What do you guys think about Style 37 M-Pars for the ZHP?

[webster]

ECS has a pretty decent deal for brand new OEM Alloy Style 37s set of four. They offer both square 18x8 and staggered 18x8/18x9.5 setups. I have always loved the timeless look of these but can't seem to find a picture of them on any E46 3 series...what do you guys think?

I think they're hot. They look similar to the style 71 that BPs ZHP is wearing. Staggered would looked really good but square is a little more functional IMO.

Edit: just saw the offset of 25. I don't think you'll be able to run a staggered setup.

That could be damn good and also quite unique.

right, i was suspicious if an 18x9.5 ET 25 wheel would fit out back. but they list them under the E46 330 section...and they're fitted with a center bore to match the E46 as well...i guess what they're saying is if you buy these be prepared for a fender roll...

ideally i woud like to keep a staggered setup, both for looks as well as handling. i don't mind some understeer, that's how the car was engineered to handle.

Anything is possible when it comes to fitment. It just depends on how willing you are to mess with ride height, camber, tire stretching, etc, etc.

Definitely NOT a direct bolt-on fitment.

[johnrando]

Like the way they look but I'd be concerned given what Eli said - not a direct bolt on.

[cakM3]

Yeah, these wheels look awesome but it would take a lot of work to get them to fit....if at all possible....

[mimalmo]

I think these may be 19" reps but just so everyone gets an idea of how they look...

WANT :drool

[mimalmo]

Notice how the rear fender is completely flared. That takes several hours of metal & paint work to get right.

[Hornung418]

Yeah...It may look awesome, but anything under ET35 is terrible for performance on a non-M.

[webster]

another style they have that i like a lot, and you almost never see anywhere, are the style 72's. these they sell in direct 18x8 ET47 / 18x8.5 ET50 ZHP fitment...

Talk about a nightmare to clean haha

"Aggressive fitment for many models, ECS Tuning does NOT guarantee fitment"

:rofl

First thing I thought... lol.

[bimmeryota]

Those ARE HOTTTT!!! I've been keeping an eye out for M-pars for the E36 but I'm happy to see they look great on an e46 too...

[webster]

also really digging these Forgestar F14s...anyone have any experience with that brand? they are super light and supposedly very strong.

[danewilson77]

I've always wanted to try a set of those...

[webster]

haha as you can see i'm tossing ideas around, i decided i have a budget of ~$1,500 for wheels. prob won't be for a few months, but i want to make sure i find the perfect set.

[e3thekid]

Wow, those would look great on a ZHP. ET 25 is just hard werk.

[apridge]

Those parallels look amazing. They originally came on the e38 and the e39 M-sport. I'd be interested to see if you could get them to fit. If so, I'd be next in line to buy a set. Keep us posted on what you decide!
