BMW wheels on a gs
I know you guys seen the gs with m6 wheels
But what do you Guys think of the m5 wheels?? I think it looks really good!!
What do you guys think he did to get those installed ? I think 25mm spacer adapter is just to big. And does anyone know the specs on those rims???
Just a thought

to make them fit you need a bolt on adaptor which bolts to your 5x114.3 hub and has studs coming out as 5x120. You need to have 25mm because this is what will completely 'enclose' your stock studs so they dont stick out of the spacer itself and hit the M wheels. 25mm bolt on spacers are a good solid safe size to run so i wouldnt worry about the size i would more wory if they will fit then...
the offsets therefore will change..based on what was posted above the effective offset after spacers
19x8.5 +12 will become 19x8.5 -13
19x9.5 +28 will become 19x9.5 +3
this is likely why they camber them in quite aggressively and do guard work. The top one (red demo car) looks like it is fully shaved and maybe slightly pulled, whereas the white one (i think this is a customer car?) is clearly pulled a fair amount to tuck those wheels. Other alternative is to radius guards and let them poke with some stretch...
And i still dont understand why people get worked up about leaving the BMW badges on there. Theyre pretty clearly BMW wheels so why take them off? a lot of VIP styling is driven from European cars so i am sure they do not mind showing they have BMW wheels. A set of those bought in Japan via Germany or whatever would no doubt cost a lot more than a set of Japanese wheels so therefore they are probably showing that the wheels are genuine and thus pretty 'baller' to them!
