I am thinking of ordering another set in the style 666m from the f80 competition but in x3m specs. If anyone might be interested in the style 37 parallel replicas, they may be up for sale.

Love the look, hate the cleaning. Specially between the spoke and barrel.

Have you tried Wheel Woolies, makes cleaning the barrel of the wheel easy and saves your hands from injury. They even make one for a cordless drill...

Those are perfect for that area in between I mentioned and most of the barrel.

And I would probably buy them, if I knew I could reach the entire barrel on both, my X3M and M40i. The brake caliper is the deal-breaker

And yes, every time I wash the wheel, I end up with cuts and bruises trying to reach inside all the areas. My wife doesn't understand the commitment

I saw Schrader 28238 on Rockauto doesn’t come with valve stem and washer. Do you need to buy them separately?

As someone who had this specific request and it went missed, I’d be weary if they can make a specific center cap size that differs from what the original size is, I.e. BMW OEM center cap size comes in 68mm or 56mm but if you wanted 666M Wheels with 73mm center cap holes, they’ll likely not be able to do that since they’re “copy and paste” a design template. So unless the original design has that specific size I don’t think it’s within their capabilities to do customize center cap size, they seem to be able to customize other aspects of it though.

ok because when china makes the wheels they make em with 68mm center caps. but im asked them to make them 56mm to accept 2019 x3 m40i bmw spec caps or bbs original 56mm caps. i just need to get the cap specs for them.

Get the SCHRADER 28238 from Rockauto. Plug and play for under $100 for a set of 4. Using them right now with no problems.

Bro tell me about it. I kind of regret getting 826m style wheels. I miss my easy to clean TE37s and BBS CH-Rs lol on my previous cars. I almost want to get a new set of wheels.

Has anyone got the SCHRADER 28238 TMPS sensors with black stems? Any issues if so?

I ordered these from TPMS com and had them installed in my xywheels last Tuesday along with a new set of tires. The sensors read right away, no issues there. However, today I had a flat and found that the nut on the valve stem was loose. Checking the other valve stems, all of them were loose enough to turn by hand but the others hadn't lost any air.

I couldn’t find it (maybe I’m blind) but I currently am on the factory 718M 21” wheels and toying with the idea of 892M style like others have on here. I haven’t seen anybody stick with 21” and most seem to go with 20.

Has anybody ordered 21” 892M style wheels in a specific width / offset that sits flush? I’m running 15mm spacers on my 718M wheels now and happy with the overall fitment

These were recommended to me by a few members on here. I’m about to order them I’ve heard nothing but good things. Could they have been installed wrong ??
