BMW M3 Forged Wheels

PB 104 on BMW M3, Satin Black Barrel, Polished Light Bronze Centre, 20"/21"

Few cars carry as much generational weight as the BMW M3, and few wheel briefs are as varied. That's why we treat the M3 as a multi-generation platform rather than a single fitment.

Our gallery anchors the current car: a PB 104 in 2-piece, satin black barrel with a polished bronze centre, on a G80. But we build across the lineage, G80, F80, E92, E46, even E36, and we take on the variant briefs that matter to people who know these cars: Competition, CS, and the CSL, where the original 19" forged wheel sets a high bar that any replacement has to respect.

Whether you search M3 wheels or BMW M3 wheels, the engineering principle holds: a forged set specified for your generation's brakes, offset and proportions. A wheel that suits an E46 would look wrong on a G80, and we size and design accordingly rather than applying one template across forty years of the car.

Every set is engineered in the UK and made to order, forged, finished and inspected for your exact M3, whether it's a current-gen daily, a track build or a classic-era restoration.

If you're planning wheels for an M3, tell us the generation and the direction, and we'll work from there.

By size

Sizing guide

No car in our range spans as many generations as the M3, and for the M3 the wheel decision is fundamentally generational. The right diameter and proportion for an E46 would look wrong on a G80, so rather than stretch one fitment across forty years of the car, we spec to your generation. Every set is forged to order.

G80 (2021-present), the current car. Our gallery PB 104 is a 2-piece built for a G80, satin black barrel with a polished bronze centre, staggered 20"/21". That staggered setup is the modern sweet spot, and we engineer to clear the Competition brake package, steel or carbon ceramic.

F80 (2014-2018). The F80 typically runs a 19"/20" staggered fitment, slightly smaller than the G80 to suit its proportions.

E92 (2007-2013), the V8 era. Nineteen inches is the natural fit, with 18" for track-focused builds where tyre choice and unsprung mass matter more than stance.

E46 (2000-2006), the classic. Eighteen or nineteen inches, no larger, the E46's proportions don't carry a big wheel, and the most successful builds respect that. The CSL is a special case: its factory 19" forged wheel sets a high bar, so a replacement has to honour that geometry rather than simply enlarge it. We take on CS, CSL and Competition variants as considered commissions.

E36 (1992-1999), heritage. Seventeen or eighteen inches, treated as a restoration-aware brief.

Because we forge to order. Whether you search "M3 wheels" or "BMW M3 wheels", the starting question is always the generation, it determines proportion, offset and the right diameter before finish even enters the conversation. Tell us your chassis and the direction you want, and we'll work through the spec together, whether it's a current-gen daily, a track build or a classic-era restoration.

Builds we've made

Frequently asked

Do you make wheels for the E46 M3, or only the current G80?

Both, and everything in between. The M3 has more generation-specific demand than almost any vehicle we build for, E46, E92, F80 and G80 all carry distinct buyer communities with distinct fitment requirements. The E46 in particular has a strong UK following, and we support CS, CSL and Competition variants as bespoke commissions. Tell us your generation at consultation and we'll spec accordingly.

I have an E46 M3 CSL, what sizes work?

The CSL is a special case. The factory wheel is a 19" forged item already, so the bar is high, anything larger or visually softer than the original looks wrong on the car. Our approach for CSL builds is to keep the 19" diameter and design something that respects the CSL geometry (centre treatment, spoke count, dish depth) while delivering modern engineering. Tell us your direction at consultation, we can match the original geometry tightly or interpret it more loosely depending on your taste.

Will these clear the M3 Competition brakes?

Yes. The G80 Competition brake package (steel and carbon ceramic options) is one we've validated for, the PB 104 build in our gallery is fitted to a G80 M3 with the OEM-spec brake setup. For F80 Competition, E92 Competition, or any aftermarket brake upgrade (Stoptech, Brembo BBK, AP Racing), send the spec at consultation and we'll validate clearance before forging.

What's the difference between a 2-piece and a 3-piece forged wheel for the M3?

Both are forged constructions, but the build differs. A 2-piece wheel has a forged centre bolted to a forged outer barrel, gives you finish flexibility (centre and barrel can be different colours or treatments) at moderate weight. A 3-piece wheel adds an inner barrel half, which gives you more dish depth and adjustment range on offset but adds weight. For most M3 fitments we'd default to 2-piece for road and track use, 3-piece for show or stance-focused builds where deeper lip is the point. The PB 104 in our gallery is 2-piece.

My M3 is a track car, what's the right forged spec?

For track use, weight matters more than show. We'd recommend monoblock construction (the strongest forged format, lightest possible for the strength), 18" or 19" diameter (depending on tyre and brake choice, most M3 track tyres are sized for 18"), and a simple high-strength finish (powder coat over a satin or matte base, gloss finishes show track damage faster). Avoid heavy 3-piece constructions and decorative finishes for track-focused builds.

Where are PB Forged wheels manufactured?

Every PB Forged wheel is engineered in the UK, design, fitment validation, structural analysis and quality specification all happen in-house. The forging itself is routed to the partner facility best suited to the specific project: UK, US, or Taiwan, depending on construction complexity, finish requirements, and the tolerances the build demands. The routing decision is part of the engineering brief, each commission goes to the manufacturer that will deliver the best wheel for that build, not a default supply chain.

How long is the lead time?

Our wheels are made to order, with a typical lead time of 6 to 8 weeks from order confirmation to delivery. This isn't pulled-from-stock, each set is forged, finished and inspected specifically for your car. The window covers engineering review (we validate fitment for your exact chassis and brake setup), forging, finishing in your chosen specification, and final UK quality control before despatch. If you have a fixed deadline (car show, event, build deadline), tell us at the consultation stage and we'll confirm whether the window can compress.

Not the wheel you're looking for?

The BMW M3 builds above are the wheels we've documented for this vehicle. Every wheel in our forged range is commissionable for your BMW M3, bring us a brief and we'll engineer the rest.
