Hi all, after your opinions here, what do you think of these rondell deep dish alloys for the M3? I need some new wheels, but Im still undecided about these!

The other option would be some bbs style 5's, but they are twice the price. I dont mind spending the money, but i really cant decide if they are worth the extra!

There only 450ish on ebay for 17". Just search ebay for rondell

Im sort of reluctent to get another set of split rims like the style 5's as they are hard to keep clean so these would be a good solution (and there half the price). Just dont know if they are too modern for the look of the car!

If the rondells could have been got in 4stud fitament in 17's I would have snapped them up for my sport! Savage wheel, sexy dish, absolutly buy them!! Went a different route myself in the end and bought Borbet A's!

You can only get those wheels in 15" in PCD 4x100 by the looks of it, although im sure that would still look pretty nice!

You can get these very similar ones in 16" though, look just as good i rekon; http://www.rondell.co.uk/moreinfo.php?design=36

be careful with your tyre choices with those rims
i ran a set on a misano red evo2
too wide at the front and you get fouling issues on inner arch when turning

they are a nice wheel really well made too

daryls car runs them in 18 inch

i know where thers a set of brand new hartge e30 m3 splits for sale
they are still in box

i just know with those in 17 inch you can foul at front inside with too wider tyre

some people ignore it but it will wear the splash guards and the metal and then tin wurm gets in

i cant remember the tyre size i used
heres some pics
standard suspension

Wow, looks great! I think il use 215/40, i think that should be ok as my car has uprated suspension but its not lowered.

Thanks for the tips mate
