2011 BMW M3 with Forgestar Wheels and KW Suspension from GMP Performance

This M3 was on the hunt for an adjustable suspension upgrade and while it was there, the ever popular style boost that is wheels. Choosing a KW kit and some Forgestar forged wheels mated with a Michelin favorite, the Pilot Super Sport, this beauty of a BMW looks stunning from any angle.

Haha, I was wondering how long it'd take before that was asked. My wild guess is 19x10 around +25mm?

Upon seeing these wheels in person a few weeks ago I ordered a set myself. Pictures do no justice to how the concave look really is. They are also much more sparkly in person and not matte looking as in pictures.
Looks great congrats.

Thanks!! Agreed, the concavity stands out much more in person, the pics just can't seem to capture it completely. Can't wait to see yours!

So, I ordered 275/30/19 Hankook V12s on mine, as I had originally was going 10" in front. Forgestar had discrepancies with their 10" barrels and I chose to do 9.5" fronts. Totally forgot to change the tires to 265/30.

Think that'll be too much tire in the front?

Also...gorgeous car! This should pretty much be my setup in a few weeks.

All depends on what offset you're running in the front. 275/30 PSS was my initial first choice and would have fit great, but they were on a 2+ month wait time when I was looking for them, so settled for the 265s.

Can you elaborate on what you meant by "Forgestar had discrepancies with their 10" barrels."

I have the same setup. Rears rub slightly when i'm driving over humps ONLY. I'm one finger gap from tire to fender in the rear! I might adjust the camber to -2 and see if it helps OR worse comes to worst i'll trim the fender liner.

Cool Pictures, thanks a lot for sharing!

On this picture



How much lower did you have the car? Was it as low as the KW Kit goes? Would have assumed so from the install pictures, but appreciate if you could advise

A few days ago, after seeing these wheels in action, I purchased a set for myself. Pictures cannot capture the true beauty of the concave effect. Additionally, they appear much more dazzling and less matt in real than they do in photographs.
Congratulations! It looks wonderful.
Thenks for sharing good information.
