Alex your brother's car was an example to everyone. People still talk about how perfect it was on the forums. Fred will always be remembered!

Bingo! The mesh ZCPs really set off the brakes, can't say the same for the M wheels. As much as I'd want to, I doubt I'd ever ZCP out my car and get both the wheels and brakes. I'm hooked on how gorgeous the M wheels look in motion compared to the ZCPs






Both are 19x8" (F) 19x9.5" (R). The ZCP's (Comp pkg) weigh about 2lbs less even though they're cast.


The ZCP's are rarer on the street because there aren't that many M3 ZCP's out there, but on the forums they're the most common wheel. Especially the replicas on the regular 3-series.

The M double spoke actually cost $100+ more per wheel than the ZCP's. But on eBay they go for $1300-1500 vs $2000+ for the ZCP's, if you can find them. You can get the ZCP's from the dealer for $1680, plus the tires. So it would set me back a grand to switch. Pretty much the cost of all 4 ZCP rotors.

 

damn that's such a bad a$$ picture!!!! would you happen to have that pic in high resolution??

thanks for the info by the way!

im seriously debating if I should get the M now or wait a couple more months.

and when I do, I'll be asking you more questions if you don't mind?

thanks again!

 

Here you go, keep clicking on the images until you get the hi-res. You can go up and exit that gallery and browse the other folders, there's hundreds of nice pics. Ask all you want, how else are you going to learn

 

Are those prices per set or per wheel?

 

i think she was saying per set....but $1680 for a set of rims from the dealer seems very low.....

 

cereally! especially from bmw...arnt the oem coupe 19's close to $2500

 

i know the OEM 18s were $800/each back before the 05s came out...havent checked or seen prices lately

 

Seems that knock offs go for $899.

double spoke here

 

def competition...........the M dub spokec are soooooooo common and over played

 

Always appreciated the look of the M double spoke but it's just my opinion.

 

$1680 plus shipping is the biggest hookup I've been able to find. At my neighborhood BMW dealer, the ZCP's are $2410 and the M Double spoke $3020 for a set.

Yeah, replicas are horribly cheap and that's why literally every other 3-series on the forums has them. The reps have a different spoke shape even if they look the same at first sight.. so they're a no-no for me.

I love both just the same, the M wheels have always been pimp and the ZCP's are a classic wheel made by BBS. If they were just a few lbs lighter or something, I'd probably get them as my double spokes are pretty heavy. I didn't expect the ZCP's to win by that much more though

 

Comp 19's gets my vote...
