First Look at M4 GTS with Carbon Compound Wheels in the flesh.
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com 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. Also see: original announcement of the carbon compound wheels @ http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1214990 Hope you like them, greetings from Spain! :thump: High res images official images: Last edited by pochetemix; 04-27-2016 at 05:55 PM.. |

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

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.

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

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
