BMW M2 BBS FI-R
HRE R101/P101 > FI-R. Like FI-R without those stupid holes in the spokes and built to order.

BBS are a classic wheel. Not sure if they're the best looking wheel for me on the BMW. I'd rather a set of OZ Racing Ultras or something.

And it's gotta be gloss. I'm not a fan of satin or matte. You lose all definition of the wheels.

BMW M2 BBS FI-R



BMW M235i BBS FI-R

That suits the car so well. I'm not the absolute biggest fan of the FI, but that works way better on the M2 than the M3/4 for some reason

I would have to disagree with this. I had gloss black wheels and moved to satin. They seem to pop much harder and show more detail in pics.

Agree, satin looks so much better than gloss!

Exactly. If you're not getting a huge discount on wheels call a new vendor.

That might be the best looking 2er I've ever seen. That style wheel (and color) would definitely work well on the M2!

Oh I think they are the absolute best, hands down. But for some reason, I just don't think the BBS' look THAT great on M3/4, I much prefer the HRE's floating around on the forums for the money personally.

But on the M2, the FI's just work great. I can't why I feel this way haha.

Im very interested to see how much tire and wheel can fit under an M2. I think it's because they are RI-D not FI-R ?

Yes, but they probably add more performance than all the M Performance parts combined too...

Possible.., but that's not my point of view. Hitting a curb is a small disaster.
