825M or 826M wheels?
Which wheel/color combination do you prefer?
I ordered the 825M orbit grey, but might change to 826M bicolor. |

I initially had the 825M in Orbit Grey on my original build but decided on the 826M. I feel the exposed ring around the 825M makes the diameter of the wheel look smaller.

My current plan is 825M orbit grey on brooklyn grey. Not a big fan of bi-color wheels unless I see the 825M bi-color in person and it changes my mind. I didn't like the 826M style from the pics I've seen so far.

825M for me, especially in Orbit grey. I like the other wheels too, but I feel like BMW uses that style on other M models too. This one looks more unique.

Here is like the best video with these wheels. I like them and thought to take them with frozen grey (but just looks to much Mercedes then) or also with IOMG which I will go now. Decided then for 826M Bicolor, looks stunning on IOMG. |

I'm a big fan of both wheels but I love the 826M and that's what I selected for my Toronto Red G80.
I always loved the 666M in bicolor (even more than my 763M CS wheels) and this is basically the same wheel on crack.

Anyone have any idea of when the 826M wheels will be available in all silver? In the M-town The drop video if you watch closely, at the 1:40 you can see it in all silver.

I like the obit grey 825M, but dislike the shiny pinstripe around it. But from the thumbnail above, it is subtle in daylight.

I keep vacillating. I think I like the bi-color 825s, but wish there was a way I could see them in person to know for sure.

Has anyone noticed that side pictures showing both front and rear wheels look a bit odd since they're staggered 19/20 wheels? The 19inch front wheels have fatter tires around them for obvious reasons and that looks a bit odd to me. Maybe I'm being ridiculous. Anyone?

It seems people like 825M more in general, I think I will stick to that.
Closer look at 825M orbit grey. |

826m bicolor for me.
Does anyone know the specs of the rims by the way? Weight, offset, center bore. Are them 5x112 or 5x120? I only know that the 829m (winter tires setup) are 9"/9.5" ET20. |

I went with 826. Isn't the 825 the old style?
