Sticking with the OEM forged 19s as the suspension is optimized for them. Some people like 18s, some like 19s and some like aftermarket HRE 20s, I get it.

Now, if someone puts 21s on an M3 their priorities are very different to mine and if someone puts 22s on an M3 they're *****.

I normally like to change my wheels (I'm a big fan of Morr products) but I really like to stock 19" wheels. I will likely not get another set for this car... however, I reserve the right to change my mind at any time

Nice bringing "mags" back, haven't heard that in a while. Not many wheels are Mg anymore...reminder to see if BBS E88 w/magnesium centers fit this car.

Waiting for APEX to figure out fitment. Will stay with 19", but maybe a smidge wider (9.5 in front and 10.5 in rear). Their wheels are light, race proven, and not ridiculously expensive.

Anything larger than 20's is going to look stupid on this car.

Personally, I think the 19" is perfect on this car. Even 20" looks too big for the arches. Just my opinion. Big doesn't always equal nicer. There is a limit and I agree that 19" and maybe 20" is the max for this car.

I plan on going with a staggered set of Forgestar F14's. Not sure which offsets yet, but going with 19x10 front and 19x12 rear.
