Exclamation A little help with choosing wheels

Well, first of all I recently just finally registered on here after snooping around here for about a year. So hello everyone.

Anyway, I need some help choosing some wheels. As of right now I have my 2006 Mazda3 and I need some help choosing wheels for it that will fit both this car and my future car. I need a good set of wheels that will both look good on my Mazda3 (Sunlight Silver Metallic) and then on my E92 M3 (Silverstone II) when I purchase one down the line when my lease ends. As far as specifics on the rims I just want something that will look good either in 19" or 20" (unless 20" is pushing it).

I would really appreciate any help as the pictures I always see of BMWs on here always have the sickest wheels so I want a set too.

I seriously doubt you're going to find a wheel to fit both cars. The offsets and bolt patterns are different for each car. With the M3 being RWD and running a staggered fitment, it's a totally different application than a FWD car like the Mazda3.

Yeah, I guess I'm stupid because I should've figured something like that, but good enough I'll just wait until I have the car that really matters, my M3. Thanks for the quick reply.

Either way though, I was looking at some wheels on tirerack since I don't really know any other good websites where you can see the wheels on your car like tirerack does, and do you know any wheels that would look good on a SII M3 anyway?

BTW - you might want to post on the M3-specific side of the forum. Take a look at this thread for starters (the last picture in particular shows the wheels I hope to get for my M3):

Ah, true, thanks for the help, checking out that thread gave me a better idea of what would look good.

Yep, definitely need to get two sets of wheels, the bolt patterns and offsets will be different. We have a variety of options for the M3 that would work perfectly
