I like that rim... What width are the rims? And what's the offset? Keep us posted on centercap info. Thanks.

I looked at 18x8 w a +42mm offset to go w a set of Blizzaks. The gunmetal will be great for winter. Going to call Enkei this week to see if I can figure out center caps, might be a deal breaker if not.

They look pretty close to a stock rim, at least not obviously aftermarket or out of place, and from everything I've heard it's a quality wheel.

Spoke with someone at Enkei. The EKM3 will not accept a BMW center cap but you can get an aftermarket decal. That said anything in the "Tuning" line will, including the Raijin which is around $30 more and looks even closer to an OEM rim. Pretty sure that's going to be my winter setup.



Here they are on a 135 just to get an idea.

I like those - and they're similar to a CSL style wheel...

I wonder if 9 or 9.5 would work in the back...

Yep, just wanted something high quality, reasonably priced that could take a BMW center cap and look reasonably OEM. Call Enkei they were super helpful on the phone.

We need good winter setups in the Midwest.

Thanks for the tip - I will definitely give them a call.
