Default M3 wheels revealed

These seem to be the final ones. What do you think?

it looks like a good cross between the E46 M3 and the E36 M3 wheels. They fill out the wheel arches nicely too

I would say they still look a bit small. Do you think those are 18"?

They're just M5 wheels but with more spokes

I find them awesome. A perfect teaser before the official photos of the car come out.

Ehh, they are okay. Don't really like them.

Suggestion: Could we make one thread w/ all the info in regards to the E90/E92 M3?

I was going to say just put all this stuff in the BMW news sticky in car chat. I've already linked to this thread in it.

i would say those are 18s. The look like the Continental ContiSport tires that are on the E46.

They seem too boring for the M3.

They are 18's and they are too boring for the M3.

Even the E46 18's were more brilliant than those.

I either hope these are not the base wheels or they do a little cosmetic work on them....aka color.

Wonder what the optional 19's will look like......

It's been pretty well known that it's going to have the 4.0 V8 for some time.

it's amazing what the new front bumper does for its looks. A bit more aggressive look with the head lights.

Wish I could say the same for the rims. They just look plain and dull. I'm sure the M5 or M6 rims would look better on the M3 than those..
