Hello everyone! I completed my car. No more mods planned. Let me know what you think about the wheels on this car. Peace!

Looks great! Id white out the fender markers and the door trim. Looks clean if you're going for the OEM look

Now if it we're up to me I would finish it off with some carbon fiber mirror caps, blacked out the roof and add a subtle roof spoiler than call it a day!

Shoot...I'd even think about plastidip the wheels to match the carbon fiber spoiler/diffuser

Looks good. I was going to ask what size spacers you were running as well. 10 front, 15 rears? What type of suspension are you running?

Haha, I know what you mean. I like the style but they don't look right to me without the spacers. They are 12.5mm Front, 20mm Rear.

ACS Springs
Spacers:12.5mm Front, 20mm Rear. The ride is the same. No rubbing at all.

Oh, 20mm spacers in the rear, I thought my 18mm with the winter set-up and 245 tires was flush.

Thanks! I like the way the car looks with these OEM wheels but I definitely miss MORR VS8.2s. I really do. Perfect style for F10 imo. I want to see how strong these OEM wheels are going to be before I go aftermarket route again

Thanks! I had blackout wheels before and I got tired of them. Silver or brushed aluminum look is what I like these days

Thanks! They are definitely not that popular on the forum but they are my favorite OEM wheels for F10.

Is your car lowered? I think 22.5mm spacers would look even better. Nevertheless, I like this offset so far

Of course, I'm lowered on coilovers.
