dark chrome is definitely real nice, especially when it's really dark

You gotta be kidding me. I order a set of 818s in satin black, and NOW you come out with the black chrome?!? Those are hot - I wish I had known about them!

You're on a roll, Zoeb. Joking aside, I can't wait to show-off the wheels on my car. Based on these posts, these wheels are going to be as popular as the T1S.

They won't be out in that color for a while, that's just a prototype set that we ordered for my 335i



full shoot soon

Wheeldude and myself did a photoshoot last weekend - Club 818.

Hopefully some pics will be ready by end of this week. And Wheeldude took videos (rolling shots) as well. But I'm not sure if he will post those here (he was just messing with his new camera)...but the video looked sick!!!

Quick question, guys. Did you receive hub centric rings for your wheels?

I didn't want to call them out, but I was supposed to get spacers, red caps, and hubcentric rings. I tried calling them multiple times and also tried emailing, but they never reply. They sent me an invoice for the red caps that shipped out eventually, but where are my spacers and hubcentric rings?

My wheels vibrate on the road because of the lack of hub rings. This is becoming very inconvenient for me.

No need to call them out. Zoeb will set you straight. Give the guy a break, maybe he went on vacation for the holiday? I was missing something when I received my shipment, but Zoeb made it right as soon as he could.

Thanks, Zoeb was definitely very cool to deal with when ordering and everything, but I wish a little more attention to detail was given because right now, i don't have hubcentric rings, wheel caps, or spacers. However, that's okay. People forget and it just may have slipped their minds. But the communication is really hurting right now.

Anyways, I am very happy with the wheels. They are surprisingly lightweight. The finish looks very nice and I am loving how they look on the car. I can't count how many heads i've turned in parking lots and the road in the past 1.5 days i had the wheels on.


Here's a "teaser":


Taken with phone camera, so please understand,

H&R Sport Springs (~1.5")
Hankook Ventus V12 - 235/35/19 F
Hankook Ventus V12 - 265/30/19 R


These tires are sticky and they look great with the wheels.
