Hey Deathrow,

Are your rims staggered or non-staggered? Been trying to find those same wheels for weeks but everyone I ask only has non-staggered set available. If you know where I can find the staggered version (20x10 front and 20x11 rear), please give me the contact info.... thanks!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

FSETH: Yup, i didn't want to get the spacers just yet only because i wanted to see what it would look like without them and how much space i really have. I'm thinking of 15mm, don't want to overkill it. But this mod will probably happen next year as summer is almost over and i most likely will have to replace these wheels with winters soon.
To shine bumper, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant....gives a nice satin looking shine. Not sure what the detailer used, but this bumper is relatively new so may not have needed as much work :)

JayJay Dee & Aqua Bliss: These wheels are from oemwheelsplus and are staggered, not sure if they still have it, they only had 3 left when i bought it few months ago. I was suprised to find out the OEM 300M style wheels weigh the same as these (don't take my word for it, i may be wrong). However, IMO these wheels look 10x better than the plain ol silver 300M Style wheels (no offense to any who has OEM). This has greyish/blackhish tint to it.

mouivann: PM sent.

barbja: The part itself cost me $375, however i hear the price for these have gone up due to demand. You can call your dealer, check online shops or contact the guy i bought the parts from for pricing (PM me, for his info). Installation cost me $150 but i'm sure you can find someone who will do it for cheaper. These came with instruction (atleast from where i bought), so you could practically install it yourself if you got the tools + lift.


rh71: time permitting, i'll try taking few vids - no promises :). IMO, they look great in motion.

Thanks for the reply... unfortunately oemwheelsplus doesn't have staggered ones in right now (argh). Debating changing my selection to a different wheel but really really love these, esp on black. Guess I'll keep waiting.

Aqua: find out when they would get in new stock. If you can wait, it's worth it. If not, you got plenty of other choices (I like the 239 style wheels also).

:drool: Awesome job D3ath! Love the mods that you have done. Im glad to assist you in any way. Add some spacer to the rear and you will be all set. :D

Contacted them today. They think they will get new stock around middle/end September. I agree and want to wait as well, I really love these wheels more than any others and probably will be just about the easiest aftermarket wheels to clean.

Darip: thx! Yup, spacers will go on next spring :)

Aqua: just shined up the wheels, it indeed is easier to clean! Best part is, even with break dust on it doesn't look that dirty lol.

Good to know D3athr0w - in the last few days I was considering other wheels due to the inavailability of these, but at the last minute I finally found a place locally in Los Angeles that has the staggered set, going to try to pick them up in a week or so, can't wait!

I have found several outfits on ebay that have 300M replicas in gunmetal in a staggered setup. For instance:

20" X6M Staggered Wheels Fits BMW X5 X6 M 3.0 4.4 4.8: eBay Motors (item 180493306975 end time Sep-09-10 11:50:13 PDT)

I had seen these wheels, and a few others on oemwheelsplus, but they're down to just one set (of not so attractive) ones right now. As someone else had stated, I called them up a couple of weeks ago to see if they were going to restock the 300Ms. Said mid-September. I feel more comfortable dealing with them than someone on ebay, so I'm going to wait.

I also like the 227M and 333M styles. The 333M doesn't have a replica yet (it similar to 300M with more spokes), and I'll bet that the 227M never will (sorta complicated) -- they would probably be hard to clean anyway. However, when I photoshop the 227Ms onto my car, I like them better than the 300Ms. $2500 better? No.

Car looks very nice - big change from the original... nice mods...

I have been wondering how much did it cost at the dealer to get the flared wheel arches - part numbers if you can share....

Thanks
