hey i have a 99 m3 here are a few pics. i was wondering what everybodys opinion is on what rims i should get... it seems like its so hard to find rims that look sweet on my car. i wanna go with 18's staggered, Im not putting this in the poll section bc its open to anything, im leaning twards silver with maybe a polished lip or all silver. i really really want the HRE 547R but at the moment i dont have the $$$.. if you have any ideas i would like some ideas please and if you can photo shop them onto my car or post a pic of them so i can do it myself.... thanx for any help
**here is a nice pic to play with in PS**

save your money and get the HRES later down the road...you'll just regret it in the end...I wasted my money on a first set before I got my type 2s, I love ltw's and they look great on your car I wouldn't worry about it for now...I'm lookin to buy a set for myself as winter wheels...

If you can't afford the 547s, the 400R series are substantially cheaper. I know, I've shopped around, and I'm about ready to order my 547's

You dont race do you?

The local Z06 guys have heard of HREs breaking on the track and HRE saying they wont cover because the wheels are not built for track duty.

The Tire Rack has a yellow M3 in the wheel selector, should help.

Have you ever considered Powder Coating your motorsport wheels, or having them polished? A whole new look for under $500 bucks.

I say save your money, and just powder coat your current wheels black, and complete the yellow/black look

I saw a black M3 with Volk Racing GT-Cs I think 18's they look great but they are pricey
