261M's are one of the best looking wheels for this car, and exactly why I haven't changed...yet.

If I had my way I'd have 261M's in 19" with deeper concave...and 8-8.5" front and 9-9.5" rear.

Chandon · 02-28-2014, 07:38 AM

Mm.. 261M's

swagon · 02-28-2014, 03:43 PM

Yeah, they're not bad at all.

Poop, wrong thread (color) haha.

Cozy? How did you lower your 1er mate? that looks exactly what I am looking for, perfect just perfect, I have the 261's also so hopefully any help or advice would be gratefully received.

Cozy · 04-14-2014, 03:41 PM

Thanks for the comments guys

.

Its lowered on Eibach Pro-kit springs plus a few M3 bits which do nothing to the ride height. To get the look in the photo you'll need those springs, 10mm spacers up front and 12mm out back.

The car now however looks like this...

fiardor · 04-15-2014, 02:11 PM

Thanks for reply Cozy will definitely look into eibach lowering.

Erm can I sit on the fence on the new wheels?

Nice Cozy but the 261's did look devastating but then I'm biased haha

fancy selling the 261's?

Was gonna get mine powder coated but will wait maybe till a nice amazing superb set comes along cough cough

To be honest, I'd get yourself a nice set of KW, Eibach or Bilstein coilovers as it's exactly the same amount of effort to install.

Wheels are a personal choice. My issue with the 261M was never its style, more so it looks too small for those big arches. The VMR's on there now are perfect for me and actually a fair bit lighter.

You could probably get your wheels sprayed for less than it's cost to buy mine

. Besides, they're in storage for the day I may need them or sell the car.

Yeah about £260 for powder coat so will wait till I get paid.
And yes the 261's are only 18s and yours do sit nicely now and will definitely do something with the suspension after seeing how yours sits so nice.

They look like VMR 19's just a curious question? doesn't putting bigger wheels affect the speedometer? Just what I was told as I remember
