The M3 Photo Thread

Anyone collected a M3P with grey 20’s yet? If so, do please post a pic.... keen to see what these look like! Pictures or videos are impossible to find online, other than the poor quality images on a transporter that have been doing the rounds

Picking mine up on Thursday, will post a pic!

The robots haven’t done a great job painting my Grey wheels, the backs of the spokes are bare in places!

Oh no , that’s rubbish ... I’ll check mine tomorrow in the daylight

 

[Cherub77]

To be fair the faces are perfect but the backs are awful! If I had paid someone to refurb them and they came back like this I wouldn’t be happy!

Have to say I don't like the grey wheels! I've got an M3P on order due in Jan, hoping I can find someone with silver wheels to swap with or might get them refinished, much prefer the silver!

 

[Cherub77]

I’m the opposite! I’m fitting a set of the silver wheels tomorrow with Winter tyres on, i would swap them for Grey but can’t be arsed with taking the tyres off sorry! The glossy finish on the silver wheels is much better, I’ll see what the Grey looks like after a coating. I think Grey goes well with a White car.

Each to their own I suppose , don’t get me wrong I do like the silver wheels too, but I’m glad mine turned out as black as I prefer them

What led you to taking off the wheel ?

What led you to taking off the wheel ?

Swapping to winter wheels/tyres. Storing the Grey wheels until spring. I would recommend ceramic coating them, the paint feels thin and fragile to me, love the PS4S!

Don’t think ceramic coating will make it any less thin and fragile.
But I did ceramic my winters before I put them on but just to protect from salt.

I’ve heard people mention this ceramic coating before... but must admit I’m not 100% sure what it is or how much ... I’ve read that some people apply it to the whole car and it helps protect it and makes it easier to wash etc etc ...
is it really worth it ?

I’ve just read up on it, looks good, certainly not cheap ...
anyone know of anyone who does a decent job but doesn’t charge the earth ?

New wheels are super easy to do yourself, it will cost about £20 for a little bottle, clean them thoroughly, make sure they are dry, quick wipe over with some panel wipe and apply the coating, it usually comes with the applicator pads and instructions. It provides a sacrificial layer onto the top coat, it will help them look new for longer basically.
