Looks awesome. Mind sharing which spring you used and lowered height?

Looks really good man! Love the all-black color change. I was thinking of going to a brushed looked.

12/27 Update: Adaptive suspensions may require a 5mm spacer at the front as the struts are thicker. I cannot confirm this as my car is not equipped with adaptive suspension.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a lover of OEM + fitments when it comes to wheels. I think for a lightly modified vehicle it's usually the way to go and stay classy,IMO. Nothing wrong with aftermarket, I just like OEM quality and feel. Thought I would share my journey in finding this set of wheels.

With that said, I was a little disappointed that the G20 chassis and BMW, in general, switched lug patterns from 5x120 to 5x112. My intention when looking at this platform was to run OEM wheels from the M3/4. Shortly after purchase, I found this out - facepalm.

So I set out to see what I can find. As most of you know, BMW is switching over the 5x112 lug pattern. It started with the 7 series and now has trickled down to the 3 series. This is the same lug pattern as MBZ and Audi, so there are tons of options of wheels out [...]
What was your factory rim specs?
