Just for fun. The color is pretty awesome if not impossible to keep clean.

Speaking of which, i presume everyone is using wheels locks on these rims. I can imagine this is a real situation where you could park for a while and come back and your rims are gone.

I don't think I am unless they came in the car

A little E46 wheel variety in the family.

They did not, have to buy them separately, i assume its the same M2 bolt style. They came with my OG M2, but maybe my dealer just gave me a present that time which i didn't realize.

Has anyone looked at the tire pressure label on the door jam of your M2CS to find the recommended tire pressure for the Cup2 Connect 240. In another thread someone posted a chart from Michelin that listed 37.7 for the M2C. It seems a bit high.

Love seeing the similarities between the E46 and F87. Also it's interesting to see how far the G80 M3 has deviated from the old school styling. (not saying its a bad thing just different)

If anybody could post a link for a good wheel lock deal I'd appreciate it. I'll search of course but a lot of you guys know exactly what brand to get or the best website to buy from etc. (BMW noob here)

I worked in a tire shop when I was a teen, locks make it a tad harder to take your wheels but not by much. Hammer a smaller socket on the lock and it'll come right off. Which is often what we'd have to do, as customers lost their key 50% of the time.

M2forme · 04-05-2021, 06:37 PM

Wheel locks are a complete waste of money. Anybody stealing wheels will have the wheel lock off just as fast as a run of the mill lug nut or bolt.

This is mine. Cup 2C.

AlpsRider · 04-05-2021, 09:42 PM

Thank you! I guess Michelin wasn't far off. Do you run yours at 38? I have a set of CS Cup2 tires that I can't wait to put on my car. I'm waiting for warmer weather though.

So how do you prevent wheel theft then?

Yes. They are such a great tyre. I think you will be very happy.

My opinion it's all in where you drive and park naturally. I'm not saying locks are bad either, but they do give a false confidence to most.
