Still thinking of doing it, just having to pay to repaint my calipers again is a pain

Just get aftermarket rotors that are drilled/slotted and leave the calipers as is. Would save you a ton of $ and still accomplish the aesthetic look you're after.

I believe your tire aspect ratios are backwards… I think you meant to say 245/35-20 front and 275/30-20 rear.

Thanks everybody for the great feedback!!

And you're right about the tires..WHOOPS this thread took me way too long to make haha

Gorgeous build man!

Looks beautiful

Quadruple VANOS · 09-27-2021, 09:44 PM

Gorgeous car! I just wouldn't want to have to keep those wheels clean. So many little nooks and crannies.

WOW that looks incredible. One of the best looking wheels I have ever seen! Dig the purple

vortechvr6 · 09-27-2021, 10:49 PM

Not a fan of this style of wheels...way too much for me. I'm more of a classic kind of guy. Anyway the color do look great together with the car. Don't bother trying to get the brake discs for the 330/340 M sport brakes. My 330i M sport comes with blue caliper M sport brakes as well. We tried to get the disc only but have to change so many parts to fit to the m sport caliper. The M Performance Red bbk is the only way to go, unless you wanna go with Brembo/AP...too expensive imo though. M Perf BBK is more worth it.

BMWF90M5 · 09-28-2021, 05:45 AM

Aftermarket wheels never look good to me, but these look like good! Almost like M Comp wheels

+1 This car looks so much better than the G80.

+2. Every time I think I have gotten over it, I see something like this and get frustrated at what could have been with the g80. <sigh>

Great build OP.

RowanBuds · 09-28-2021, 05:06 PM

Well done, this is a proper looking successor for the enviable F80. Bravo.

The finishing touches on my car needed to be wheels, and my heart had always been set on the HRE FF10's; it was just a matter of the wheel size. Shoutout to VIBE Motorsports for helping me out with the fitment and ordering the wheels, along with a few forum members that guided me as well. After deciding on 20's, I wanted to run a staggered and not squared set up. HRE recommends only 20x9 all around for us, however some members were running 20x9 et25 and 20x10.5 et35 in the rear. They don't "recommend" it but I will tell you it fits and I'm happy I didn't go with the square set up.

I went the liquid metal over black because with the color of my car and the style of these wheels, black wouldn't look right on my car. Also got Toyo Proxes Plus A/S tires, 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the rear; and I'm dropped on H&R springs for all those wondering, no issues! I think the fitment is great, between the wheel and tires and the drop as well. I know I need more full side shots....

Damn that's gorgeous!

Mind if i ask what exhaust you're running? Looks very MPE like 🤔

Lol I hear you, some sensitive mod banned me from posting on G8X forums for not towing the party line. It really is sad knowing the G80 could have been an incredible swan song for the ICE M3.

I hate to say it but I rarely visit bimmerpost anymore because of it. It's all that dominates the front page anymore. It was going to be my dad car since I now need a back seat but I just can't and it makes me sad. There are very few 4-door manual sports out there.

ssgm1x · 10-08-2021, 02:43 PM

Love the ride. I too have 20" rims on my 340i x drive. I have the Rohana RFX-10 wheels 20x9 front and 20x10 rears mounted on 255x35x20 front and rear 285x30x20, mounted on DWS06 tires with ZERO rubbing. Wheels are flush with fenders using 8mm spacers up front only. What lowering springs are you using and is there any rubbing? Hows the ride with the springs. My car feels great with 20's. Feels just like stock.
