Build Journal: A special series

The wheels BMW M should have built.

With the release of the E92 M3 GTS, BMW M introduced what is arguably the greatest wheel design ever produced: the M359.

It featured 0.5" widened front and rear widths over standard 219M and 220M to accommodate the GTS uprated tire sizes of 255mm front and 285mm rear.

Wider, but not wide enough. We needed more with less. We wanted wider and lighter.

In this Special Series, I document the development, unboxing, fitment experiments and final specs.

Enjoy,
- Matt / @m3_epoustouflant
