You already have shitty M3 wheels, the 1995 M3 17x7.5" Lux Contours which you have are pretty much bottom of the barrel.
Just spend yo’ loot on some Blizzak WS-50s and have em switched.

You should really replace the underpanels for the front bumper also, losing alot of cooling efficiency there brah.

don’t get me wrong, the contours do look great, especially in darker colors IMO. But they’re not a sought after, rare, or delicate wheel by any means.
they’ll take anything you can throw at them.
you can try to track down all the oem panels that bolt to the underside of the bumper/radiator support to direct airflow through the rad, or you can just buy one of these and never worry about it/them falling off again:
