Not xdrive but like to stay in original sizes been honest. If I had 8j rims all round then would go 235. I have been eyeing up them for a while now in 9j all round

Huge fan of the Apex ARC8s and wanted some for my E39s; but decided against it as they soon lose their value etc

Yes they're much better on a square set al round IMO and a size wider; more sidewall

That's the winter 397s washed, dried and packed away for the warmer months; they'll be reinstated come sometime October 2024 no doubt

Probably good training for you to heave those wheels around yourself anyway Dan..😉👍…by the time you’re on the last one it probably feels like it weighs twice as much, even to you ( more like ten times more for me ) 🤣

But they are heavy; more so compared to the 405Ms! So easy to clean though! If only they were lighter wheels; I'd run them all year round; think they'd look superb in ferric grey as well

Full detail today; inside and out
Plenty of trips to the nursery gardens & tip = absolutely filthy inside and out (the nursery gardens carpark is sand based; gets everywhere)! Wheels washed, snowfoamed, rinsed, handwashed, towel dried, AGs Rapid Ceramic Wax applied to the bodywork and Gyeon's Q2 tyre dressing applied and buffed off

I still can't get over how much nicer those wheels look in Ferric.
The 405M was one of my least favourite styles (I know, burn the heretic), but in that shade, they look like a completely different wheel. |

In satin black they looked really good IMO; but on the car; all that detail is lost! I really don't like them in 20" guise and diamond cut; but that's my personal preference 20" wheels don't belong on an F3X IMO; far too big/not enough tyre I have been tempted to go for 19s (BBS CH-Rs / 437Ms as an idea) or a set of Apex alloys; but the 18" 405Ms are forged and 9kg a corner; so it'd be a very expensive sideways swap really...

Mtec 5mm hubcentric shims (spacers) and stud conversion kit fitted this morning
Such an easy mod to do but makes life easier when it comes to taking off/refitting the wheels and the 5mm spacers have the wheels sitting perfectly now IMO 12mm spacer was too wide and I didn't want to go with 10mm as they don't clear the hub properly

I do take the wheels off regularly to clean the wheel arches and wheels thoroughly; so the stud kit os great for that But its also a big preference for when running spacers too
