    F10 M5 - Rotiform BLQ-T - Brushed / Anodized Grape - Love 'em or hate 'em?

    I decided to get loud and aggressive with my wheel fitment and finish on my F10 M5. Truthfully, my goal with this setup was to have half the people that see it love it, and the other half to hate it. What better place to test this out than Bimmerforums OT.

    Proper wheels and tint usually make the car... not in this case.

    They look WAY to big I think. Smaller diameter and a bit more aggressive fitment and maybe you could pull them off.

    Honest question: What's an "aggressive" fitment?

    Sooooooo, be like everyone else? I had Carbon Graphite Vorsteiner V-FF 103 on it previously. The F10 M5 has enough power and enough sound once an exhaust is installed to back up a loud ass set of wheels, and yet everyone sticks with boring ass BBS or similar in weak ass fitment.

    Factory is 20". These are 21". Always, always, always go +1". Any more aggressive fitment, and they'd be poking out the fenders like crazy and would rub everywhere.

    On the F10 M5, most stick to a 9.5" wheel in the front at around a 30 offset and an 11" wheel at around a 32 offset. Give or take.

    In this fitment, with a 265 tire front and a 305 tire rear, there is very, very minimal room left. Any wider or lower offset and I would need narrower tires and/or extra camber to clear.

    I'll have additional photos showing the fitment in comparison to the fenders shortly.

    I like the wheel itself just not the color, never been a huge fan of bright wheels.

    You made the poll asking for opinions... then get butt hurt when no one likes your wheel/color choice.

    yup sounds like the internet.

    The car might in your words "have enough power and sound loud enough" to pull off bright wheels... but the car looks stock.

    And bright wheels maybe... purple... no.

    it looks cheap, and rightfully so the stock wheels are worth more than those rotiforms.

    I'm not butthurt...

    This is an $8k set of wheels. Stock wheels frequently sell on M5post between $2300 and $2800 including tires and TPMS.

    As stated, it was the goal for some to love and some to hate, as either way, people are taking about them. Between the video of them on a carousel created by Rotiform along with the photo seen in this thread, we're at well over 100k views in roughly 1 week, not including any of the views received by the multitude of shares done on Facebook and Instagram.

    I fully anticipated BFc members having strong distaste.

    I don't know whats worse... the fact that you spend $8k on rotiforms or that you're "doing it for the gram"

    whatever man you do you whatever makes you happy.

    I didn't spend $8k on them.

    I'm in the performance parts industry. Look at my IG and my user title.

    This is all about generating business.

    I get no discount at Mcdonalds and the only time I've eaten at Mcdonalds in the last 6 months is when the creator of the BigMac passed away.
