825M / 826M dropped with spacers?

I need to lock in my selection very soon and I'm having second thoughts on the 826Ms getting scratched up.

BG, Fiona red, red calipers.

Looking for pictures of your 825M / 826Ms on a drop with spacers.

Post em up!

Thanks in advance
CR

Not sure I understand your concern. Scratched up against what?

Just general cleaning, debris, etc. I don't think the painted wheels will hold up as well

I agree, I've seen a lot with the 826- but not so much the 825

I have 15mm spacers in the rear and 12mm on the front with 826M black wheels. No issues with scratches. I have ordered the KW HAS kit and will be lowering my car soon. Apart from curbing my wheels (which I hope never happens) I don't foresee my wheels being scratched up.

perfect thanks, I know I might get shouted down but I love the look of the 825s. 826 is too close to the older gen.
Also the 825 is a upgrade option in the UK, so hopefully no too may choose this.

I do believe there is a post(s) where the weights are published and the 826's are slightly lighter.

I need to dig but not today as Id rather drink.

Both 825s and 826s are painted. The only difference is the bi-color 825s' face is polished alloy (clear coated); every other surface is gloss black. The Orbit Gray 825s are all painted, save the lip, in a more forgiving medium gray.

How any rim holds up boils down to how carefully it's maintained and cleaned -- even light silver ones. I thoroughly hose mine down (till the pressure washer arrives), use a reputable wheel cleaner and variety of soft wheel brushes, then dry with a leaf blower and microfiber towel designed for paint. More time, more effort; but better results and longevity.

Good luck making your decision -- and definitely check out the threads on here pertaining to rims and detailing.

Vic55 showed 825Ms in Orbit Gray. Mine are bi-color 825Ms, which seem to be in the minority here in the U.S. I'm keeping stock ride height; spacers go on come springtime with the summer tires are remounted.

Yes its with the front mod done (but wont be needed soon as they have made hardware adjustments so one doesnt have to do the front end mod process)

Check the suspension threads. The AST thread has some pics of my car. Lowered on AST with MS 10/12 spacers. 826M black wheels. P zero tires. Here’s one for ya.

My spec is what you’re after. BG/Fiona, red calipers.
