I guess I am alone approving the spokes outboard look?
Oak - your car always looks great (partly your fault that I was "forced" to purchase HRE a few months ago). Those new wheels of yours certainly are sublime !

Those 843's look awsome on the M3. The deeper lips accentuate the contours of the fenders, especially from a side angled perspective.
Doug, do you still have the 540R's? or the new 843's? Either way you can't go wrong with the 540R's they also look great.

These PES-tuning wheels look really aggressive with the bowed out spokes. They have an " OEM " look in a nice way. Sizes and weight ? Let's see them mounted on a car !

Oak;
I still have the 540R's in the garage. Probably for sale in a few weeks after I get around to swapping the AVS' (now on the TechArts) with the Cont's (now on the HRE's). HRE's will be sold with used 1700 mile AVS's.
I put the 19" TechArts on, and so far I like them!! I think HRE is a "better" wheel, but I still have that polishing mania "problem", and don't want to spend all my time polishing the HRE rim.
I also decided not to do the 843 because it would diminish the value of your car too much

Doug , I know what youmean about the maintenance issue with the 540's, it is a labor of love. That's one of the main reason why I chose the 843's much less maintenance and easier to clean with the polished brushed and clear coated finish and no bolts! But I really like the look of the 540's, the Techarts are the easiest to keep clean and look spectacular. 
Did you take delivery of your turbo today?

No turbo for me, at least not this year. Although I have been trying to do my part to help you guys keep the economy going, business is still very slow. Only C4S & Mercedes mods for me for now.
Although I did see a real clean brand spankin new gray E55 AMG at ByDesign today (along with it's very smiley owner).
