Lightbulb GOLD LEAF Performance - Aero Discs

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Allow us to introduce ourselves.

We are an EU-based manufacturer specializing in high-end aftermarket carbon fiber components. Our journey began within the Porsche community, where our commitment to aerodynamic efficiency, engineering precision, and refined design earned us strong recognition and trust.

Building on that success, we are excited to expand into the BMW market. We are now bringing our aero disc sets — developed with the same uncompromising standards of performance and craftsmanship — to 5-lug wheels on the G8X platform. Aero discs streamline the airflow passing the wheels, minimizing turbulence and effectively reducing aerodynamic drag.

Our latest aero discs for both OEM and aftermarket wheels feature a completely reimagined mounting system. The design utilizes the central wheel bore while maintaining full and easy access to the lug bolts whenever required. This ensures optimal functionality without sacrificing aerodynamic performance or aesthetics.

For a clean and seamless appearance, all mounting hardware is discreetly concealed beneath a bespoke center cap, as shown in the images below.

We offer a perfectly engineered fitment solution for the original BMW Style 826 M and Style 827 M wheels:

- https://goldleafperformance.com/prod...e-827-m-wheels

For owners running aftermarket 5-lug wheels not yet included in our lineup, we also provide a tailor-made option: https://goldleafperformance.com/prod...r-5-lug-wheels. We can develop a fully customized setup to match virtually any wheel offset, design, and size — delivering precise fitment and the same premium finish our brand is known for.

Lightbulb [ Easy installation ]

Aero discs are easily installed. Base plate comes from the back of the wheel in the center wheel hole, wheel is then mounted back on the car and lastly the aero disc screws to the back base plate.

The process is seen on the following video (this time on F80):

Can you make these compatible with 20” BBS FI-R evos?

Interesting concept, the hidden mounting and center bore setup is a nice touch. Curious if you’ve done any testing on brake cooling or temps with the discs installed on the G8X platform?

We have succeeded in making our aero discs compatible with most of the aftermarket wheels already inquired about.

Please head out to our Tailor made section, where you'll find a dimensions chart. After we get these dimensions we can prepare a setup just for your wheels.

Testing was performed on and off track. While moving, the temperatures of the rear brake pads remained constant with the setup without the aero disc (rear brakes usually don't have an overheating problem). A bit of an increase was noticed after stopping from a quick stint.

For the fronts, we are just developing aero discs with winglets for additional hot air extraction.

What do these actually do for your car, in real world and on the track? Video was cheeky and didn’t really explain. Each disc costs more than the wheel it goes on. Generally curious. I know Manthey has something similar for the GT3 RS but they pair them with a bunch of other aerodynamic enhancements.

Maybe if I were trying to squeeze that last .001 out of a lap time, but I’d never put these on a road car.

Too impractical, and I spend too much money on my wheels to cover them up.

Plus I absolutely hated them in the last F1 Reg’s - and they are gone for the new rules.

Not a fan of these. Even when offered on the GT cars from Porsche.

In my opinion- these are as useless as the front bumper carnards or whatever they are called.

These look very well built but a new trend I hope doesn’t last long. File this under the gaudy grill stripes category for me
