It's definitely interested and different. I don't hate it, doesn't look bad. But can't say I prefer it over some other wheel selections.
Love the meaty tire look though. |

Yea I wanted that meaty look, I hate the big wheel and skinny tire trend. And most people I figured will go with the classic European look for wheels which is good, I wanted something different.

Really liking the track-ready look on the G80!
Would love to hear your thoughts how it effects the handling and feel of the ride. Many people talk about the cost benefit of running smaller wheels when you’re going through tires, not as much on dynamics though Thanks! |

I don't feel one way or another regarding the wheels, what I don't understand is the sizing.
9.5 square is completely insufficient for the G8X. Even in the ancient E46 days, the square setup to have is 10" square. On the E9X and F8X it's 10.5 square. The G8X weighs more than the F8X, I'd be looking to maximize the wheel width and go for a square 11 or 11.5 if it fits |

Also the weight argument is almost negligible I can attest to that. On another note after 6000 miles and 4 track days I had to replace the front brake pads already! |

To my eyes, this is easily the best looking G80 I've seen—-and i am not really a fan of this generation.
Would look even better without the intrusive side skirts IMO. simplicity is the best!

Looks like my buddy @squatchmedia got some good shots of you during Urban City Takeover at Autobahn. It's amazing how "track focused" this configuration looks at speed.
