Alternative wheels

[MisterCorn]

Do any of you guys run a second set of wheels for the winter or for track days? If so do you run genuine CSL wheels or are there some decent aftermarket ones? I would intend to run the car year round, and whilst cup tyres would be great for the summer, I'm not sure I would fancy them in the winter, so I'm looking to see what the options are.

I run another set of genuine wheels, so cups on one set and road on another :thumbs:

2 sets of csl rims. oem silver and bad boy black. cups on both...it's the law.

Shimmy/billy/adem/barry and a multitude of other jedi TD vets have run every combination known to the racing world.

They will be along in a bit to share all.

Last Spa outing Shimmy was running an 18" square set up. they look the biz.

Same as him; Silver with super-sports, set of cups on the other and a set of Black BBS CH's with cups for posing, as I've never set foot on a track :hahaha:

[MisterCorn]

Thanks guys. On the lookout for a set of spare wheels now. I will probably run Michelin Supersports on them. I have those on my current M3 and they seem pretty good.

Summer
19" CSL rims usually with MPSS on, now MPSC (from this week...)

Winter
18" OEM M3 Alloys with Winter tyres on. But they barely fit over the AP's, weights are an issue.

But....my car very so rarely gets driven now between Nov - March, so might sell the winter wheels/tyres.

Keep hearing people talk about square setups. I'm new to M3 land, can someone explain what this is?

Empty pit lane for Spa Shim?

Mich decals are ace. Shame they only last for one trip.

[Chappers]

Yeah I love my Michelin decals, you have to get really close to see it says LingLong underneath!

:smt055 Winning!

I know some people are running Apex wheels, anybody got pictures?

[outnumbered]

If you don't mind your car looking a bit crap for the winter months, then a set of original E46 M3 18s can be a cheap alternative.

[LeinsCSL]

Said I'd give these a go this year for a change (LMs). Need to sort out some spacers and bolts now
