Should have these back from the shop and mounted up on the car by the end of today.

I'll be sure to come back and post pics of the setup once they're on.

Just waiting for the shop to give me the call! I'm beyond excited to see how it looks.

Are these just bare metal with clear coat? Looks pretty good.

Thanks, these were stripped to bare metal, then powdercoated in Super Chrome Plus with a layer of clear coat over it.

G8x wheels look so much better in all-silver

I am very glad BMW has listened to me.

Wow this looks great, looking forward to seeing the set on the car. I am contemplating several ideas for my Alpina wheels

[static_void]

As promised.

Yeah the one posted last night was pretty weak given the lighting lol. I'll take more today when the sun is up. I took a short video yesterday as well:

Some more pics. Loving this look! Can't get enough of it.

[Art__Vandelay]

Absolutely, looks so much better, just stunning!

Make sure to also post pics in the general picture section, everybody should see how great the silver 826Ms look. I hope the black wheel trend will end soon.

I
Disagree with the cleaning assesssment. They are far easier to clean than Porsche RS Spyder wheels.

I am looking forward to seeing the all silver 825's in person. But while I hate black wheels, I don't dislike the
825 bicolors. The fact that the bare sections are brighter than the 826's makes for a nice pop. Contrast is good.

I’ll be doing this shortly with my 827M. I don’t like the stock black (blob like) color nor gold on a Toronto Red M3. I will be going with polished aluminum matte clear. Here’s the black blobs on the car rn.

The silvers on a velvet orchid vert at the Welt last weekend.

Maybe it's the angle, maybe it's the color, maybe it's that it's a G83 but....they look kinda small.

I noticed that. I think it's because it draws more attention to the tire size and wheel gap. Would require a drop to correct this.

I’d love to replace my 829 winters with the silver 825… sad to see the grey 825 being discontinued. I think it’s a unique look and uncommon choice that will be missed by a few people.

825 in gloss black with the polished lip would be a badass look as well. Anyone done this?

I agree. With lighter wheels, the wheel gap is even more visually noticeable. Now that I have lowered my car, it definitely looks much better with the silver 826M wheels.

[Art__Vandelay]

Does anyone have 826M wheels in silver with a gloss finish? Or came across some pictures.

Mine have a satin finish and while I like it, I wonder if it would look even better with a gloss finish (partly because Skysrcaper is a "shiny" color and it might match even better).
