Can one get those Competition wheels on a non-Comp M5?

And can one get the Competition wheels without that black center?

That's where I will be driving in the next two weeks but everybody is currently at Ascari.

Pure Metal Silver

The M760Li For contrast.

I just spotted a Competition on Dutch plates. I am surprised to see it, as I don’t think I’ve even read reviews about it..

Anyways, it looks crazy good:

Nice , you take good pictures.How do the wheels look in person? They are growing on me.

Wheel look great, best of what they have on offer for the M5 right now.

Must be the lighting Scott, I don't think so.

Pure Metal Silver?

Its donington grey

I love those bicolor "Competition" rims. A 21" version would be a great option as well. Not exclusively for the M5 actually.

Floating calipers just don’t look right on a high performance car. BMW might think they are adequate, but they don’t look right. They are persistent bunch aren’t they.

I am thinking the exact same thing.

Perhaps in monocolor brushed satin silver ? Or a metallic lighter grey replacing the black finish ?

Really? It is somehow lacking the greyish touch I would expect from Donington ... but since you do have Rhodonite you seem to be the expert.

I had exactly the same feeling! Even if it works (and tests tell us already that it works perfectly) it looks so weird and "underdimensioned" ... even on my F82 the rear caliper looks massive compared ...
If BMW would offer a bigger brake kit for the rear in the M Performane Program I would vote for it solely for the look.

All I want is them to stop this bicolor wheel fad

It looks ridiculous. What is the point? Why do they want to make the rims look tiny and breakable? All it does is make the fat body of the car stand out, where it should be the focus of attention....

And I also think 20" is too small for this car.

Certainly not conducive to wafting and major curb-rash magnets...


Still...kinda cool. They'd fit the new 8 series well, I suspect.

The M550i made up to be an M5 again.

I say the same about the black/dark grey monocolor wheel fad. Eyesores, those are...

I could do without the black painted wheels. however, I still like the gray rims when done right, particularly the "Platinum" finish on Porsches and Ferric option on Ferraris.
