So what is the latest on the GTS-Rs without the stripe (black and matte gray)? I can see them on the tirerack website, but they aren't showing up as available for the 135i.

What are the rim measurements? 18x8 and 18x8.5? What tires are you running?

They are the same as the other GTS-R. Myself and Mineo77 are going to run the stock tires for now. Later I will put Dunlop Star Spec's on 225/255.

235 up front can work but you may need 5mm spacers and some negative camber. 245's for sure wont with out spacers and neg camber.

So you are saying the Matte Gray without the stripe won't be available?

Correct. No plans at this time to carry them.

i just do not get it...many members here want a simple Gunmetal color rim and Breytons are pretty nice, and i am even considering them , but no way will i order a silver rim or one with red stripe...totally poor marketing if you ask me...What is the big deal for Breyton to make a run with Grey or Gunmetal rims that fir the 135i.....just poor marketing and IMO they are missing dozens of potential buyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's just the issue...Breyton DOES make a matte gray GTS-R without the stripe, it's just that the only US distributor of Breyton, TireRack, is not electing to carry this particular style.

So are the black painted GTS-R considered a matte black? They seem to have some gloss to them in the picture on TireRack.

I thought so too, but ended up ordering them anyway. Have you seen them in person? In reality, the red stripe is subdued and looks good IMO!

Just get the ones with the red stripe, drive around for 10 minutes and the brake dust will hide that stripe and you're good to go

Are the matte grey GTS-R's in question different than the ones I just saw in this Tire Rack ad in the July issue of European Car magazine?

My GTS-R's without the red stripe and PS2 225/245 arrived yesterday but are still piled up in our garage. After a couple of wax treatments (prevents better the sticking of the brakedust), I hope to mount them tomorrow. Pictures indeed will follow.
As far as the Matt Grey concerns: it's a really matt dark grey and it feels rather a little rough. Thus no shine nor satin at all.

Hey Pol,

keep us updated!! I'm really interested in the same wheels (but then in matte black of Silver) so I'm curious to see what you think about the wheels when fitted...

Enjoy your weekend

Yes, the versions we do carry (matte grey w/no red stripe) don't fit the 1series.

FWIW the red stripe on the matte grey is not really that offensive. I didn't want the stripe, but went for the wheels anyway, and I love how they look. Check my garage for some pics if you want.

so you can get all matte black without the red stripe? Please post a picture ASAP dude... i wanna see it..agreed it would look pretty hot on my Red Sedonna 135i

what is so ODD about this is that Breyton make the rim for the 135i...and the ONLY thing we are talking about here is the color....You would think they could do a run in any color they wanted...and Gunmetal is a VERY popular color....

I'm not sure if they're "matte" black or not, but here you go:
