It is honestly the best $10 anyone with a 6MT M2 can spend.

That looks fresh!
Was it hard to do? Is it just removing the bolts in the back, allen bolt?

I have the trim too but i haven't got around installing it.

Yeah super easy.

Disconnect negative battery terminal in the trunk first, just to be safe. All the DIY's I found said to do this.

Then use a screwdriver on the sides of the steering wheel to pop out the airbag, one side at a time (not actually unscrewing anything here).

Once airbag is off, the trim is held in by 2 torx 20 bolts behind where the airbag was inside the steering wheel, and the one in the back of the steering wheel you mentioned, also T20.

Then just pulls off with a tad of force.

Very excited. Forgeline's are in with 265/35 and 285/35r19 RE11's for more dry grip vs the pss. Good pics coming as soon as I can.

Brand new design they are calling the GTD1 open 5 lug. He Finish is beautiful too but hard to see in the pics. Brushed with a light tinted gloss clear.

I'm surprised your XPel guy didn't do it, or do you not like his film manufacturer?

He 3rd parties his tints to another mobile guy as he just focus on clear bra and I have one that I have been using for years. Two different things you know.

Wheels look sweet but I just can't stand the square side wall (I might be a minority).

Yeah I just wanted more grip than the PSS and I've always had a sidewall lean. I love it! It's a matter of opinion though for sure

A few more. Very race wheel and tire haha, I love it though. Great looking For a straight function wheel and in general.

With the camber plates and suspension dropped an inch all around it will start to look the part. Hopefully

Gave my M2 a Powerlock treatment today. Off topic but also took my E90 in and had A Bilstein/Eibach kit installed along with Dinan camber plates and some fresh MPSS.

ER charge pipe, ER turbo to intercooler pipe, and Active Autowerke Intercooler installed.
I can't believe how small the stock intercooler is compared to the AA unit.

Bought some cheap decals for the grille on amazon, seemed fun. Put on the white just a test to see how they fit and stick. Was going to go the standard blue, blue, red but decided to keep the white on for now because I thought it looked interesting. Shrug.

Thanks! Specs are 19x9.5et31 front with a 10mm spacer so et21. I like the turner caps because they Cover my ugly Hubs. Forgeline has a deep cap option as well. Rear is 19x10et33. If you went with a smaller tire you could get to around et25-27 no problem.

Front tires are 265/35 RE-11's. Rears are 285/35. The rears need a little camber added since the tires are so tall and fat on a 10. So around 2 degrees is perfect. Stock camber on the front until my plates and SLP arms come in. This car has a lot more room in the front than people think. If it weren't for strut clearance I would had went 10 square but I didn't have camber plates yet.

Amazed that you got the fronts to fit without rubbing. I tried 265/35 RE71Rs with a 27.5 offset (35 wheels with 7.5 mm spacer) and they rub the fender liner in front when turned about half lock. 255/35 are fine.
