I’ve gone with 826M. I do prefer the style but most importantly they were the only ones to come in jet black. This is with Brooklyn grey and red calipers.

They are both revealed/launched at the same time on the G8x

It appears to be pre-production only

I prefer 825M over 826M wheels as I find the center area in the 826M wheel too busy, and it'll be harder to clean in general.

On Tanzanite Blue I'd go bi-color 825M
On Brooklyn Grey I'd go orbit grey 825M

I go with 826M Bicolor on IOMG. Black just hides the design in my opinion.
But in the end it doesn't matter, in my opinion all of them are nice
especially the orbit grey 825M but don't like them on the green.

The 826m seems to be lighter than the 825m:

I think this is also the wheel type the engineer said is the best performance choice? If, so lucky me. By far my first choice. Best looking wheel option since the E9X ZCP wheels.

Does anyone think the bicolor wheels are too light in comparison to some of the blues? I love the look of them, but always thought that M wheels had a darker sportier look to them like the 826's.

Such tough choices on a 3-5 year decision when you can't see them in person. And now that I have an allocation I'm down to the wire.

I'll take the lightest wheels whichever they are.

I hope some random test driver brings them up home and weights them

Here's my T2 with 826M wheels. I absolutely LOVE them and you have to see it in person. The jet black was too dark for me, the silver was too bright and shiny. The bi-color is perfect middle ground. It even looks bronzish when it has some dust on it which I kind of like.

I’ve just realized that I can’t build a g80 with 825M wheels and the carbon ceramic brakes…but the sizes between the 825M wheel and 826M are identical….🤷🏻

I like the 826M in black after seeing them. They look pretty good.
