Picture required: M3 on 16" rims

Guest · Post Mon Feb 14, 2005 11:24 am

Has anyone got a picture of an M3 on 16 rims, ideally BBS, ideally BBS RS?

I wanted 17", but I've been offered some 16" ones and want to see what they'll look like.

Thanks.

Looks like that M3 cab has the 16" BBS on but the rest are 17"+ I think.
Man that black M3 looks the dogs

Yeah, I think you're right. The red M3 cab looks like its sporting 16's.

Are they big enough or should I wait for 17's?

Thanks for the pics- its made me just that little bit more excited about picking the car up tomorrow night!!

Wishful thinking indeed! I've got a load of other stuff that need sorting first, so wheels will be staying for a while!
I'm even considering refurbing them and polishing the rims.

They are like hens teeth mind these 16" bbs!

Here's mine, on 16s. It's been lowered, and the fronts have spacers on.

Not a great pic, but it gives the general idea.

god dammit i command thee to give me ure 16in!!!!
they would look the nuts on my red iS under standard arches on m3 running gear!!

i may have to settle for 15in initially and keep my eye out for the 16s- i dont see why they are so rare, as all m3s after a certain date had them as standard didnt they??

The only reason I can think of is because owners are hanging onto them to put the car back to original.
