Wheels fitted

I don`t post a lot of pics of the M3 on here as obviously this is an E9x forum but just putting the car away for the winter and fitted the new wheels yesterday. So thought I`d do some pic whoring.

Looks great Mike - likin' the rims

Pics are excellent, almost look black and white with the frost and grey road surface, with a bright blue 'monster' sitting there

Sits very well.

But I am a bit biased with that type of wheel ...

LOL, at 10 am it was still -5.5 C.

The Falkens are superb for the money Will, a set of 4 costs roughly the same as 1 rear Cup+ that I now have on my CSL rims

The Falkens have done 2 track days (open pit lane) and 2 `ring trips, still have 4-5mm on them and for 99% of people they offer all the grip you ever need.

Forgot all about this thread Mike and I've already mentioned them to Carlos to have a look.............anyhow, looking good actually and I think the weather conditions add a certain ambience.

You lot are hard up there aren't you.

Love the new wheels Mike, set the brembo's off nicely too.

I can't agree on the Falkens though, good in the dry, but a complete mare in the wet!
Traction control light is constantly on when its hissing it down, and pointless steering the car round corners, let it do it's thing and pull it right once out the other side, fun though.

Anyway enough about tyres, the car looks great
