Noticed most if not all of the 20s went with +25 instead of something lower. Is this a fitment issue with being on springs and rubbing the fender?
I'm on stock height with 19x9.5 ET22 squared.

No different supplier. I bought them before they started the group buy.

Love the color contrast between the deep red and bronze/gold wheels. Surely a unique combo amongst the sea of M40s on the road.

What's that color code?

I'm not sure about the color code. I asked for the BMW GOLD BRONZE C5B (22-00-44). I gave them the code but they said they can't use the paint code but would try to get it as close as they can.

It's a pain to keep clean though lol. After a week it's more of a dark bronze. I want to change to less dusty pads when it's time to change brake pads.

I couldn't find a paint code for the finish I wanted so I requested frozen gold and they sent a few sample photos until I found one that wasn't too bronze or dark.

The lighting plays a huge roll in the look outdoors.

I'm using the ebc red stuff ceramic pads and they do a good job at dust mitigation but if I don't wipe them down every few days, even in direct sunlight I lose that bright gold shine.

I try to do a wipe down with a wet rag then 2 coats of turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic wet wax twice a week. This seems to do the trick to prevent dust accumulation and also and road grime from building up.

Ever try this Turtle Wax/Graphene product for tires, it drys to a matte finish and lasts for months, great product and helps to keep the tires clean.

This is good to know. I like both the bronze/gold colours you both have so it'll most likely play a part in my decision over the winter

Does anybody recall how many days between getting the video of your finished wheels and delivery? I got my video last week and already have the FedEx tracking number but figure it’ll take 2-3 weeks for them to get custody of the boxes.

It will take about 3 weeks by boat to get to port. It was about 1 week from manufacturer to boat, then another week from FedEx to door. This all depends on your location I’m on the east coast so plenty of port of entries here.

Some less some more. Mine took about 60-70 days but I had 2 weeks delay so they can put some holes in the spokes

The BKU Racing folks got their wheels produced and boxed to ship 19 days quicker than the EBay source did on their set. Assuming the boxes got to port and onto the water 19 days quicker, this is how long everything should take.
