One Sad wheels day

Guys, I need to let go of my Morr MS8 20" for F10. Only one of them have a very minor scratch.... So make me an offer. I willing to let them go for cheap (but not garbage prices) instead of letting them sit around in the shop......

The MS8 fits the F10 perfectly, flush to the fender. The 6GC have the same offset wheels as the F10. But there is a catch. Seems that the OEM F10 wheels fitments are very conservative. Meaning that the OEM wheels will sit about 1/2" inside the wheel well. So for a more flushed look, custom wheel manufactures CAN engineering the wheels to be flush when mounted on the F10.

Now here comes the problem. The same OEM wheels when mounted on the 6GC is already very flushed to the wheel well. So when I tried to fit the Morr MS8 to the 6GC, the wheels protrudes about 1/2" out of the wheel well, which is asking for trouble. So.... I need to let the MS8s go.

So, any of you F10 wanting bigger, nicer looking, forged 3pc wheels.... Make me an offer. Wheels are at WK. If anyone interested in seeing them, give me a hola

I would have taken them if I am on stock. It's really a good deal. But I don't want to spend more on my car now.

This is my reasoning..and its true...for me at least.

If you want something and its expensive, you can TRY to save money by buying the cheaper version. But, after buying it, you will spend a bit more money to try to make it as good as the version you wanted. Then, ahving spent the original + the additional money it is now greater than the original money for the top one. The sad part though is that the modified one is not as good as the original good one you wanted, so you will probably sell or just dispose the less expensive one and then spend a whole new amount of money for the one u wanted.

So really, is having a budget really that healthy when you know what you want

MLai, please pass me commission after selling to RR80 haha

So very true! Exactly why I bot the 550i and now the 650i GCs

With the 650i GC, I keep on thinking about mods. Lowering? No the car is low enough... Brakes? I still have my Brembo GTR and the 650i doesn't feel like it is lacking in stopping power even with stock. M Sport? Don't like it on the GC. Rear spoiler? The GC already has a perfectly shaped rear deck lid. Lights? Well, the 6GC comes standard with full LEDs. Wheels? The 464M doesn't look bad at all IRL.

Ah..... What is there for me to mod

You can have it, as I said it's a bit out of my budget. BTW, thought you're not keeping the f10. Change you mind?
