On a different note, I have a change in color on the M3... Thinking of doing Gloss Charcoal instead of Hyper Black... (I want to bring out some contrast of the wheels vs completely blacked out)... Damn...

Modulare!
go with the modulare. i personally know the owner and the quality/craftsmanship of the wheels. you cannot go wrong with having these wheels on your car! in the world of forged 3 pc wheels there are doers and has beens....can you guess which one modulare is? forget about overpriced HRE and underengineered iforged. yes, a bold statement but in this industry its true...

I reckon they could organize a buy for W211 owners if the interest was high enough like they did for the E60 M5.

Ricky,
Although those wheels are decent asthetics wise and really functional, I think alot of the forum members here are going for the 3 pc, reverse mount wheels with some lip. Mercedes is a great platform for the 3 pc wheel industry. Just my 2 cents.

I don't know too much about Modulare, I'm just telling you what happened when I choose another wheel over HRE.

I particularly like the LIP on these wheels (2" on front and 3 1/2" on the rear)... Loving it... I hate waiting though... Damn...

iForged does offer the wheels hubcentric without the centering ring for many years; just request this option.
But hubcentric is hubcentric using the centering ring or not.

underengineered? How?
iForged owner has two engineering degrees including a master degree. Production is managed by an Industrial Engineer.
I doubt if there is any other custom wheel company with more engineering experience or engineers.

Excellent choice picking up the M3s. Everyone and their mom has HREs nowadays and getting some wheels that not too many people have is always a good thing!
