Ordered a set of these babies right here, Work M8R in glim black
I kinda like how they resemble OEM 1M wheels, but with a more aggressive concave and that color will be quite nice on LBB with CF touches in my opinion, it plays between dark shades with a chrome(ish) glitter to it.
I believe it will make for a nice look, without being too much boy-racer thanks to the OEM resemblance.

19x9.5+25 front, deep concave
19x10.5+32 rear, ultra deep concave.

Will post pics once mounted!

Can't wait to see... I've always loved the 1M wheels as well.

[OLO-M2]

Look very similar to the Bola B8R mentioned earlier, probably same manufacturer...

Was very interested in these but too heavy vs. 513M or vs 2forge ZF1 (8,4kg !!!) since I need a track set

[M.B.]

I doubt they are from the same manufacturer(/factory)
Work wheels are a very reputable Japanese company, manufacturing high quality wheels. Mostly known on JDM boards for obvious reasons, but can be special ordered with BMW patterns as well.
I don't know Bola but judging by the lineup it seems like they are mostly reps?

Having that said, these Work wheels are flow-formed, so will be heavier than forged. But these will be my daily set, while OEM will become a winter wheel and another 18" set for track use.

Cost?

[M.B.]

I'm based in EU, so prices may be different than US prices.
Varies depending on the type of wheel and specs, they have everything starting with those flow formed wheels to 3-piece wheels with various faces, lips, colors and customizable down to 1mm of offset.

Mine are ~1700$ after a discount thanks to some connections or ~2100 without it, for a set of 19x9.5 fronts and 19x10.5 rears.
For reference OZ Laggera HLT in 19x9+10 would be around the same ~2100$ figure around here.

Just because a wheel is forged doesn't mean it will be lighter than a flow formed wheel. There are plenty of flow formed wheels that are lighter than the stock forged wheel as an example.

Today I have learned something new :-)
I will weigh them in once I get them.

Bola is made in the best factory of Taiwan, the same as the 2forge who produce very light wheels (ex ZF1 is 8.4kg !) from what I learned this week.

Not Japan indeed, but I'd be surprised that wheels are actually made in Japan ;-)

Take a Tour of the Work Wheels Factory in Osaka

Too bad that you didn't mention it earlier: I've just bought another set of new (non square) 513Ms and I don't live so far from you ;-(

Weird that I haven't seen them, I have an alert on that site.

Which other wheels shall you track ?

Also, which suspensions do you have ?
Which height ?
Negative camber ?

Carbon Rev wheels are life on that thing. It's amazing the M2 doesn't lend itself to many wheel styles. I would still like to see a 20" 3 piece r88 style wheel. You basically have had all the best options on that thing haha

I've been looking at these wheels and considering them (though hoping they'd come in a matte gunmetal). Can't wait to see pictures. What tire size are you going with? I'd be interested to know how everything fits.

[ZPrime]

Slightly offtopic, but...

@IND-Distribution


I assume those are the BMW Motorsport lamp kit?

How much custom fab was required to put them on the M2 bumper? How bad do they kill airflow to the intercooler & radiator? Are they tied in to the factory headlight switch, or is there just a generic separate fog light switch slapped somewhere in the dash? (A PDF of the install instructions linked on your site would be really nice.)

I really like having fog lights to use in whiteout snow conditions (HIDs/LEDs suck in strong snow), but the last 2 cars I've owned didn't have them from the factory, nor does the M2... Not sure I can justify ~$3200 + fab work + permanent damage to car + decreased cooling just to add them though.

[Fab_R]

Your right... Totally off topic given this is a wheel thread.

Why don't you email IND directly re your questions/comments/opinions?

Those rear wheels will be very aggressive and will be well outside the fender even on a lowered car. So will look exactly like a boy racer.

[M.B.]

Each his own. There's another LBB on this board running 10.5+32 rears and it looks spot on, I can't see a difference from Detailer Domain's 10.5+35 on pictures.
I guess we have to wait and see. With the deal I got it was worth rolling the dice, worst case it won't be an issue selling them on.

EDITE; found the other Work wheels car. You can argue about the design of the wheel, but an OEM-looking wheel that would sit this way in the fender should look fine in my opinion.
