maybe but all the m3's are 19 inch wheels and basically the same body as my car, with just a few more accents and details.

i think they'll look good on it but hey, if they don't i can always sell um since i got such a good price on them.

yea you're right about the 19's on M3's.

maybe it's just the angle of that picture or the kit on the M3's disguises the size a bit. but hope it works out for you.

I think it will... plus with an all black car some of the shadows and shit probably make them look a tiny bit bigger than they really are. I can barely see the tires in that 1st pic.

I usually prefer the Gunmetal CSL's but in this case, for some reason, the M6 style rims look much better.:wink:

Meh... I like gunmetal but its hard to pull off on a black car, unless its got a polished lip. I'd keep the machined M6s but we'll see. I may be wrong, post pics again when you get them.

Nice. I was never a fan of the M6 wheels on any 3 series or M3. They look too big for the car.
