Too bad grey or black is not available without the stripe. I would buy right now if they were:iono:
Thanks for hooking this up though Gill:w00t:

Update!
The black w/red stripe version of this wheel is on the water. These are expected to arrive on 7-14.:thumbup:
The date can change but unless a customs problem arises they should be here within a few days of this date. As of today, it still looks like 7-27 for the grey w/red stripe and 8-30 for the silver w/no stripe. Gill

Stock is 49/52 and these are 45/48. They sit a slight bit farther to the outside.

That photoshop doesn't really do the wheel justice. It leaves out the depth that really makes the wheel.
Here's a better picture: (this is the GTS, not the GTS-R, but you get the idea.)

For those lamenting the red strip on these wheels I don't see it as a big deal. Simply have a wheel repair shop paint them out, or do it yourself, shouldn't be too big a job.

The extra expense and trouble make it less attractive compared to the alternatives - CSL reps, for example. I can't imagine doing it yourself with any degree of professionalism. To do it right you should strip/paint the entire wheel which is where the expense goes up. You could probably just take a magic marker or paint pen to the stripe, but that wouldn't hold up to either close scrutiny or over time.

I don't really want to modify my new wheels. Painting is not my forte, and I don't have any trusted shops close by. Seriously though, it would only take 3 miles for the brake dust to turn the stripe black. |

Let's just say that not every single person hates the red stripe (though I do). Given that, I think we are all waiting for Gill to get a set and mount them on his 1 and show us what they really look like. Maybe it's not as bad as I expect it to be. Red calipers would be the only thing on an SMG that might relate to the red stripe. Aside from that, however, I think blue calipers would go better with SMG. Assuming that the Breytons in the pict I posted above are black, I think they look pretty nice with SMG. Apparently, you just can't get them that way for the 1- sigh.

On the right car the red stripe looks great. I just don't think that it will look good on the 1er or any BMW for that matter. The red stripe is more of a JDM kind of look. I think that the red stripe would have looked great on my S2000:iono:
