Love the rims, drop and cosmetics done. Pics are outstanding and I'm sure the car looks better in person
The pic of the model + car =

Car looks pretty nice but the wheels look like cheap replicas to me. The rest of the car is great!

Thank you very much guys for your honest opinions. I appreciate that.

To make me understand, please let me know, replicas of what? If you say replica, you mean exact the same copy of an existing design of another wheel brand. These wheels are not existing in that form from another company. Of course there are other companies offering concave 5 spoke wheels but then all 5 spoke concave wheels are replicas of some wheel brand, right?

Thank you!

It's funny. I like how those wheels look (the aftermarket ones he has) in isolation, sitting on the ground, and I can appreciate high quality wheels, but to me, they just don't look right on the car. To me, they would be better suited on an American muscle car, like a mustang or a charger.

Ah well.

Regardless, OP, good work on your car!

I don't mean any specific wheel, more like they are very square everywhere if you know what I mean. The edges would need some more work to look more expensive. It is hard to explain and is just a personal opinion.

I know these are not cheap replicas, but there are a lot of affordable flow formed wheels these days that look great (HRE, MORR, Forgestar, Vorsteiner etc) that are in a nice price range but still has that "forged wheel look" if you know what I mean.

The pictures that don't have close ups of the wheels are awesome, probably one of the best looking M's on here as I love five spoke wheels. So don't read too much into my opinion!

And also the photos are great, especially this one.

Thank you so much. Now i understand.

What you probabily don't know is, that specially in Austria and Germany it is illegal to mount wheels on your car that are not TÜV certified. You are pulled to the side by the police and they take your licence plates.

All those wheel brands you mentioned are not TÜV certified. If they would pass TÜV or not i do not know, anyway, these wheels are quality made in order to pass these testing procedure and get TÜV certification. That is why i can tell you that they are quality made. About the look, it is a matter of taste and you explained in a nice way. If i would live in the USA maybe i would also go for a fogred wheel...

Once you lower the M4 it goes from a 9 to a 10+++ Its amazing how much better it looks, my goodness. I'm still on the fence on which version to get. Though I know if I opt for the M4 coils will be the first thing done. Beautiful.

The wheels, personally not my favorite for the M, I wasn't a fan on the E92 either but its tastefully done. I think it just makes it look more like a "show car", that's only my opinion though.

Beautiful car though all around. I love AW, awesome photos too.

Cheers.

I love the car. I really really do. I just wonder how that front lip would look without the upper carbon parts. I love the lip, but would like to see more of that mineral white bumper. Do I make any sense?

Something like this one. This is way before the car even came out but look at the front lip. Is it available like this?

Great looking ride brother. I agree with others that there a 5 spoke concave wheels that deff look of better quality, but that deff doesn't take away from the fact that ur car looks amazing. I would however put a little more meat on those tires

Nice sequence of photos. My favorite one is the first where the owner is hugging the car.
