I love the M3, I love VMR V710's, and I've always wanted gunmetal because it looks good and my silver wheels are ALWAYS covered in brake dust. Put the three together and I'm not loving it. Is it because I'm not seeing it in person? WWCSi do? I'm nervous before the purchase as all my other wheels were purchased used.

If they are JWL certified, then yes.
Why not Apex's offerings? They have something in a similar style with variations of how concave it goes.
I find black wheels do make a car like the m3 look cheaper though.
You can always rock silver and use a wheel specific wax to deal with the brake dust. A simple hose off will do the trick.
Regardless, a wheel of this design is a bitch to clean, so simply changing to a darker color isn't going to do anything. You need to clean them often anyways to prevent the dust from baking onto it.

definitely not hot, those wheels in OP are played out and that design has aged big time imo. They look like something you'd pick up from Canadian Tire, dat american racing doe.
So many good options for the e92, I'd look elsewhere.

All I can say is at least two members here have spent significant money to own more than one E9x and there's something to that.

Depends on what you like, I tried to link a few pics from e90 post but it's a b!tch so i gave up.
Depends what you want, do you want a lip? stepped lip? concave? Even some 19" BBS LM reps would look great. I also like the stock wheels, but you don't have those. I don't know, lots of great choices out there, just don't do some pos american racing knock offs that people put on FWD turds.

I actually fancy TE37's on the M3...someone is selling 18's new...so tempted LOL
but can't...wifey will kill me. I love them but at their price I'd want them to be perfect (offset, width, colour). Link?
On phone. I saw it on m3post. It's a square setup I believe.

c2k, to each their own I suppose. All I can say is at least two members here have spent significant money to own more than one E9x and there's something to that.
Im just not too crazy about current bmws. There are other cars I'd rather spooge the money on. Just a matter of choice/taste in cars. cars are a lot like women, lots of options, style, shape, fun factor. 
I agree with you on the women comment, however it would just raise an eyebrow to hear that Kaley Cuoco/ Mila Kunis/ whatever just doesn't do it for someone. They're top tier women for a reason. Maybe you're the car version of a chubby chaser, who knows. To each their own.

IIRC he bastardized a real SRT4 and converted it to a 2.0 SX
