I would recommend checking tire pressures and potentially lowering them. If you don't fill the car with 4 passengers and a trunk load of cargo you really don't need 38-40psi in the tires. I always run 34-36 and it's much more compliant.

Anyone powder coat 892M wheels?

Does anyone have pictures of a X3MC with 892M power coated wheels in silver? I'm tired of black wheels and think silver would look great with Brooklyn grey. Thanks.

I found the PS4S to be much better than the stock tires.

Excellent, thanks - I found the wt and ET of the wheels so have your entry placed in the 'Wt Known' section (only 213 lbs so 7th lightest overall)!

Not aware of any Member sharing that exact concept, but here are 3 somewhat similar wheel designs with silver rather than black on three X3MC colors (grey, white and blue) which might give you at least a rough idea:

Gxs615's BC HCA 386 on Brooklyn Grey - https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...63&postcount=1

larsmin's BBS LM on white - https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showp...postcount=1232

If you don’t change the brake pads to IS1500/2000 they will turn black in a couple of hundred miles 🤣

To do that you need wider rims and that will cause major strut/suspension damage. There was a thread here where a dealer installed OEM size rear wheels up front by mistake that caused major damage.

Thoughts on the fitment

I made a post recently about having an 2023 x3m with pirelli scorpion all seasons but I realized there not all season. They are Pirelli scorpion winter tires. I am thinking on running MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL SEASON 4.

The fronts 265/40/21
the rear 295/ 35 / 21

with the stock 892m rims.

Also would I be able to sell these winter tires they are in pretty good shape.

As you've prob seen from the list, many are running those sizes in the PS AS 4. Regarding selling your old tires, there's always the Forum's Member Classifieds as a possibility if you can't offload them locally: 'Members Classifieds For X3/X4 and X3M/X4M'

Just ordered a set of Rohana RFX11 for my x3m. 20x10 et25 front and 20x11 et30 rear. These offsets give me a deep concave in the front and super deep in the rear. Will be running 275/315 setup for tires. Will update with photos once everything arrives and installed.

Excellent – here’s your prelim entry which I’ll edit and place in the list when we know the details (in ‘Gloss Black’ or ‘Brushed Bronze’ or ‘Titanium Silver’, tire Mnfr and model, and ideally the weights if you get a chance to put on a scale). Some sites state a weight of 37 lbs for each wheel but that seems heavy for rotary forged and shouldn’t be identical for the two sizes.

I’ll add more pictures when the weather cooperates. Tires are Arturo AZ850. I did not get a chance to weigh them.

Thanks for sharing - I've got your info entered in the List. Since the Atturo site shows tire wts, if you do ever have your wheels off and can weigh them even with the tires on I can use Atturo's wts to get est'd wts for the RFX11s.

Perfect - appreciate you sharing the weights. I've edited BlownLSX's entry and moved it now to the 'Wt Known' list, coming in at 246 lbs total. I also referenced you in the entry as providing the documented wheel wts.

Had to modify the rear so i can have it lowered with no rub. Front is good. No rubs.
Any spacers on this setup?

New wheel setup on.

Brixton RF10’s on Atturo AZ850’s.
21x11 +25 rear - 295/35/21
21x9.5 +20 front - 265/40/21

Good bit of aggressive stance on the rear but doesn’t poke obnoxiously far, no rubbing.

Next is lowering springs. Side note, if anyone has red calipers and wants to trade for blue, I’m down!
