Weirdly, the make the car look a lot more black than the old wheels. Also too, a lot more M3ish.

Weirdo.

And ... congrats?

Congrats... It was time for an M. Thank god, I haven't test driven it they sound so good from the outside (or :eeps:).

Does it fit 17's for snows? I know the total diameter is a bit larger than the 3er's (same rears as cayman) so you may need a different winter set. Oh, the patience of waiting until March to feel the real handling of this car....

HOLY MOLY!!!!

Congrats. Can we get some more pictures along with some specs?

I put snows on the M3 Wednesday of last week. We woke up Friday monrning to 4" of snow and all we had at home was the M3, so for once putting the snows on early paid off.

Part of me thinks I should get one of these and wait a few years for a sportscar. I've been resisting a test drive.

I think he already has a winter set on. Being a tire/wheel OCD person, I was concerned that he'd use the 3er set so I was obsessing on the sizes.
