We met up with our customer Jose and his E90 M3 to test drive our new 19″ SM-10 wheels on the curvy roads of the Altamont Pass in Livermore, CA. We made a few pit stops along the way to snap photos of this high performance car near the towering wind mills and beautiful hills. We mounted a our new 19×10″ Sm-10 wheels with fresh 275/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The new wheels couldn’t look any better on this chassis, the flush fitment was spot on and the anthracite finish worked very well with the Avery light grey wrap.
