I've yet to see BSM in person, but it's on my list. BSM certainly hides the grill, but can you see other accents like the spoiler, side skirts and rear diffuser or does it all just blend?

Yes, is beautiful. I see that you have the carbon kit, was it similar with the black gloss parts?

Any front/rear pics day or night with the lights on?

Feel free to upload larger resolution pics you might have. I love it!

Looks like glass today

jailonacs99 · 08-02-2021, 03:50 PM

I really wrestled with whether to go with the 825M or 826M wheels; so glad I went with the 825Ms! They look great. I may one day want to get them powder coated to be black instead of dark gray, but I like spoke style so much better. And that silver lip has really grown on me.

beachBmmr · 08-05-2021, 03:40 PM

First Wash vibes..These wheels are a PITA to clean..

LOVE the look with orbit gray 825M's on BSM. had the hardest time convincing my wife to go with those vs the all-black-everything 826's on her new G82. no offense...but it seems like every black car has black wheels, nowadays. being 'murdered' isnt really special, anymore. still looks great...but youre not standing out in any crowds. the gray on black still gives the same impression while being just a bit different. the contrast is dope.

thanx for reaffirming my decision!!!

if youre washing it yourself...invest in some Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner. it makes cleaning em soooo much easier. it reacts with the iron in the brake dust and turns the liquid residue purple. makes it a ton to easier clean off. i keep a bottle on deck even tho i have a membership at a hand wash place...

Couldn't agree more. Why I went with the bi-color 826M.

bicolor was my other choice. i really liked the contrast BUT...seeing that i was the one that was gonna be doing the washing...i wanted no parts of all those spokes. hahahaha

in the end...i kinda, maybe, subconsciously picked the same colorway that i have on my car. accidentally, of course

Few shots after the first wash. BSM takes some time but it does look good
