M-sport rim with Sport trim (pics inside)

G5Ti · 03-05-2009, 02:34 PM

Anyone who's followed my diatribes on here knows that I love my 128, but I also love the M-sport wheel from the 135 Sport Package. So today, I have the standard "sport" wheel, now with M-rim. I love the combo, and the feel of the wheel is fantastic. The fit is just fine with these pieces, too, which is something I questioned before the install.

Enjoy!

I did the same thing and I think the fit is not quite as perfect as the normal sport wheel with the trim you have, but it certainly decent enough so you don't notice unless you are feeling the back side of the trim.

I love mine as well... so much nicer than the standard sport wheel...

do you have pics of the backside? what do you mean that it does't have the proper fitment? I'd like to do this as well, but I have my concerns of fitment.

BTW where did you get your wheel?

I'll have to take a pic of the backside - I didn't notice anything unusual.

My dealer gave me the (unexpected) hookup on the wheel. They would not offer the same price to anyone else, and they even included installation.

That said, Bullitt (on here) is selling a mint-condition wheel for a great price. That's who I was going to buy from. The other great contact is Dan@united, who had the next best deal ($385).
