Glacier Silver F31 M Sport on square 20" ATS Racelight Grey **Updated with pics**
So I sold my 403M's and today I finally got the new wheels. Dont really like multispoke n mesh wheels and wanted something special with twin 5 spokes, I believe I'm the first and only one with these wheels
ATS Racelight Grey 20x8.5 ET35 (11.7 kg / 25. 7 lbs each, ok in my book) Michelin Pilot Super Sports 245/35 R20 (10.4 kg / 23 lbs each) I actually ordered the wheels in satin black, so what I got was a mistake. But, a pretty mistake I was one who totally dissed grey wheels on silver cars in another thread, but dammit this actually looks good Went with a taller profile for extra comfort n rim protection, the fit was millimeters away from failure but it does work without issues. Finally getting the pics up now, hope they´re viewable (Any tips for creating a little space between the pics?)

Looks good, I'm taking delivery of my GS F30 M sport next week and have been trying to figure out if i wanted to go black, gunmetal or something else with the wheels -- i think this color is the answer. Cant wait to see more pictures.

I think it's a damn fine mistake..I have satin black Ats wheels on my wife's 118, and they're great, but the grey look much better!

After a few days of driving/playing and just living with these wheels I can honestly say the comfort is now far superior than with the 403Ms on runflats. And this has to be from a combination of lighter wheels plus non-rft. I seriously think I could have gone with the OEM profile (245/30) and still had a more comfortable ride than with the RFTs, but with all the potholes on these shitty roads and this bein my daily driver I still think its safer protecting the wheels with a bit more rubber. Handling: It´s an awesome setup; the extra width in front gives you that extra turn-in it is sometimes lacking and it´s just so much more planted and stable now. Love it Performance: Since this setup saved me almost 40 lbs unsprung weight vs the old one it really does feel lighter and shoots off quicker, I do notice a significant improvement in acceleration at speed so I´m really pleased with that as well In general I think people underestimate lightweight rims and tires, not that my rims are the lightest but 25 lbs a piece is almost 4 lbs less than the 403M´s. Just put the pics up but dammit they´re too big and there´s no space between the pics, should I resize and re-upload? What size is good?

And with F30 offsets you won't get them as concave as those in the picture either. |

different ppls have different taste, i do like the style and look of the ATS racelight but i just can't live without the aggression of the deep concave rims. |

I too love concave rims, but they won't look anything like that on a F30. You can't get that concave wheels on our cars unfortunately. |
