Looks great. I can’t wait for folks to start dumping these for cents on the dollar so they can slap some ugly Chinese wheels on their G8x. I’m gonna get a set of 825bi to switch it up back and forth

In fact, it looks like the 825m's may be a touch lighter. Obviously the treadware difference plays a small role….

BACK from the dead. 3.4 pounds is alot of unsprung weight. Not sure where the tech guys are. Vorshlag does product development and those guys weigh everything. SCCA. Guys up at Texas Track Works in Fort Worth do the same. The racers are technical.

Last month I finally did the deed and placed an order on a Tanz M3 comp, opting in the end for the bicolour 26s. The webbed design, subtle glisten, and smoked hue just swayed it for me, despite my being drawn to the contrast the 25s undoubtedly offer with a colour like TBII. They'll be a labour of love to keep clean, of course; but then, I'm already well-trained for that as a deep blue car owner in drizzly UK..!

They definitely got a nice design. Personally, I would most likely have them powder coated in a at least slightly lighter color (the bi-color are still too dark for my taste). The powder coated 826Ms looked great in the photos shown here on Bimmerpost. But that's a matter of preference of course.

I personally think the TBII looks better with the 825 bicolor. I got that spec and I couldn't be happier. I guess it depends on the color of the car at what you are looking for. In my particular case, I wanted something to pop, since the car has already black accents.

The polite people of the world care. You apparently wouldn't understand since you're not one of us.

The Bi-color 826M wheels are my favorite!....

Can't decide on 826 black vs bicolor. My car is going into production next month and its Grigio Telesto. When i made the order i was 100% certain I'd want black but they are a bit hard to see. I like the contrast of the black against the grey paint but i like how you can see the bi color pattern so much better.

826M BiColor was my choice. Ive had lots of cars with black wheels. I thought the spokes always got lost in pictures.

825m bi-colour was my choice, these are the upgrade option in the UK and you don't see many with them on. I prefer the more aggressive concave to the centre of the wheel.

Also change to Michelins this week what a difference over the pirellis.

I ordered my car with black 826m but ended up purchasing the bi-color from a member. The bi-color bought the color out more in my opinion and the black got lost in the color.

Anyone with carbon ceramic brakes try fitting 825’s? My guess is they will fit but BMW didn’t have as much clearance as they would like so they weren’t an option.

I went 825M bi-color which brought out the color and brighter overall look.
