tough choice... what's your goal? sporty look or vip show look?

HRE for show look, and TE37 for sporty look.

I also think the HREs are played out, and the Volks dont look all that great.

May I suggest these:

I think those Volks and the wheel cornelius posted are too "sporty" for a sedan.

If I was going for a mesh style, I'd go w/ BBS LMs or CHs

Since you don't have BBS as an option, I'd go w/ the Volks in 19.

Out of those 2, I'd go for the HRE's. I prefer lip, therefore the HRE's. However, if you were to go with Volk TE37 with the M3 offsets (more aggressive and with lip), I'll change my vote to Volk then.

volk g2's. lighter, stronger and probably a whole lot cheaper. this probably doesn't matter if you don't drive your car hard or if you're going to get a huge size rim with tiny rubber band tires. i didn't like the g2's at first but i love them now.

Chrome?

Both wheels in 20s weigh almost the same btw. HREs are 1 lbs more each wheel.

Course the G2 19s weigh much less.

Just think about the time you'll be saving each time you clean the car

I hate getting into all the nooks n crannies on mesh wheels.

HREs = Classy look
Volks = Sporty look

BTW, if you didn't know, the M3 ALMS car runs Volks:

Listen, these G2's are awesome and look fantastic in person. Have you seen Greg's GTR with the black finish? Maybe ppl don't like the thin spokes?



If you want to see how formula silver looks, here's another pic with the TE37's. This is a special one-off production run for the G37. I'm trying to work with Rays to get me this finish in NSX fitments (since they do not normally offer this finish with TE37's). Hmmm... how about TE37's on your bimmer? Classic look and never gets old.

I didn't see those other pictures before I responded... Go with the G2's, it fits with the sporty image of the M3...

I would get HREs over Volks, but if you really want Volks I would get TEs over G2s. I just think they look better, the G2s look cheap for some reason.

I like the Volk better than I like the lipped HREs (c20), but I like the monoblok hre better than both. What about something like OZ Ultraleggara HLTs?

Dont have a vendor account to get OZ. Plus not really a fan of them.

One more option as of today.

Weights:
20 - 9.0 ~ 19.8lbs
20 - 10.5 ~ 21.6lbs

^^^ those look good. However they kind of look too stock? I know they look nothing like the stock wheels but they have a stock wheel feel to em. Probably the center caps fooling me.

If you're going to be advertising, I don't think you should get the HRE's and be like everyone else. Be different
