I really like it because it's lightweight but very durable and folds easily between the seat and the door. The velcro straps hold very securely, so no need to sue them into the carpet or anything. A+ in my book.

It took me a lot of time to have the perfect dimensions but I think the result talks for itself.

I had a test wheel that I drove for 10000km multiple washes, high pressure water, wheel cleaner and no problem so far. So I decided was time to do the complete set of wheels.

If anyone wants this set please contact me per message.

I love when everyone post photos. I really think the M240i is better looking than the M2.

I personally think g42 has a better looking front.

JoseSportM That looks really nice, the ztk pack wheels always reminded me of the old two tone konigs from back in the day never a fan to me they look cheap. All black makes them perfect.

Kind of funny because I had almost the opposite reaction. I do like them in all black but to me they look a lot more generic that way.

All black wheels remind me of a cheap unpainted option. And while rolling, steelies. I think the ZTK are the nicest of the wheel options, though I'd love to have a set of 666m wheels in gunmetal.

I think the diamond cut and black look really perfect with the BG. I don’t like the all black rims that much with the BG and shadow trim.

Installed the Dinan CAI. Turbo spools sound so wicked!

Nice. My backorder ETA delivery from Dinan keeps inching further away, 4/28, 5/5, 5/10. Considering cancelling and trying to find one from a vendor.

I feel ya, I got lucky with nabbing the last one recently. Very easy install, btw. If you go slowly and carefully, it'll take you an hour. If you breeze through it, I can see someone finishing it in less than 30 minutes.

I like the look of the 792M wheels and I wish you could get those with the ZTK package.

I am with ya. I really love 792M wheels and would not have been mad if the ZTK let you keep those. I have the ZTK package and I am not hating life with my wheels that came with it, but 792M were my 1st choice.

Another light mod

peaceindriving · 04-14-2023, 07:58 AM

Definitely tones it down and makes it more aggressive. I appreciate this since I have a BSM and was curious about those films from Auto id. What was the purpose of the tape before applying?

I did the sample myself and cut it myself

I like to do things on my own allways that is possible

I am not as savvy as Jose, so I ordered from AUTOID. I got the dark ones to match the upper part of the tail light. They came precision cut for our tail lights and were a breeze to put on. Including 2 photos with the tail light on and off. Highly recommend AUTOID ones for those who want a quality, simple look upgrade.

How much does it reduce the output of turn signals / reverse lights?

I don't have a video of mine demonstrating what you're asking but my best friend was in his car behind me plenty of times since I put them on and he said that plenty of light comes through when reversing/turning. He was concerned that it would be too dark as well when it came to that but it turned out not to be the case. I'll try to get a video of it at some point.

OriginalFake · 04-14-2023, 11:26 AM

I had the same concern/question. Thanks.

Here you go. Just took a short video that shows how much light output comes through the AUTOID dark tint overlays. Couldn't do the reverse light because I was by myself, but you get the idea. It's bright.
