My Ride: 545 modded the F out
Looks sharp 
I dont know if it's just me, but I really liked your old OEM wheels. If I could find them in 19's in an M6 offset I would swoop.
Looks great tho!

Not really an issue quality wise, just i had VMRs and they were very heavy and Im just not a fan of cast wheels anymore, especially on the M cars.
Ive always thought if you were getting an M series, some custom forged wheels was the only way to go since the car you are putting the wheels on should have just as nice of wheels to reflect how nice the car is.
ADV.1 wheels is a great example of that but to be fair they do cost 4k. If you can afford an M then you can afford those types of wheels IMHO

Besides, a single HRE Monoblok P40 costs $1300...before tires, tpms, and balancing...I would end up paying about $7,000 for a set with wheels and everything...Forged wheels are not excluded from bending, and if one of my VMR bends, I am down like $300, instead of $1400...

Well, I can't afford the M, my Dad can though. And since I pay for my mods, I didn't want to spend more than I could get for my OEM 18's wheels.
I'm actually going to make a profit with this deal, I should be able to sell my OEM wheels for 1800....also the VMR wheels are heavy, but the OEM wheels are actually cast also and don't weigh any less...

you got what you can afford.. people can like or dislike, whatever, but the point is your father HAS a Bentley and while he COULD afford to buy you whatever you want, he doesnt. for that i give respect.. So while yes some forged rims would be wwonderful on an M car, any M for that matter.. the fact that you are so young, you pay for this all yourself while going to school and your selling your oem's and making a profit.. i think your doing a real good job.. 
your M3 looks great dude !!!!!
p.s you dont have to explain to anyone
editing-damm sometimes i feel such negativity coming out of peoples mouths.. gosh
