I can't stand those wheels! I was with an another M3 a couple days ago and this guy came up to us with his new M3 at a Shell Station parking lot. I looked at his wheels and damn they look ugly!

At least BMW offers more than one wheel choice on most of their models. **Get a clue Acura**.

They look terrible, too busy- a five spoke wheel would have looked better and made the wheel look "bigger" overall, where with the flared fenders they look fairly small (even in its 18' inch size)....
My buddy saw a 01 M3 Convertible in Titanium Silver/black/black at his Marina and said it looked really bland- said nobody cared.
Plus whats with these dark chrome tinted wheels- they look bad real quick, once they have a thin layer of dust on them (look black), they are on the M5, M3, 01 Mroadster/Mcoupe.

I like those wheels. Have you seen the Euro wheels? The 19 inchers? Those are awesome, and they're a very similar design to the wheels in your picture.

I think the M5 wheels are awesome! If I had the M3, I would put the M5 wheels on it. Carbon Black M3 with the tinted M5 wheels.

I saw the last gen 3 series w/ an m5 rim once. Looked out of place but I love the m5 rims best but m3's don't look that bad either IMO.

I think the new M3/M5 wheels are bad-ass. BMW always does a great job with matching the right rims for the car. Mostly the cars that come with a sport package. As for the blue paint, it's gotta go......too fruity. Just my 2 cents worth.

The first time I saw those rims in a picture, I thought they were ok. It wasn't until I saw them in person did I think they look terrible. They look too small. M5's rims are even better looking in person.
I think the 330ci's rims are prettier. Maybe the euro M3's rims are better looking.

I think the new wheels look fabulous... that is the most unfair picture of you to post M3Sins.
Post a good picture of the wheels.
The new M3 looks sooooo beautiful in person... it doesnt look like a 3 series at all... it looks so hot.
