ZCP Wheels Style 359

Hello,

I'm going to buy Style 359 wheels for my M3 e92. I have these questions:

1) are they the same in front and rear?

2) I have Interlagos Blau color and the wheels are by default silver which is not a good fit, I would like to have them in "metal gun" color (aka light grey), what is the recommended method of painting them? Powder coating?

3) What tires do you recommend? I don't track the car, just usual spirited driving. I usually read that some Michelin are good.

Can you help please? Thank you so much!

Here's a thread dedicated for the zcp wheel.

Thanks but that's a photo gallery with no info.

1) staggered, 19X9 front 19x10 rear ET 31 & 25 respectively

2) powder coating is a good way to refinish, but make sure they mask critical points like the hub interface and center bore.

3) Just my take: favorite all season tires for the money= Conti DWS 06+
I have some experience with Michelin PS AS3 on other platforms and they are great. Favorite summer tires= Michelin PS 4S a slightly cheaper alternative that people have been recommending is the Continental Extreme Contact Sport.

IMO 359's look best with the factory finish silver and it looks best on Interlagos. If you are going to go with gunmetal maybe choose a different rim. If you are putting on summers I would go for the Michelin PS4's and for all seasons go with the Conti DWS as mentioned above. Lastly, 359's look best with a mild drop since they came only on the ZCP package which included 10mm lowered suspension. I've seen people throw these on stock e93's (I made the mistake myself) and e92's and something looks a little off due to the higher suspension.

Thanks! Maybe I will let them original silver. The car has K&N springs so it is already slightly lowered.

Black wheels on Interlagos looks really good too!

I dont know I thought my old IB E90 looked ok I guess with factory silver 359's

My problem with black wheels is that I can not see them But I agree looks good and in my opinion they look more modern than silver.

Good choice. OEM silver is the best, and they will look terrific with your Interlagos Blue M3.

All guidance gold worth since search feature disappeared...

Just for the sake of completeness (silver version):

- 19X9 (ET 31): BMW part number 36112284055

- 19x10 (ET 25): BMW part number 36112284060

I'd recommend running the GTS tire size for a more meaty look. It's pretty difficult to get PS4s in the rear GTS size so I've been running the extremecontacts. No complaints at all

359 Black here. PS4 255/35 front and 275/35 rear.

Powder coated "porsche silver", that's Lemans blue.

I'm running the conti dws+ all seasons right now (not pictured) and really like them so far, spirited road driving from 95F to 25F and heavy rain. Haven't seen snow or ice yet.

Let me know if you need me to dig up the powder coat supplier. It's a major brand but I'm forgetting at the moment

I have already ordered the wheels. Bye bye 2000 EUR. And I'm not going to paint them I'm going to keep them original silver. As for the tires I will go for Michelin PS 4S. Thanks everyone again.

Hello, just to be super sure because the shop asked me if they can send me the wheels as they do not match my VIN (I have pre-LCI). I told them yes. Are there any problems I can face as I'm having pre-LCI car? With fitment or TPMS (actually I don't know how TPMS works, in my non-M E91 I have pressure monitor but there is nothing in the wheels, btw this is my car https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/partgrp?id=WD91-EUR-05-2008-E92-BMW-M3 I would say that there is nothing in the wheels as well) or any other problems? Thanks!

Don't worry about TPMS if your country doesn't mandate the use of it. You probably use FTM anyway.

Thanks and no problem with fitment as well, right? The wheels will fit my car, right? Sorry about a stupid question but since the shop asked me I'm unsure and as it is about 2000 EUR I would like to be 100% sure.
