New Wheels

Travishksar · 03-03-2018, 11:21 PM

This is going to be my first thread in F80 since I got my brand new 15' M4. I owned a E92 335xi previously in Boston, and my first expression was no comparison between the two, period. Sometimes I missed the AWD but this only happens once in a while usually during wet seasons. Alright, no more bullshit about me.

Here comes the new foot

. I think the rear may be sitting too low. Please let me know your thought!! I am thinking about switching to Ohlins (current setup: on KW v3 on the highest setting). Any comments will be appreciated.

Looks good. I also want the CS wheelset... Maybe next Christmas.

FatRear08 · 03-04-2018, 06:38 AM

I think you’re sitting nice and the rake looks good. Wheels look great too!

vladberca · 03-04-2018, 08:34 AM

The rear sits perfect 👍

socal619 · 03-04-2018, 10:15 AM

Perfect stance.. front/rear setup

uniqueMR · 03-04-2018, 10:50 AM

Looking beautiful

GOLFFRR · 03-04-2018, 11:13 AM

looks awesome! I wouldn't mind a set of those either!!

SirHoward · 03-04-2018, 06:14 PM

Perfect all around!

cotmfk · 03-05-2018, 08:04 AM

Looking good! Did you get a chance to measure the weights of the wheels before mounting?

Travishksar · 03-05-2018, 10:52 AM

huh.. looks like I am the only one thinking the rear sits a bit too low

maniz · 03-05-2018, 01:26 PM

20R/19F, correct? Black is making it hard to tell on my phone's screen.

Looks good.

LOW4LYF · 03-05-2018, 01:47 PM

zamboni · 03-05-2018, 11:26 PM

Aggressive way low.

Sales@wheelsdc.com · 03-06-2018, 12:28 AM

Beautiful car

jxc888 · 04-05-2018, 05:46 AM

Hm?!

hz_diesel · 04-05-2018, 06:12 AM

I love those wheels. I also had a e92 335ix in Boston and moved to a 2015 F80 last year. I miss the awd but its like a different animal. I was stage 2 with hybrid turbos.

I wanted new wheels but decided to keep the 437m and added a bronze hue to it

No, you are not.

While it looks great, the fact that you may have to change how you drive the car on the road, makes me not like it.

Great job! The true art of modding is knowing when to stop.

chris719 · 04-06-2018, 01:41 AM

It's a little low for me. I like to see the wheels as concentric as possible in the arches. That is the main problem with aftermarket lowering. Yours aren't too bad but I think would look better with slightly more gap.
