Wheels are looking good!

Are they still a pain in the ass to clean?

I’d say they are slightly better than the 826Ms but not by much. Even with having ceramic coated them prior to mounting, the brake dust from these steel brakes is just an out right pain in the ass regardless.

frozen bronze is the new black
don't @ me.

It looks more like gold (even lighter gold) than bronze to me. In any case, such an improvement compared to the previous black wheels, the car looks so much better now IMHO.

chicagofan00 How do you like the look compared to the previous wheels?

Haha, sort of is. Hopefully I’m more at the beginning or middle of the trend than at the “overplayed” point.

BMW does technically label it as a frozen gold bronze. It does shift a bit depending on the lighting though.

I absolutely love the look compared to the previous 826M wheels. Both in color, style, and size.

I personally like the sticker.

Thanks!

No, the yellow CSL style DRL LEDs are an aftermarket item. Easy to swap in though and you can also get RGBW kits to do any color you’d like.

The 1000M wheels can be added on as a port installed option. However, I’d recommend doing them after taking delivery as that way you’d have the two sets of wheels and you can sell the initial set to recoup come of the cost of the 1000Ms. If you do port install you won’t get the original factory wheels.

Thank you. As for the light I recall having issues with my E46 M3 angel eyes that caused flickering or caused lights to come on the dash. Hope these are trouble free. Thanks again.

So far so good. It’s just a swap of the LED board so it would be pretty easy to swap back to the OEM boards should any problem arise.

They look amazing!

Have you noticed any difference in ride quality? Or handling?

There is a discernible difference but nothing that makes me regret the change over to a 20/21” setup. Feel a bit more of the road imperfections but nothing jarring.

I will never forgive BMW for going to 5x112 and then making some of the best wheels they've ever made
