I realized that pic was before the spacers were put on Lol. I'm pretty conservative with spacers. I'm running 12mm front and 5mm rear. You could run 15mm in front and it would be perfect. The rears to me don't need much. 12mm rear looks to donky for my taste
That's a good visual. 12mm up front does look good. I would probably opt for 10mm in the back. I think I'm running 12mm all around on my current F82.
A 15mm front and 10mm back would be a very near perfect aggressive set up in my eyes

I debated for a long time as well and I'm hoping I made the right choice when I finally see the car. What are your thought processes on both?

I like them both, but I'm leaning toward the bi-color 826M. The problem is the orbit gray 825M looks good in so many photos too. I'm going Brooklyn Gray/Yas Marina CF buckets with full leather interior, and I just want to make the wheel choice that'll best accentuate that.

What steers you away from the 825 bicolor?

Just a very slight preference for the mesh design. That's really the only reason the 826M's appeal to me.

It would make things so much easier if we could see them in person as they look so different from different angles and in different lights. In some lights and angles the silver part of the 826 bicolor gives off a nice muted silver brilliance, whereas in a lot of pics it almost looks monochrome.

I've seen the black 826M's in person, but I definitely want to see the bi-color option.

Mine up close. 826m bicolor. Looks dark when viewing at an angle, but nice and contrasting when looking dead-on

How are they for keeping clean? I have the 826 blacks and they attract an absurd amount of brake dust, even with a ceramic coating on them. Look very full after one drive basically

My M2C's 788's burned out all of my "clean wheels" OCD. I also have the 826 blacks and they're filthy, but thanks to my time with the 788's my response is simply, "yep. normal."

Looks incredible, congrats! These are the bi-color wheels, correct? Going back and forth on black or bi-color. Looking forward to seeing more pics of this beast.

Does anyone know about a fuel cap that was carbon fiber? I think I remembering seeing something, but can't figure out where or what it was. Potentially OEM M part? Not sure.
