Avante Garde M310s. I really want the M590s but they only come in 19 inch ): maybe when I burn through my summer tires and can afford a track/auto-x dedicated set of wheels. One can only dream though.

Also got an acceleration pedal spacer so heel/toe is possible. Before it was only possible when hitting the braking threshold and blipping the throttle while your head smacks into the steering wheel.

Nice choice! I've sorta want a similar set for my A4.

they were affordable, best option for me since I'm not really sold on any of the offerings available for the car.

nice, avant garde is pretty highly regarded on many bmw forums and I almost bought a set myself!

This style of wheel is my personal fav

It was a tough decision between these and Forgestar F14's but in the end it was hard to pass up the price on these things. Plus they got decent concave, something impossible to find for the FoST.

same, and the best part is I won't be able to see the brake dust now! hah

I really liked the F14's, the deep concave is amazing, I just couldn't justify putting a 10" wide wheel on my car haha.

I'm guessing they'll look great!

only way I could get deep concave F14s on this car was putting side body fender flares on the car ): but I'm happy with my decision!

get a set of hawk pads. Work great for auto-x and generate almost no dust

I have a set of their M359's. Can't beat the price.

I was thinking of that or Panda Motorworks new brake kit.

dude I want to see! They are my favorite wheels right now based on looks and price. And the fact you can get any bolt pattern or offset you want, which is a huge plus for someone who has to deal with 5x108.

well, if you had gone with the 19s you would've had plenty of room!

love the car. I had an E46 M3 way back in the day.

yeah I've seen one ST running those wheels and it was sick. I about got them but the cost of tires would have just made it not worth it since I only got 6k miles on my factory Eagle F1s.

oh you meant for the BBK I'm assuming. The Panda kit is just stock sized rotors, Hawk pads and brake lines. Cheaper than if you were to get all 3 things separately. Very tempting. Front kit is only about 350ish I think. They claim no brake fade.

350 is a good deal!

Thanks! That's what I had before this one. Wish I could have both.

I don't find the need for a BBK on these things, but 350 for a nice upgrade would be great.

how long have you had the E92? I hear they're pretty dependable.

E92M3 > citizennick 03/06/2015 at 21:35

Only 8 months or so. They have a few common problems. For example the throttle actuators like to fail, and are $1000 (just for the part). I'll take that over rear subframe failure though.

just out of curiousity I looked up what I'd have to do to make them fit, it involved fender rolling and slightly stretched tires. Damn!

on an E92? I wanted a flush offset but nothing too extreme, don't want to have to deal with that.
