Good looks - kinda similar to the M35/45 Sport models right? What is the width and offset you are considering? You also should make sure that these rims are strong enough for the weight of an M ... to easy to get wheels that can be easily bent!

Also, please also check out the tires too ... 20" tires, with the right load index and speed ratings, can be pretty darn expensive!

Since you asked;I dont like them; they look fragile, and dont really seem to "fit" on the M.

I may change my mind after you install them, and show us pictures, but i would not have selected them from a catalog. I think they will look liek they belong to another car if you put these on.

The price seems good, $700 for 4 seems like a good deal, but I would be really worried about the weight of this car on these wheels as well.

Before you buy these find yourself a picture of a M in approx the same profile as these rims and photo shop them on. I'd do it for you (as my interest is a little peeked on this issue) but I dont have the tools with me right now, I may do it at the office if I find some time to do it.

I may end up being surprised, but these wheels just dont look they belong to this car. I think my dislike stems from too many of those spokes...tk

sort looks like a tuner wheel. Looks more for an old lexus sc300 or an older honda accord. Oh, and they will be a beotch to clean, especially with all those spokes. regardless of what rims you get recommend stagging them 20x8.5F and 20x9.5 rear. The M is a thick bulky car and needs a rim that will compliment that look. Kids put tuner wheels on civics because they are small and thin cars. 300C & Charger owners put juicy rims on there cars because they are bulky cars. just my 2cents

Would this wheel work? I am just starting to get in the market to get an M45 and am looking at wheels.

Nice! I actually considered the exact rim in blk and chrome before I jumped on the FOOSE wagon. Niche is actually under the Foose name, so you are getting quality product. Yes, they'll fit.

$700 for a set of 4......you do the math.

You get what you pay for.....

Try a set of Rays or Works. Rays makes several brands.....all quality stuff.

Welcome to NICO!

Which model year are you looking at? The reason I ask is that the offset is pretty different for the 2006/2007 M35/45 compared to the 2003/2004 M45. Please take a look at the Basic Specs sticky in this forum for the information!

Well these were the wheels i wanted the guy tried to tell me the wheels at the top were the same and they almost look similiar but these are TIS and he tried to sell me some cheap imitation wheels that probably don't look half as good as these but.....these are the ones i want !!!! And here are some pics of them on some cars of similiar size!! I am getting 20's

I see you updated your profile. So, these are for the 03 M. I don't think those TIS rims will look good on this style of car, but its all about what you like and want. I'm a little bias I guess. I'm not into the tuner spoke look, but I can't wait to see what you get. What color is the car?

Dont play yourself out!

I would generally agree with that idea (get what you pay for), but Niche is a good brand of wheels, not some cheap imitation of a wheel. Not sure how/why they are so cheap on that website, but I won't complain.

I read the sticky, but don't quite understand about all the wheel fitting. So from what I understand, this Niche wheel in a 20" would fit well? This site offers a package deal with Toyo Proxes T1 tires, which I have had before and liked them. Just want to make sure a package like that will work well.

Also, am I going to notice a significant difference with the noise and ride going from the stock 19's to this set up? Thanks for the info.

By the way, these wheels would be for an '06.

Havent you guys seen the AutoCouture M45? Those wheels are the same exact style as the ones that were on the original post on this topic. I think they look sick! The AutoCouture Latives, TIS 07s and Asanti 118s(I think thats the model) are all the same style and I think they add alot to this car.

Or BBS, or Fikse... stay away from any wheel with fake rivets/bolts or that looks like it should be on the Munster's hearse.

If the brand isn't raced, it is probably a poseur wheel, like TIS and most others.

Didn't mean to hijack your post, just was showing another option. Still trying to find out if those Niche wheels will fit an '06.

Post by **cremecreme** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 6:07 pm

It's all good Yes those TIS wheels are hot on larger cars.....I think cause that they have such LARGE DSL's Deep Swollen Lips......

Here is another example of whying i am kinda feeeling these wheels but the Lexus went overboard with 22's
