513m Wheels on e82
So I'm planning on changing my 1er's wheels pretty soon and have done my fare share or research, I looked at VMR as well as Breyton but I never got over 513m wheels as they look amazing. From what I understood they wont fit measuring at 18x9.0 Front (ET29) 18x10.0 Rear (ET40).
So today my friend sends me a link http://https://europeanautosource.co...ech-sport.html and from what I see its the 513m wheels on a 1 series. Im a total noob at wheel fitment and all but any idea on how I'm able to get them on my ride, as in set up and all. I'm gonna be running a stock suspension. |

Jesus, that looks bad. Wheels themselves are great, but that poor thing is just awful to look at. Wheels poke too much and tires are very stretched. Very bad fitment.
Check out Apex if you are looking for a relatively cheap lightweight set of wheels.

Best bet if you're hung up on the looks, which I get: its personal, would be to try to find a replica wheel which looks somewhat similar in 8" width 45ish offset and run it square. Then you'll be able to appropriately tire the thing.

Thanks for the share, great to see them installed on a 1. I'm also hung up on these wheels as they are forged and lighter than Apex. 18" 513M, front = 8.92kg (19.6lbs) 9JX18 ET:29, rear = 9.44kg (20.8lbs) 10JX18 ET:40. As far as the poking out, I think they would be perfect for a 1M conversion.

Doesn't Apex make ARC-8 in E9x M offsets? Good affordable alternative, not forged but still lighter than 359's; otherwise, you'd have to go BBS RI-A or some HRE. I have found these pics for you. https://medias.motorsport-passion.co...26ac0bc5f0.jpg https://medias.motorsport-passion.co...c3f57e6797.jpg

Yes, APEX make the correct offsets for my car in the EC7 and I like it very much. I actually owned a set on my first 1M but I really like the 513 so I might be willing to run a spacer in the rear if I have to. I agree, I am not fan of spacers but if I can find a good deal on set of 513s, I would try it. I don't like how the ARC8 look on the 1M, though I like them very much on other cars. The BBS RIA is very nice but only comes in 9.5" front and 10.5" rear so you run incorrect tire sizes and they stick out past the fenders in the front unless they special order the 18x9.5 ET27 version from japan but they are very expensive and i am not sold on the look. If I thought they were the best looking wheel, i would spring for them but I found the spokes too rounded as they come out and the center area and center cap too small that it looks weird. Funny becauase the FI has a slightly larger center and less rounded spokes and looks great to me. These are just really cool wheels and I might gamble on the spacer working out OK. here is a pic of my first 1 with APEX EC-7. My current one is Orange. |
