I bought the replica M3 style alloy wheels and snows for my 00 M roadster last year. Wheels require centering rings (of which 2 broke when I took them off in the Spring - $21 just re-ordered a set)and weathered the Cdn winter OK but not as great as the previous set of BBS rims I had on my 2.8 Z3. The wheels are showing small pitting in the aluminum from the salt and will likely get worse after this winter. They still look fine though and are well balanced.
