2018 Tanzanite Blue F80 M3 with HRE FF04s

j93p · 05-02-2018, 10:10 AM

Got my new HRE FF04's from Wheels Boutique (great experience with David N. in sales) and finally have a sunny day! It is funny how much better the tanzanite looks in the sun...on a cloudy day or in the shade, it looks like every other blue car, but the sun really makes it sparkle (I need to take some pics with a better backdrop).

Very nice

WheelsBoutique · 05-02-2018, 10:43 AM

I'm trying to figure out what is more impressive, the color of the car or the wheels. Probably both!

You made it very easy to work together - I look forward to doing more with ya in the future. Enjoy the ride my friend.

Very classy. Any plans on lowering?

j93p · 05-02-2018, 02:45 PM

Too funny, I had a bet with a friend that it would take less than 5 comments before someone mentioned lowering it...

No plans to lower it. I bought it outright, but only keeping it another 16 months (until my 40th!), so I couldn't see throwing $$ out the window for the kit/install.

BMW nailed the back end and the tire gap is perfect from the factory. WTF were they thinking in the front though...It could stand to be dropped at least 1 or 1.5 inches, so I would prefer it to be lower, but I will live with it as is.

Thanks,
Bill

Man I love these wheels...and the car!!!

Beautiful setup and car

Looking good. I was wondering what Liquid Metal FF04s would look like on Tanzanite. I was |-| this close of getting them on mine.

Golfster · 05-03-2018, 09:03 AM

That combo looks very nice.

You beat me to it! You will have a twin in the very near future

Car / wheels look fantastic. The blue center caps look way better than the black ones they come with. Can you share the wheel/tire specs?
Congrats!

j93p · 05-04-2018, 09:55 PM

20”x9.5” // 20”x11” with 265 in the front and 295 in the rear

In the last pic, the stock rear tire is on the left and the 295 new tire is on the right

Chico · 05-06-2018, 11:43 AM

Thanks for the info. Do you know the offsets?

Definitely both; however that COLOR is definitely more impressive!

Germanauto · 05-06-2018, 01:23 PM

Those HREs set it off.
