You must’ve ordered the F series bolts?

I ordered the regular ones but they were three weeks out so they asked me if I would take the torx. Now that I have them, I actually like the way they loom and it will make it harder for someone to snatch my wheels . However, if someone wants something bad enough, they will find a way.

Wanna trade? Lol
I have the black PVD Torx but they’re still hex on the outside. I wanted a round head Torx but apparently they only list them for the F series. Not sure why. They appear to be the same thread, pitch, and length.

Lol... no thanks, I actually like the natural titanium. See if they will exchange them. It doesn't hurt to ask. Their customer service is really good.

Yeah no returns once used…. and they’re used now. Oh well.

So for those who care…
TL;DR - do not buy the G series wheel bolts toward the bottom of page. Use the F series bolts. The G series at the bottom is really for the X5, X7 etc.

Some additional digging, the ACER site states “G Series uses the special 2 piece bolts listed UNLESS you are using aftermarket wheels and the aftermarket wheel manufacturer designed the wheel to use the standard M14x1.25x28 bolt. Please note the flange on this G series version between the loose washer and the 17mm hex head has a 27mm diameter, which is the standard diameter for the OEM G Series bolt design which is BMW part 36136795153”

Now looking at my wheels (I have the 1000M from the dealer, new with car) and comparing the existing bolts/lugs against the ACER ones, there is a sizable difference in the washer size (dia.) because the dealer used the bolts from the F chassis, therefore it seems that (edit) I bought the wrong damn bolts.

Pictures attached for clarity

Oh and…
Yes… I need a drop

I caught that when I ordered mine. They didn't fit at all, correct?

No. They fit (thread wise) the taper is probably off though.
They were nice enough to give me a discount for the correct set. Now I need to buy an X5 so I can use these 🤣

These wheels look amazing. How long are recent orders taking to arrive, from placing the order to wheels at your door?

Took me a tad over a week. Assuming they have them in stock.

I ordered may 26 and my set is scheduled for delivery on Thursday so just about 8 weeks.

I got them in a week and a half from ordering them. Way quicker than they said originally, which was 4-5 weeks.

I am currently inquiring with Alex @ Edelweiss on
10.5x20 ET14 285/30 R20 11x20 ET12 295/30 R20
and I was thinking about the Gloss Graphite finish. I have a 2022 G82CX.
Did you go all in? Tires, TPM, caps, etc. etc?
It is also PB. Do you have any pics yet of the wheels mounted on the car?

No I do not have my car yet. It is at the Port. Only pictures I have seen
on this Forum are on a Skyscraper Grey M4, which is in this thread.
I believe with all the exterior Carbon Fiber I'll have on my car the Gloss Graphite will be best look. But, I would of went with it if all the trim was black also, because of how it will go with the blue.

I have the exterior carbon package and PB, and there still is quite a few pieces which are gloss black like the panel below the doors and skirts around rear and front wheels, etc. But thought the Gloss Graphite finish on the LT3's would look similar to the original bi-color 826M wheels.

Gloss Graphite is slightly darker grey in color than Gunmetal grey.
I prefer the 825 wheels in grey with the blue, but I got CCB's so I had to get the 826 wheels which I do not like the design of as much as the 825. Although the 826 is lighter. If I remember right the Edelweiss are avg 3lbs lighter than the 826 a piece. I originally had picked black 826 wheels because I was going to powder coat them Gloss Graphite, which I probably still will when the tires need swapped some day, but I changed to Bi-Color 826 because 1) I can't stand black wheels, and 2) because to the eye the silver/black is like grey visually next to the blue since silver and black together make grey.
My car will have the Carbon Fiber front lip, side breathers, and side skirts with the winglets. I didn't get the rear side diffuser pieces because I don't like the wings behind the tires where the mud flaps will go. Instead I have OEM style Carbon Fiber ones I bought aftermarket along with a taller duckbill lip spoiler in Carbon Fiber also.
Only gloss black I'm keeping is around the windows and the strip around the rear diffuser.
If you don't want the wheels grey you would be better off getting the frozen black, but I assume you know Gloss Graphite is grey.
Edelweiss has good pictures of it on a blue Camaro on their website. The blue is similar, so it gives a good idea what it will look like.

Thanks for your input. The finish is a tough choice, and I asked Edelweiss for their thoughts and their choice was Dark Chrome. According to them Dark Chrome and Gloss Graphite are very similar under dark surrounding light, but under sunlight dark chrome turns into a tinted chromy silver tone, while gloss graphite stays dark. Their gallery doesn't have many views of this finish against a blue car except for 2 (an F87 and an M2) with LT5 wheels and 1 with LT3, which looks like a tanzanite G83.

finally they arrived

I think Dark Chrome would look really good too. I had ordered Forgeline wheels for my Z06 in a Dark chrome and the wheels ended up being three different shades. I'm sure Edelweiss has it down and would be good, but that experience from around 2010 time frame I still think about.
The Dark Chrome would look more OEM BiColor shade than the Gloss Graphite which is no doubt Dark gray. I think they are between the shade of the grey in the Carbon Fiber and the black in the Carbon Fiber. When light hits Carbon Fiber it looks grey in photos, but when Carbon Fiber is in the shade the lighter grey part don't show as well unless you get right up on it. I think the Gloss Graphite grey will stay in the range of whatever the Carbon Fiber is doing depending on the lighting. So, even in bright sunlight the Gloss Graphite will stay between the two shades in Carbon Fiber and never get as light as the grey in the Carbon Fiber gets in the sun. That is what I want. Maybe because it has "Gloss" in the name you thought it would be shiny. If that is the case you may be better off taking their suggestion on the Dark Chrome. I believe there is an M4 Vert on the Edelweiss site with Dark Chrome wheels. Good luck in your decision, but really I think any color wheels are going to look great. The style and deep concave can not be denied.
I just noticed you saw the G83. Maybe see if they can send you photos in an email of both finishes.

I finally got around to mounting them after ceramic coating. Love the 20/21 polished aluminium setup on my Dravit Grey G83.

That's a good suggestion. Right now I'm leaning toward the Dark Chrome. I noticed in a separate post/thread yesterday, comments like "I really love the M826 bi-color why would anyone want to change it". It just boils down to want you like, all of it is good.

If anyone is contemplating 20/21 heres another pic
