An 18x10" (ET25) wheel is the perfect size for a track wheel set for E46 M3, E90 E92 M3, E82 1M, F80 M3, and F82 M4. Since understeer is built-in thanks to a narrower front tire, adding more rubber in the front is the simplest and most straight-foward way to reduce it. Our TE:AL (Technical Alloy) alloy wheel is constructed as a true forged piece, not "semi-forged" or "flow-forged". A fully forged wheel is stronger and lighter than cast wheels (a semi-forged wheel is still cast). The BimmerWorld racing team has been using forged wheels in multiple types of racing and we're convinced that forged wheels have greater all-around benefits than cast wheels. Because these are our own proprietary wheel, we're able to offer them at roughly half the cost of other forged race wheels in the BMW market!

General Fitment Note: these are sold as a race-fitment only and rubbing with bodywork or on suspension may occur depending on tire choice and suspension settings. We cannot verify fitment with every combination of wheel-tire-suspension. Verification of wheel fitment is the responsibility of the customer. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or concerns. Returns are limited to quality issues only.
Fitment for 2015+ F8X M3/M4: this wheel set uses 18x10" ET25 wheels (+25 offset) which is a great fit on the front but aggressive on the rear. The rear tire is more likely to contact the fender. Although this is a common size and offset in the industry we prefer the 18x10" ET33 with a spacer in the front. With the +33 offset we get a better fit in the rear and no issues in the front with the spacers. But we list the ET25 wheels as another option but with this disclaimer. No spacers are recommended with the fitments listed below.

The BimmerWorld TA16 wheel is 18x10.0" with a ET25 offset and weighs less than 19lbs. The 16 spokes and barrel design leave generous room for big brakes - up to 380mm. These will clear the cast-iron brakes on the M3/M4! BimmerWorld wheels utilize the most advanced wheel design and manufacturing techniques available in the world to make the strongest, lightest wheel possible. Through careful design using CAD and FEA we were able to trim material to make a lighter wheel without sacrificing strength. We also incorporated several unique features normally found on high-end race wheels - knurled bead seat to minimize the wheel spinning inside the tire and a reverse-mount feature that makes it easier for race tires to be mounted from the backside of the wheel.Video courtesy of Sean54 on YouTube.
