Yeah, I really like them, my only suggestion is to maintain them. They are a B*tch to clean. Or do any of you know an easy way of cleaning them? But I am sure you will love them on your car, I know i do.

Try one of those pressure steam cleaners. They will probably get the brake dust off no prob. Or, be like me and use a toothbrush or my girlfriend.

I use a toothbrush and it just cant get those tight corners....I will eventually find something that will work, I'm not goin to take a pressure washer to it.

so you have 18" M3 rims on...do you have your fenders rolled or does it fit fine with the 245 tire?

Did your rims come polished or did you have them polished? http://x4.putfile.com/9/25018524794.jpg Also, it seems like you are missing the M tablet on your wheels, which leads me to believe that your rims are not OEM. The offset of the OEM E46 M3 rims are different as discussed in multiple threads, but you say they fit on your vehicle with no problems. Please clarify. Thanks.

I just made the same observation in the other thread that is titled the same. I'm really leaning towards he's running non staggered replica's and doesn't know it.
