This wheel was spec'ed to work on 3 series, and Z series models. They accept the OEM BMW Roundel Centercaps, part number: 36 13 1 095 361.  Wheels come with APEX centercaps.

These wheels were designed to be used on the E46 M3 in a square setup.  With the proper setup this can accommodate 265/35/18's or 275/35/18's front and rear.  A 10-15mm spacer is recommended for the rear on the E46 M3 and Z3/Z4 M's to correct for offset.

Brake Fitment: These wheels have a minor clearance issue with stoptech and brembo 355mm BBK's.  a 3-5mm spacer is required for spoke clearance.  These can clear stoptech's 380mm BBK without the use of any spacers.  They do not clear Brembo's 380mm kit.

The wheel can be used on other model bmw's as well but proper tire size and suspension setup is needed for fitment.

Most Customers will elect to mount a tire that is wider then what the factory recommends.  Only stock tire sizes can be guaranteed to fit, but certain over sized tires can fit without issue.  Suspension components, camber settings, ride height, and tire size all effect fitment.  Please browse online forums or contact us for fitment advice.

Certain models can run these wheels front and rear without issue.  These wheels are traditionally a low offset rear wheel, but can be used as a more aggressive front fitment.  Some vehicles may require the use of a spacer in the front to clear the strut tube, or in the rear to adjust the offset.  Lowered vehicles or wide tire setups may also require fender rolling.  It is the customer's responsibility to understand what is required for fitment.

Warranty Summary:    2 year Structural warranty. 1 year limited warranty guarantees wheels will be free from defects in materials, workmanship and paint finish under normal and reasonable use.

Better than I thought
I just put a set of these on for street use. Running 235 ft and 265 rr. No problem with fit and I LOVE the concave rear wheel. Just awesome wheels.
