Wheel question!

Powerbeast · 02-16-2016, 12:32 AM

The modding has begun and I'm currently stuck in a decision, 20" BBS FI-R or 21" HRE S204?

I know ultimately the decision is on me but I can't seem to shake the feeling that a 21" may be slightly too large for the F10M5 and if I go with a 20" wheel it will suit the car overall better and will allow for a more aggressive look and better ride comfort. Thoughts? Opinions?

M6-Coupe · 02-16-2016, 03:28 PM

my vote for 20"

SuckaGDog · 02-16-2016, 09:50 PM

21" HRE

Too many people have the BBS FI variants already imo.

///Mpower/// · 02-21-2016, 07:19 PM

20"

Looks and performs better than 21"

13M5F10 · 02-21-2016, 07:45 PM

I would vote the HRE.

Have you looked at Strasse Wheels? Rob@StrasseWheels

Beautiful wheels!

It's BBS FI (not F1)

Yes I don't have an issue locating the tires. I just think I'm going the 21" wheel route this time around.

Sorry man I actually just read my own post and it sounded harsher then I thought, that was not at all my intention at all. I just meant to say that tires aren't really what I was worried about as I have a friend at a tire store and so far he is able to get me those tires. Let's see some pictures of your car I love the FI wheel in general!

JOHN ///M · 02-22-2016, 12:44 PM

My vote goes for BBS FIR

cassidysdad · 02-23-2016, 08:43 AM

no problem at all

cassidysdad · 02-23-2016, 08:45 AM

rim choice is so subjective
you will be happy either way
i will post some pics today

lsturbointeg · 02-23-2016, 09:24 AM

my vote is for the BBS FI-R. aesthetics wise 21's would look SWEET!

but 20's if you're looking for performance

cassidysdad · 02-23-2016, 06:47 PM

there are posts on the FI Rs
sounds like they won't fit

i do like the titanium finish on my car
fits my taste

Perfect finish! Why wouldn't the FI-R work?

It looks as if BBS has built the FI-R with offsets that won't fit the F10 M5. Go to the BBS website to compare the applications for both the FI and FI-R wheels.

Vic55 · 02-24-2016, 11:42 AM

That's my one issue with BBS and most vehicle applications: they don't have custom fitments and instead need spacers. I say HRE- get it right the first time with a bad ass custom finish and a hyper aggressive fitment.

Didn't know that about the BBS so definitely HRE's with an aggressive fitment that way no need for spacers

Yea BBS is usually pretty conservative on there fitment.

MpowerMike · 03-06-2016, 09:24 PM

21's is a must!
