Finally took delivery last week.
Marina Bay Blue/Adelaide Grey.
I already hate these wheels!!! They are so fiddly to get around and clean. It doesn't help that the tyre shop sprayed sticky tyre shine over everything, I used over half a bottle of degreaser trying to get them back to decent looking!!!

Found some black BMW valve caps to put on the black valve stems that came with the HREs.

I like those wheels more than the 809M mine came with. All the current M wheels seem hard to keep clean tho for sure.

If you haven’t changed the pads out, I would suggest doing so with some carbon ceramics as that will keep your wheels clean a lot longer.

Looks sinister! Can I ask where you got your badges from, or are they decal overlays? If you bought them, where there wheel caps available too?

I got them from https://www.americanpandadesign.com/

They'll custom paint what ever color you like on brand new oem roundels. Email them if you want to add carbon, color match your car's paint code, etc. Yes, they sell painted wheel center caps as well.

The quoted response above with the picture showed to be what looked like just a shelf…I scrolled up to see what the original was all about. Damn, that’s the reflection off the paint. Very nice. Cool rounded too!

^^^Ah the joys of having kids seats and the inevitably of the kids marking up the seatbacks with shoe prints day after day. I use to have two of those exact kid seats but the kiddos finally grew out of them.
