Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and it wouldn't be the first time you and I have disagreed, but that's what makes the world special; our differences, not our similarities.

Anyone know if FI-A's in 18" fits over the M2C's big brakes? Looking for a set and would like some insight into what size and tires would fit on the car.

Saw your previous wheel studs for sale in the classified section. Thoughts on Raceseng product? Or more importantly - pictures

?

I should have mine installed by end of next week.

Quick home snap.

Might be off topic but what TPMS you guys have on your BBS wheels(RI-A specifically)? I still want to see my psi on my idrive…

Also, can someone tell me where I can buy authentic bbs center caps for RI-A. Not sure if the size that IND sells is correct.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I use the OEM Huf, but not from BMW, from TPMS direct. V2056-M2-UVC-SET - $139.97 + shipping.

I got my center caps off of eBay. Just find the mm you need and search the color you want. If you buy from IND you'll pay way too much.

I wanted black, not gold, so I got the caps from the EVO X MR.

Anyone ever compare these to the BC Forged KL01's? Do those even clear the 2nh brakes of the M2C?

What do you mean by "these?"

All of the popular 19" BBS wheels clear the 2NH brake calipers in the correct size, as do the BC Forged, which actually give you a lot more room in the barrel so they don't get scored. I had the KL11's, which are identical in clearance vs the KL01 and they had a massive amount of extra room.

I don't want to clog up a BBS thread with KL01 pix, so just go to my Flickr and you can see them. They are about half way down the first page.

The wheels are clear-coated still, so it's no different than any other paint.

Dlux is the best option, I have tried gtechniq and it is rubbish compared to dlux.

How long did you wait before level the coating? Also how many coating did you do?

You'd be alone in thinking that. C5 is the industry standard at the moment.
