apez · 09-11-2023, 08:50 PM

This just makes the car look more real.

rcouchh · 09-12-2023, 08:57 PM

Wheels are finished and they are some DEEP boiz. ~25 days out

Just being inflammatory and instigating F87 G87 beef. Not that deep.

AutoID TRE front lip, air inlets, and side skirts installed. Quality and fitment is very good

M3R1 · 09-13-2023, 10:29 PM

BSM is the color!!! Looks awesome!!!

M2 CCO · 09-13-2023, 10:38 PM

Looks amazing! Did you do the install on the lip and side skirts? If so, how was it? It will look

once your wheels get on for sure!

Trying to decide which aero kit to go for on my BSM build as well.

I had my shop do it, hardest thing was the air inlets because the front bumper has to come off. Front lip/skirts were super straightforward. Everything lined up well and there was only one place for everything to sit.

The best part of the looks of your car is also the worst part...its black.

Would it be copying you if I did those same wheels but in a diff color?

Also, please weigh them.

Mr.McNutty · 09-14-2023, 02:54 PM

May I have a desktop wallpaper size version if this photo, if you have it?

Haha I don't mind. Seems more than a couple of M2's will be rocking them!

Will definitely weigh, I was told they will be roughly ~20.5lbs front and ~22 rear

Yeah they're brushed finish with a gloss clear coat on top. Can tell in certain angles from the pics but hard to tell in those.

I didn't take these landscape unfortunately. But don't worry I'll have some more for you in the next couple days

ourlee · 09-14-2023, 03:53 PM

The comps I like may be 23 and 24 lbs. In your opinion will the few lbs more than your superlites be noticeable?

I want these but they’re a bit stout

Few pounds per wheel can certainly make a difference in feel. The 20x11 rears might be 22-23lbs I'll have to see when they arrive. Either way we will both be shaving a ton of weight from the stock cast bricks

ourlee · 09-14-2023, 05:06 PM

Yeah as far as I know
Front 27-23
Rear 31-24 These are estimates from VT

Gotcha.. in my notes from talking w/ VT I had written 20.5lbs I think that was for 19x9.5 and might be an underestimation. I switched to 19x10 fronts so prob added a bit from that as well. Not super worried about it tho it will be a big improvement. Will keep ya posted.

Yeah the weights I wrote were for those fat comps, not yours. I’m buying oem size with proper et

I’m like 0.25-0.5” from lowest setting. Might max it out but wanted to play it safe with the lip for now.
