That black OZ Superleggera III on the E46 M3

I was rollin' the car with the ever-classic and popular BBS LMs.



I wanted something a little more street/aggressive so my boy Damon @ Tirerack took my order for the newly released OZ IIIs in black (definitely turning more heads - check hehe). BTW, Damon is a helpful guy who responds to the e-mails you send him.

19x8.5 and 19x10 shod with the very nice RE050A Pole Positions. Make sure you get the Pole Position version. Comparable to the PS2s, but slightly better in the wet so they say. The upgrade to the S-03s.

The rear lip is right around 3.5". I'm slammed on TC Kline coilovers and there is no rubbage whatsoever. I actually think they could've gone a little more aggressive up front, but that's just hair splitting. Overall, great fitment.

Enough of the blabber...

Nice! The rear fit is tight, any rubbing at all?

that pic came out pretty weird. there's just the right amount of clearance. it fits the same as the LMs and more conservative than the LMs up front.

thx guys for the comments

the LMs are the classic motorsport wheels for the sports car. i've run them for a while and not just on the m3. it's just time to move on from that design and i've always liked the OZ IIIs and wanted to take a shot at it when they just recently released the black centers.

i like the flat dish and how the bolts show. i like the relatively fresher design of the IIIs and since Ruf ships its cars with them, figured can't really go wrong there.

regardless, i like the more menacing look. definitely more eye poppin'

Well done. +1

Nice M3, both set of wheels looks great, each has its own appeal, Yin/Yang.
