I may be biased, but you can't easily beat 8,000T forged, ~21lb, 19" wheels as far as weight and strength unless you go with BBS, custom (RAC), or spend $8,000+ on Neez, etc.

Good luck with the wheel hunt though. I'm sure whichever wheels you decide upon will look great.

EDIT: The RS-GTs are 4lbs lighter per corner. 16lbs of rotational mass is like shedding a 112lb passenger at speed using a factor of 7:1, or roughly 1 car length (0.1s) in the 1/4mi. I'll stop selling now :D

Your BBS' are too spendy for me for street wheels man... sorry.
Dude sold the GT3s from under me this morning. Ugh.
I called VMR and ordered CSL reps in 19x9.5 and 19x10... They'll be in by the end of July.
I'll end up buying a set of used stock 18x9s (OEM M3 rears) for a track setup, keep it cheap for those cuz replacements are easily found and they can easily be destroyed at track days if something goes wrong - Tire sizes are plentiful too.

I don't know if you can go BBK on stock 18s if you intend on tracking the car, and the OEM brakes won't cut it unless you go with SS lines, fluid, and race pads (even then they will fade).

EDIT: If you want SS lines, fluid, and race pads, let me know. I have a set NIB.

There are BBKs that fit under 18s (usually 350mm ones).
I have carbotech pads on order, and will be doing ss lines and fluid, but haven't bought either yet. What lines and fluid do you have?

I'll check the brands when I go to my mom's house as they are in her garage (I don't have a garage in the city). The fluid is Motul I believe.

On an M3 you can do better...they don't really tickle my fancy so I say nay.
