Default Just ordered M3 Brushed - have a couple of Qs

Attachment 116051

I just ordered the 20" Modulare M3 Brushed Aluminums (20x8.5f and 20x10r). I will post pics when they get in and when they mount. I will be selling my 18" 450h hybrid chrome wheels after the new wheels get in.

I will see how they look w/o a drop. I'm concerned about voiding out any of the warranty. If I'm convinced that most of the warranty will be in tact and if the car could use a drop, I will probably go with Tanabe NF210s

Also, I do have Qs about wheel locks.
How many would you recommend?
What brands are best?

Thanks in advance.

first off those are some sick looking wheels nice choice. second i would definitly add wheel locks. McGard or Gorilla are two of the top of the line wheel lock companys. they are expensive to some people but well worth it. make sure you get the lock kit with all locks

nice wheels!

the dealership can't void your warranty unless they can prove that the springs cause whatever the problem is.

and definitely get some wheel locks. I'd say 1 per wheel is enough?

Looks nice. What tire brand/size will you be utilitzing.

Yes, it cannot void your warranty unless something in your suspension fails due to the utilization of aftermarket springs. Premature shock wear is something they will most likely not cover.

Thanks guys. I've read and heard a bunch of stuff about voiding the warranty. Thanks for clarifying.
