Who's selling their 18" wheels (Style 513M) immediately?

Market research.

If you spec'd the 18s only to take them off, sell them, and replace them with aftermarket wheels, let the community know.

That was my plan, but the dear old spouse saw the ones I was getting ( price tag) and the words "My sister wants to visit us, buying those will get her the invite" were used, and now I'm more than happy with the 19".

I ordered 18s because I did not want 19s. I confirmed that Michelin is making Super Sports 18s for our car.

Right, that is why I created this thread. Unfortunately, so far no one is saying they want to sell theirs. But if history is indicator, many people will.

Should a person in western Canada be parting company with their stock wheels, I'll take them off your hands.

Immediately getting a set of CCW LM-20s as I'll be staying 18" and will probably sell the tires of the stockers and buy a nice set of A/S for the stockers.

So I guess I need to ask if you already have a figure in your head you'd like to sell the 18" for...

Well, I don't know.

I need a "winter" setup. It may be as simple as a swap for A/S tires but, these may pull a premium for the F30 guys.

I mean they are so nice I fear they'll fetch a mint even used. Let's hope a lot more people go for aftermarket wheels.

I'm sure there will be. There is less sidewall with 19s, less give. You do the math.

I wouldn't say durable. A PSS is going to wear the same on a 18 or 19. Now, if you factor is the risk of sidewall damage to size, it's much more likely for a sidewall failure hitting a pothole with an 19 v 18.

And no, none of the tires offered on the M3 will be runflats.

The new 18s look great, and would look awesome on an e90 M3 or a 1M
