I'm looking for a lot of pictures of 18" BBS RGR wheels on the E46 M3. I've seen plenty of 19" online and in person.

Please specify what width, offset, tire sizing, and suspension is being used. I believe the common 18" size is 18x8.5 et38 front, 18x10 et25 rear.

Thanks!!!

for example:


problem is I don't know what size these are, suspension (looks stock), tires, etc.

Are you from the Philippines? That looks like a Starex van on your car's reflection.

Here's some from my 1st E46 M3 Coupe, which I no longer have.

Stock springs, Koni dampers (so no change from stock ride height).
BBS RGRs in Silver. Front: 18 x 8.5 ET38. Rear: 18 x 10 ET25.
The tires are the original ContiSportContact in OE sizes. Front: 225/45/18. Rear: 255/40/18.

my favorite wheels

They're just hard to come by, and when they do pop up they are not cheap. I see many more 19" than 18" for sale, I wonder what the sell ratio was?

The lowest price I've seen on used 18" RGR's (with some curbage I might add) was around $2k.

I had saved up some coin, but just sprung for some 8" Fuchs for my old 911 - so I'm back to zero again!

Thank You! This is exactly what I was looking for.

ImolarotII, that's not my car - just one I found on google images.

I have always been looking for these wheels used, but as mentioned it's hard to come by. One set I found for $1800+shipping, but they were painted black. Another set for $2300 had some minor rash and were 9.5" rears. Another set for $2500 had the wrong front offset and minor rash.

I can't really decide what looks better - the 19's sure are nice, but they can look out of proportion on some cars, while the 18's do look a bit small but still good. From a performance and cost standpoint, 18's are the way to go. It's a tough decision.

Thanks again and more pics are welcome

I have a set I am trying to sell, PM if interested.

To each their own however I have always thought those wheels are beyond hideous. Have you considered the TR Motorsport MT1?

Yes, I have considered those. I like the design of the RGRs better, and they're forged which is a plus. The MT1's sure are cheap considering how lightweight they are.

Why do you think they're hideous?

Its just an opinion. You should buy the wheels you like. I just don't think they are good looking wheels at all, especially for the price.
