is it just me or does the 826m look slightly bigger?
I like the 825 pattern

I think they all look good.
My preference would be the Orbit Grey 825M - I don't see too many of those ordered. Matte surfaces don't show scratches like the jet black ones do. I had the Jet Black 437m on my first F80 and hated them for that reason. I'm thinking I'll be ordering those with the car and then getting a set of the 963m. Unless they add 963m to the VIA order list. |

The strange thing about the Orbit Gray 825M wheels is that, they usually look like darker wheels, but they have that bright, lighter colored ring around the outside of the rim. I don't see that silver "ring" around the edge of the rim in this pic though. Am I thinking of a different wheel that has that lighter colored ring?

I did a whole thread, asking people if it was just me, or do the 825 wheels just look like they belong on a base model? Where the 826M wheels just looks premium. I went for 826M Bicolor. You cant go wrong.

the way everyone seems to have spec'd the 826's makes it seem like THOSE are the base model wheels. hahahaha

Exactly my experience. At the times I went cruising around dealerships for G80/82s there was no single one in the US w/o the black 826’s. I went with the 825’s in same combo as below even they cost a premium compared to the 826 in Germany. I believe I am still happy with this choice.

I was all set on 825 but changed the order right before the cutoff to 826Bi.
The more I looked at 825 up close the more I started disliking the sharp angle turn spokes took towards the Center cap. 826 are flowing fluid concave to the center. That’s what I liked and switched Last edited by MTM3; 11-15-2021 at 09:35 AM.. |

I like that BMW offers different strokes for different folks, when it comes to optioning our rims, trims, seats, etc. You do you; I do me. We're all one happy family.
I may be showing my age (if so, so be it), but I have yet to 'get' the appeal of black wheels, regardless of paint color but especially dark colors. The rims are the jeweled highlights of the vehicle. So you can guess my choice .. Last edited by luckylingy; 11-15-2021 at 07:25 PM.. |

The 826M bi-color wheels are still too dark for me. It happened several times here on Bimmerpost that pictures with the 826M bi-color wheels were shown and then various members asked if that's the black or the bi-color version. The difference is just too small if you don't like dark wheels. But definitely still better than the black ones.

I've just ordered the G82 in Tanzanite Blue with Orbit Grey 825 M wheels - arrives in Feb 22 so hopefully made the right choice!
...and if not, I might get the 21/20" Gold Bronze Matt 1000 M wheels fitted! Last edited by RichardGM4; 11-18-2021 at 09:50 AM.. |
