New wheels for the 330i

Mounted some new wheels and tires of the Wife's 330 I sport.

Went a different route with some darker wheels this time (third set of wheels do to curbing). They're 18x8 Enkei EK-M3's mounted on a set of 235/40/18 Nitto Neo Gens.

Mesh type wheels are really the best looking (to me) wheels for the E46 BMW. How much are those and where did you buy them?

Thanks for the nice comments !

I bought the wheels and tires from "Discount tire". Shopped around and their price on the wheels was better than the best price I could find on line by $30.00 per ("1010 tires") I looked at a bunch of rims for her car and wanted to find a rim that had little to no rim because the Wife had curb the crap out of the OEM rims and then really did a number on the Konig Imagines that replaced the OEM rims three years ago ! I decided to go with the Gun metal color rather than the silver (the other option with these wheels) to change up the look of her car. They did just that ! LOL ! I wasn't sure about the color at first ( a little darker than I thought they would be) but after a couple of day's now, I think I made the right choice ! It's always a crap shoot buying rims sight unseen ! I new exactly what tires I wanted to put on the car (Nitto Neo Gens) after putting on a set a couple of years ago on my 16 inch wheels ! Awesome tires !
