Hi, good evening.

Just wanted to share with you some pictures of this awesome car with the 19/20" M Carbon Compound wheels (front: 9.5 J x 19, rear: 10.5 J x 20) at 8000vueltas Michelin Trackday, in Spain. The wheels are a CFRP/aluminium-composite construction and save around seven kilograms (15.4 pounds) off the weight of a BMW M4 GTS fitted with the standard forged aluminum Style 666 wheels They come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires adapted specially for the BMW M4 GTS (front: 265/35 ZR19, rear: 285/30 ZR20).

I think it's the first one spotted with those wheels. Looks mean in the flesh, absolutely stunning. I have no video sound, but it sounds very rough with these crackles and bangs from the exhaust.

Hope you like them, greetings from Spain! :thump:

Love these wheels. The 666 are gross

[Gearhead999s]

They sure could have made more of an effort to bring some pleasing appearances to those wheels.

I do too. I hated them when I first saw them but over time they are growing on me.

+1 Prefer the 666's

Now that looks downright menacing.

It almost looks like the rear wing is the lower-rise M Performance part vs. the proper GTS one. Probably just the angle though.

Digging these wheels, good shots. Too bad you couldn't get a closer shot. I'd like to see how the carbon integrates with the aluminum.

[quattr0]

The wheels are fugly IMHO.

[David1]

Could they pick a more boring wheel design. Stockers look way better.

[TheBingoBalls]

Tech is cool, design sucks.

[RickyB]

yeah they look like they came from the back page of a road & track magazine - at least take a design from the back of euromag or super street

If my math is right these wheels are 87.6lbs total (103lbs - 15.4lbs), which still makes them 7.1lbs heavier than the stock 513Ms (80.5lbs).

How is that possible?
