I keep going back and forth on the 825M bicolor wheels:

--Sometimes I feel like the brighter silver finish really sets off darker paint colors in a positive way.

--But sometimes I feel like they look like a kid wearing a brand new pair of squeaky clean white sneakers on the first day of school and look slightly dorky compared to the darker finishes.

Decisions...

I have the 825 bicolor and I believe they are the best looking wheel. That touch of silver on the wheels makes the car pop. Plus no one specs the 825m wheels so far it's all 826

I find the 825 appear more concave but the 826 have the illusion of appearing a size larger. I would have to see both in person to make a decision.

Those 826 bicolors look great on PB. PB is on my short list but I haven't been able to see one in person (on a G80/G82 anyway). Any chance you have more pics to share in different lighting conditions? Appreciate it.

These are the conditions under which the 826s look best (when the sun or light shines directly on them). Unfortunately, this is often not the case and without this lighting, the rims are too dark for me (otherwise, I like the design itself).

Anyone else's eyes seeing this the same way mine are?
I have the 825's to compliment the shadow line delete. I am pretty happy with the look. I also believe the 825's accent the concave structure of the wheel.

Glad you brought up the shadow line delete. Do you have any pics you could share by chance? Seems like not many folks have gone that route but it's definitely a consideration for TBII with the 825 bicolors...

I went this route. I ordered my M3 on Wednesday this week and got my production number today. I went TBII, shadow line trim delete but with the M Shadowline lights. And the 825M's. Happy to post pics at delivery.

It's a great look. That's how I got mine. Really a great match.

I wasn't liking the 825s initially, but they've really grown on me.
Bright AND dark versions.

Is it just me, or do the 825s tend to come shod with the Pirellis vs. the Michelins?

I like the 824s, but do NOT want Conti's
