After scrolling through 222 pages on this thread today, I’ve finally settled on a wheel style for my white M3. Love the 20” T-Sportline Arachnid style in Space Gray or Matt Black. Being in Ireland, these are just too expensive to get from the US (about $3000 inc taxes and shipping). RTX have a similar style “Spider” but can’t get these in Europe. I’m left with a similar wheel supplied by “Greendrive” that only comes in 8.5 width all round in Matt black. Anybody got some good pics of their white M3 with any of these rims in 20” please to help me decide.
@Moynihank did you manage to get more pictures and did you finally order your set? I am in the same boat with these. I was looking a the super lightweight SL01 Japan Racing wheels in 19" however these 20" Arachnids are stunning.
 
Trying to find the wheels in the photo, but no luck. Would really appreciate it anyone had an idea here to find them. They look to be machine faced, but I could be wrong. Many thanks for any help in locating them.

Ended up buying a set of Apex EC-7R wheels in brushed clear, couldn't pass up the black Friday 15% discount. Now to find some deals on tires, 5mm spacers to clear the performance hub lip, maybe some tire pressure monitoring sensors if I don't reuse my stock ones, and some blue colored lug nuts.

I think a brushed clear Tesla center caps will look nice with them too.

That is not true. The FF01 are likely no longer available in the sizing that would fit the Model 3. There are multiples of people who ran FF01s before. The P40, which was the monoblock forged wheel that is discontinued was what the FF01 was based on as well.

3mm if using 255 width tires, this is to clear the step in the hub on a Performance Model 3, or 5mm if using 265 width tires.

Got my center caps and decals for the Gram Lights. Full on ready for winter today with first major snowfall of the season and the studded Nokian Hakkas performed nicely.

Sorry for cross posting, but need an answer asap…

Does anyone know - will a square setup of 9.5” 20” BBS CH-R’s (ET40] fit ok a non performance 3 ok? Planning on using 255/35/R20 tyres - anyone done this?

thanks
Jon
With the 40mm offset, the fronts might be too close or rub on the steering knuckle. Your planned setup moves the front tires 0.5" closer to the steering knuckle than a stock setup. See this https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.p...2=35&wheel_size=20&wheel_width=9-5&offset2=40

That is correct. You should be fine with a 5mm spacer though. Which will simultaneously remove your problem with M3P's stepped hub lip.
