New rims and tires on my 08 M3 Sedan
I needed to get winter tires so I figured I would use my stock 18 for winters and get some nice summer tires and rims. I found a good deal on these brand new and I figured I would try them out. Be gentle but let me know what you think and yes I know 18's are the best for track and 19's are the best compromise for looks and performance. I will spend 99% of my time driving like a normal human being on public streets. I also did not want to affect acceleration and these tires and wheels are within 1lbs of the stockers per corner.
Specs:
O.Z. Ultraleggera HLT
Yokohama Advan Sport
20x8.5 29ET (34ET rim 5mm spacer)
245/30-20
20x10 22ET
275/30-20

Yea, they are right on the edge for this sized vehicle. Just wanted to try something different. In person they really do provide a interesting stance.

Possibly, still debating. The winters here in MI can be pretty brutal. It would be nice if the front could be just dropped a little as the back really is not that bad. Actually the front is not super bad but a slight drop would definitely help.

If I am not mistaken this is not a forged wheel. This is a cast wheel and I would not put these on my ///M car. This is especially if I am going to do high speed runs.
If you are into looks and not function then I guess it is okay.

As stated above I will do 99% of my driving on public roads and will not be racing it there. I believe the stock 18's are cast and most people state those are the best for the track. I have used the stock 18's on the track and they were just fine.
