Thank you! Order process was excellent. Communication was excellent and fast, with little delay. They provided multiple renders, gave advice, made sure I knew what I was ordering, etc. Pricing was $3K shipped air to my house + $300 customs fees. Great price for what I got with the exact sizes/offsets I wanted vs. forcing incorrect offset/width wheels to run on the fronts (OEM).

275 up front: I wanted to keep the OEM tire widths and prefer the look of the front having a slightly smaller sidewall than the rear for the front/rear balance of the car. I also wanted to maximize concavity w/o any wheel poke as I'm not a fan of that. 295 in the back might have been possible too but loved the OEM 285 fitment on the 10.5" wheels.

Thank you! That's the only [minor] thing holding me back from making the purchase.

I know it's not a huge increase in weight, but I would prefer to buy new wheels that reduced weight over my current 826M wheels.

Your wheels are in the Forza website, with photos of the wheels on the scale.

Well there you go, I didn't even realize they had added them. Thanks!

Satin black with dark machined accents
20x10 ET14 Front + 275/30/20 tires
20x10.5 ET15 Rear + 285/30/20 tires
No spacers


Inspiration came from some M5 renders I found on the web and fell in love with. Non-dirty-garage pictures to follow.

Love the caliper color!

Looking forward to more pictures. Fitment and colors are sick. What is your suspension set up?

Right now just h/r super sport springs. 12mm spacers will be added soon. I love how it sits. Will be doing the MP HAS at some point soon as well

Wow I was so close to buying a set of black 826’s to replace my bi-color 825’s and now of course I see a couple more nice examples of the gold 827 and I’m torn again.

Same here, which is unfortunate because these look so good. Would only change wheels if there's significant weight savings.

Hi there

I have just ordered the 827's form my IOMG and was wondering. Did you go with a matt or satin black? They look great mate.

[carmeats]

If you’re on the fence. Just get them

On IOMG, you have to go Gold. And let's be honest, I was just in Perth end of last month, you'll be the only one there or within 2000km with that combo.

More silver, 20 squared.

[fkonstek@gmail.com]

Hmmmm. This what colour they were coated in and I wasn't happy with it as wanted more of a bronze.

Keep them as they are ya reckon?

What’s the reason to go with square 20 setup vs 19/20. Thanks.

For me i like to rotate corner to corner and maximize tire life. For most, It's done for looks. There are valid technical reasons for a staggered setup but they're marginal.

Hi I just picked up my M3 CS last week here in sweden with only 2500km.
First owner had a square setup running 20" front and rear but he sold it with 19" front and now wants to sell me the 20".

My first plan was to run 19/20 with 12/15 mm spacers and lower the front with eibach springs 20mm.

Now I wounder can I run a square setup with original Michelins 285/30-20 all around with eibach springs in the front and 15mm spacers in the rear without any problems?

On the picture it has 20" in the front.
