Thanks for the info. I like what you have. Do you run 18's or 19's? Right now I've got brand new Continental tires, they are okay, better than the stock ones, thinking of changing those out too when I change the rims. I guess I need to take a picture of my car and post it don't I? Better wash it first!!!![[:D]](/images/smilies/biggrin.png "Big Grin [:D]")
There are lots of wheels available for the e46 M3. HRE wheels are sweet!
Personally,I also like Hamman wheels. I went off of the usual path when I selected the Imola Design21 wheels for my M3.

Mine? Jet Black. There's a couple of decent photos in the gallery section.
The 19"s are a little rougher of a ride, but I would only guess about 5-9% rougher than the 18"s. The control is quite a bit better w/ the 19's though. The only drawback to the 19"s that I see is potholes! If the roads in your driving areas aren't in good shape, stick to the 18"s. The last thing you'll want is a bent rim due to a pothole.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, the pothole thing, Livermore is your typical small city, potholes love this place. Not to mention driving over in San Francisco, thats always a treat. I'm worried about it with the stock rims since they are so soft already. Jet black, huh? Thats what I was looking for before I bought mine. I've always owned black cars, there is just something about them. Like they say, you see it and you know its the one. In as much as what the materials the after market rims are made of, is there any difference there?
Yeah, after my first black 325es, I didn't have to think twice. The carbon black did catch my eye, but I just had to have the jet black. And yes, I am apparently into self abuse, it is a bit of a pain to keep spotless.
Typically, you can cet cast or forged wheels. Cast wheels generally cost less and forged wheels are stronger and usually cost more.
