Purchasing style 260 wheels from Europe?
Hey all,
It looks like the M3 here in the US will get the silver 260's as opposed to the gunmetal 260's in Europe. Is there a source in Europe that will ship OEM 260's to the US? Thanks, BoB |

How do you know that for sure? The ordering guide doesn't exactly spell that out.

The guide describes the finish as "satin chrome". I've seen pictures of test mules with a matte finish silver wheel and assume that is the color they are referring to.

Anyone else hear anything on this point? Myself, I quite like the 18s in the "gunmetal" finish -- they're pretty unique and have a "racing" look to them. If they are in a matte bright silver -- -- then they're just plain stupid. Then I'm getting the 19s, selling those, and slapping on a sweet set of M6 standard issue rims as soon as you can say . |

Hmmm...well it does appear that we'll be OK. I have a 335xi, so I used the owners' circle to send an e-mail. Here's the reply.

Well crap
So I went to international site and the 260M wheels looked silver, despite the german, uk, and australian site looking dark. I wrote back to BMW and got the following reply.
