BBS Motorsport GT4 wheels on 1M

After experimenting with different wheel options for 1M, we decided to try BBS Motorsport GT4 wheels. These are the same wheels BMW Motorsport division uses on GT4 M3 car.

BBS Motorsport GT4 wheels are unique and not intended for street use, so we had to manufacture custom spacers/adapters to appropriately fit 1M.

Good looking wheel but it is really hard to beat the stock wheels. I personally don't like that design better.

I think they look great! Do you have weights and tire sizes?

having seen these wheels in person (on a local M3) they are some great looking wheels.

Did you go staggered or 9.5 all around?

These are the best wheels I have seen or the 1M yet:

However, you need $10,000

We haven't weighted them yet. I'll make sure to do that.

Andre (Advevo) is using the GT4 M3 wheels on his 1M.

See his track car build thread.

When you say, spacer/adapter what are we talking about in millimeter's (example: I have a friend of mine with an e46 M3 running porsche twisted 5 spokes off of a 996 turbo and he had to have 45mm adapters made to make them work) I think that would be aggressive, but past that these wheels are sick! Im liking the look. Good job!

What I meant is that we had to fabricate spacial adapters to fit the OE hub size. At the same time we added a set of spacers since these wheels come with pretty conservative offset.
