I usually ask them to check for any uneven wear, and unless there is, I only do the alignment every other year or when I notice handling is not what it used to be.
They do recommend annual alignment, which depending on the roads in your area and how you drive may not be too bad an idea. Just the cost of replacing tires prematurely should cover the alignment cost usually, not to mention how much fun it takes from your driving enjoyment potentially. |

I ordered 4x the 826M wheels to be my square setup, all 19x9.5. The shipping weight of the large box is 67 pounds, so each wheel is <16.75 lbs if you factor out some ounces for packing material. |

Also be aware that machine faced wheels are not recommended for winter use, they may not be able to withstand the elements. At least one supplier I was talking to did said they do not have them approved for winter use.

OEM wheels have clear coat on the machined surfaces, so no worries there.

Nice! Where did you get the set up from? Tire Rack? If so, they don't seem to show those wheels as an option.

Yup, they’re from tire rack and this is correct. I posted some screen shots earlier in this thread on how to find them.

Interesting.. they must've taken them off because the only option that shows for me when I select the 20" option is the BBS CC-R for $850 per wheel lol

I searched this wheel on Google and found that some sites state the centerbore is 73mm when I believe our cars use 66.5mm... maybe Tire Rack realized this and removed the wheels as fitting on our cars? Can you double check your receipt or packaging to see what the centerbore is? See my post above as Tire Rack no longer lists these as an option for our cars.

Just found this old thread of this G80 in the snow on these wheels. Same wheels right? https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1800593 Looks great!! Might have to pull the trigger. I was on the fence but think we are going to road trip from New York to Montreal in November so won't want to get caught out |

My package included a “centering ring”. Would they have installed that to adjust the centerbore? |

Wonder if it’s because the base rims are 18/19 and it won’t let the fronts go +2 for a winter set. That seems likely.

"The centerbore of a wheel is the machined opening on the back of the wheel that centers the wheel properly on the hub of a vehicle. This hole is machined to exactly match the hub so the wheels are precisely positioned as the lug hardware is torqued down. Keeping the wheel precisely centered on the hub when it is mounted will minimize the chance of a vibration. Some wheels are vehicle model specific and will come from the factory with a bore machined to match that vehicle. Some wheels are designed to fit multiple vehicle models and will use a centering ring system to reduce the bore size to match the hubs of different vehicles" |
