work, i was always a fan of Different wheels, some are marmite.. just lke the Compomotives i had made for the E30, Loads didnt like them but i loved the Look
Stick with 18 or 19s Brian! I think Bart had 20s on the rear of his old M - 20 profile though so I imagine the ride was harsh to say the least!
I've been driving on 18s the last few weeks and the ride is less crashy compared to the 19:

Quantum44 up north do a very similar wheel in 19inch. Quantum44 S5D could be an option!

Dont know if you have coilovers on the M or not? But you'd need the car sitting fairly low on 20's for it to look right imo.
18's look too small in the wide arches i find, ive 19'CSLs on now which look great with the spacers but these wheels are only made in a 20' fitment..Quote:

Some run these with 275 at the rear and they look class! Or rears all roundQuote:

But 20's are a taboo on alot of cars, so hard to pull off, just haven't seen anything nice on an e46..
20s belong on jeeps. 19s were a push on my old E46, looked great but truth be known it compromised the ride and made the car rather trashy with little to no rubber in the sidewall. I think you will regret it big-time. E46 M3's look the b)ll(x anyway, not needing monster wheels for that title ;)
to each his own

Fookin Bentley grills :mad:
Is that a photoshop?? looks brutal :D i might just get the CSL's refurbed not much out there to top them on an e46
Hot rod it.... 20s on the rear, 19s on the front.
19"s for me on an m3.
I'm actually thinking of going 20's on my f10 at the end of the summer but I think the f10 would get away it and I also don't think it will disrupt the handling since I go about 30mph whereas you have power to put down.
