Nice. They look great.
My wife drives same car. I have an e46 M3, so we seem to have similar tastes.
Am I right that these cars require 40mm offset, 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.5 centerbore?
I don't see that combo at http://www.velocitymotoring.com/links/wheels_vb3.htm
What is your impression regarding the quality of the wheels? Do they seem balanced? Have you had them long enough to evaluate the durability of the finish?

The offset is dependent on the width of the wheel as well. so for 8.5 width... 40 offset was what I wanted... and yes. XiT require high offsets. And yes.. that is the correct bolt pattern and center bore.
These wheels are very nice. The fit and finish seem quite good. No vibration. I was originally going to replace my 19" M3 wheels with these but decided the 535xit 18" wheels with runflats just annoyed me too much and bumped up higher on my list of things to buy
See my first post with the link to the dealer I purchased them from... Not sure why you were not able to find them... they definitely have this fitment or they wouldn't be on my car!
