M3_Power 636 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Mission accomplished http://www.trademe.co.nz/805374223 If you buy those I'd change the Michelins ... he's got Sport Cup on one wheel and Sport Cup+ on another (they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYRES) ... that's like mixing slicks with standard road tyres on the same axle ... Naughty!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penelope 4 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Mission accomplished http://www.trademe.co.nz/805374223 So on it. Thank you! If you buy those I'd change the Michelins ... he's got Sport Cup on one wheel and Sport Cup+ on another (they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYRES) ... that's like mixing slicks with standard road tyres on the same axle ... Naughty!! Thanks for pointing that out, he reckons they're track tyres. I'd prefer to buy them without tyres and get new ones on but he's not keen. Those tyres are no good to me, as you said. I guess I'll wait and see, if they don't sell, he might be more open to it later... I'm in no rush. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Penelope 4 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Better wheel options for less dollars than those imo. I'm afraid those are the exact wheels I want.. Less $$ would be preferable though, yes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 those wheels look nice but they're stupidly heavy and imo 18's look better with a decent amount of rubber on it. better handling and more comfort. personal preferences though! do what you want its your car! but please bring it to the next meet im dying to see it in real life 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not worried about weight, he just needs to look "right". Umm.... I dunno, maybe... awkward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 539 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 More tyre choice in 18s if moving away from standard Michelin pas ps2 combos In terms of rims Check out lm20 rims. Very nice for the price compared with bbs lm series . Btw those factory 19 inch rims weight the same as factory 18s so not too bad for 19. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobD 41 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Try Apex wheels on the Turner Motorsport website. They're hugely popular in the US and offer a more race focused look than the semi-pimp factory M3 rims Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobD 41 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks guys but OEM 19s only. No worries. Totally understand the OEM preference. Hopefully a set comes your way soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penelope 4 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 He? Must be Man vs. Lady thing - I always refer to my car's as 'she' Hah yeah probably.. However I have had one female car before but that was mostly because the name aligned (yes I name my cars..) - it was a Tomcat, Rover parts assembled by Honda so her name was Rhonda! Still trying to figure out what the M3 will be called... No worries. Totally understand the OEM preference. Hopefully a set comes your way soon!

Penelope 4 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) 'He'd' have to have a German name... That's an excellent thought starter, thank you! Edit: wow I replied to Pg1 haha Congrats with your purchase! Looking forward to more pics. I personally don't mind those wheels at all... I don't mind the wheels but they're not what I want or I imagine on that car. I'm rather particular about things.... A car a he? A Laguna Blue too? Wow. Even I call my cars shes. And Im a she myself. Individuality I guess Well the M3 isn't exactly a feminine car compared to non-Ms and most other cars. And blue is traditionally a male colour. BUT also I'm Croatian and the word for car is of masculine gender in Croatian so it seems natural to me for a car to be male how much did you end up shell out, if i may ask. Close to asking. That colour doesn't come up often and it's specifically what I wanted so didn't have much bargaining power Edited November 24, 2014 by Penelope Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) lol u didnt have the bargaining power becacuse i bet you couldnt keep a poker face once you saw it in real life!! the seller didnt need to know that you were so keen on that colour lol.. you could have said that the colour was the 1 thing that you didnt like Edited November 11, 2014 by QUBE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I talked to him on the phone a few times and he was so damn nice and I'm just not into lying. Karma and all that.. \ It's all good, I'm happy with the price.
