What do you guys think doing replica's of the 08 M3 wheels? I have been toying around with a bunch of different idea's for wheels right now but just not sure which route to go. However wondering if I should just hold off till next spring as in Chicago I probably only will have about 3 months of use left vs getting them in April/may of 09 and having 6 months use. Plus I still need to get some winter tires in November/December. Who knows by then maybe one of you gent's will be looking to get rid of some nice forged wheels and I may be the lucky purchaser.

Thanks genetals for the picture.. I think I am going to just powder coat my 124's for the time being till next spring. I am thinking a gunmetal, hyper black, or anthracite finish. What do you guy's think? Should cost me around a little over $500 to remove tires powder coat and remount tires. I feel it will give my car a different look in the mean time till I get some new wheels, plus I will have a nice winter setup.
