We asked our friend/photographer Daniel (@daniel_booty) if he knew of any super clean cars to shoot with our new forged wheels – boy did he! He brought over his friend Kurt’s (@lsrteg) BMW E46 M3 that was well equipped with a Stoptech 355m BBK, Autopower Race Roll Bar, MCS 2 Way Coilovers and much more (see the mod list at the bottom of the page). We mounted a square setup of our 18×10″ ET25 ARC-8R forged wheels in the new Brushed Clear premium finish. The fitment is spot on!
