Although I consider myself a learned man, and enjoy reading philosophy, psychology, lyrics and poetry, these are among the most powerful words I've ever read.

M2Pilot · 10-08-2021, 10:16 AM

It's going to be a good day!

DanG · 10-08-2021, 11:56 AM

Hmm. So what is coming? 4 boxes. I guess wheels.

Yup, gloss gunmetal.

Look great. Congratulations.

Great looking wheels. I'm leaning towards the same ones but a different finish.

Would you be willing to share specs?

Yes, of course.

The specs you need will depend on the tires you want to run though. I wanted the 265/30 & 285/30 sizes, so I chose 9.5 +28 and 10.5 +42. However, I'm not sure the front clears the brakes yet, I'll have to figure that out tonight (it probably does, the KL01 does at 9.5 +28), and if you want to run the big 295/30 (popular) in the rear then you'll want to choose +44.

I'll update this tonight when I make sure they fit without any issues. They should, but I want to make sure.

Informative posts like this is what makes you such a MVP on this board.

Thanks for all the golden info you share!!

Edit: not to mention all the amazing m2 photos…

Wheels look great, but did you decide agains the FI-R's? Are you keeping the 763m? I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures!

Daytona_550 · 10-08-2021, 07:23 PM

Wheels look great! Bet you can't wait to get them on!

Al Bundy's Dodge · 10-08-2021, 07:29 PM

Sex in a box right there. Can't wait to see the pics!

The set I was going to get was used, and had scoring, but it was too deep. The barrel on the FI-R is only 4mm thick, so even 1mm of scoring requires replacement.

Very happy with the KL11's for now. HRE P101's in the future.

VisualEcho · 10-08-2021, 08:36 PM

Fitment is cake without the 2NH, and I believe they will fit just fine with. I wish I could find someone that knew exactly how much further forward the 2NH caliper sets.

cb804 · 10-09-2021, 04:50 AM

I've been waiting to see gloss gunmetal wheels on an M2 forever. Everyone gets matte finish but I think the gloss adds more depth and interest. Looking forward to see them on your car.

I thought it was just the opposite; most guys get gloss. I wanted the matte, but don't like the eggshell finish, and without the clear-coat it's just not as durable.

I think years ago they used to make the matte finish super smooth, but have since elected to make the finish much thicker because it doesn't have a clear-coat, so it has that eggshell look up close. You'd think you could just shoot a matte clear over the top to keep everything super smooth, but it's just not that easy.

2 snaps for you guys between rain showers.

DanG · 10-11-2021, 02:33 PM

Looks great.

(K) · 10-11-2021, 02:49 PM

Gorgeous. Love the sidewall squareness but the 30 profile gives it a rubber band thin look. Not that it's a good or a bad thing.

Your car overall is just super clean.

Yup, looks very different from the norm, and not as muscular.

Wheels look great! How do you like the Fire Hawk tires? Any obvious differences from the Michelin tires?
