LLOBT!

(Lip Living On Borrowed Time)

Your car. Your cash. If you like it, then that's what counts OP. The minute little old men pay for your car, then little old men can tell you what to do with it. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion - and say "It's not my taste personally", but to say someone "ruined" their car just because you don't like it is asinine. I guess old men can still be immature.

Personally the reason I come here to these forums is to see something different. Sometimes I like it...sometimes I don't.

If you just want to see the same M2 over and over...go to www.bmw.com and you'll be happy. So will the rest of us.

...and it's "unsprung" weight by the way...usually good to know what you're talking about if you're going to try and insult someone.

I seem to think the bigger wheels/tires are more unsprung weight. Is this all for show and less for go?

Not trying to mend fences - just curious...now get off my lawn.

Im walking a fine line, some are performance and some are for looks.
The car is a daily driver so I dont need to get from point A to B in record setting time, im not Randy Pobst lol

.....If im not mistaken you happen to be on my lawn..... Did your caregiver forget to give you your dementia medicine??? You old man!!

[littleoldman]

I actually like the car now - took me some time - but I like it! There I said it.
I would prefer the center caps silver (the gold is Trumpy). But the rest is solid.
Just use angles on hills/etc

Definitely prefer the BBS to the Works wheels. Man does this car look good, might be one of my favorite M2's now.

Did you build these wheels specifically for the M2? They look great.

Well kinda, they were built with the M2 in mind but they were originally 18x8.5 +22 and as soon as you add more lip the offset just keeps on getting lower and lower. That's why I kept the widths similar to the m2 oem wheels and went with 2.5 inch lips all around. The final result was a 19x10 +10 and 19x9.5 +0 I also had to add a 3mm spacer to clear the brakes up front bringing it to a -3 offset. After that I had to roll and pull the fenders a tiny bit (which came out amazing you can't even tell this was done) So I could fit a decent sized tire rather than stretch something ridiculous on there

Thanks! I was trying to do the bbs's from the start but I needed to do more measuring and test fits before I had the balls to attempt it lol

I love the current look with the BBS wheels, great job! Going to second what someone else said, the roof looks unfinished with the roof rails still being blue. Get those wrapped and it will be about perfect.

[m3less]

Loved the Meisters and love thee BBS's! Great looking M2!

[vladberca]

I like better the new wheels 👍
Did you also take into account some Performance upgrades for the interior?

[Blindside_137]

That look is money with the new BBS, wow

[Dackelonely EU Dude]

Sweet ride dude...I just joined the forum and your set up is sick.

[geogerf]

Nice car man, I like these BBS rims.. I dig JDM rims, but didn't like the look of the rivets on those Work wheels.

what front lip splitter is that?

[DKX4///M]

Car looks great IMO.

However Im shocked you had a tight fit. Im running 19x9.5 et 22, 19x10.5 et35 w 15mm spacers rears...Putting 10mm Up front...With Nitto Nt01 245s and 275s rear, with a 1.5" front drop, .8" rear....No rubbing ever? What tires? Maybe your offsets are a little lower or do you have a bigger drop? It is low.

I've always been a fan of JDM wheels so I thought it was worth a shot in the dark to see if these wheels would work on the M2. Wheel specs are 19x9.5 +17 19X10.5 +31. I went the safe route on tires because I had no idea if these wheels would fit but fronts are 245/35 rear is 265/30 and I'm happy to say with some pretty aggressive driving ZERO rub.

what face/dish did you go with? absolutely love these wheels, would go well with my TE37's I have coming as an alternative.
