No longer a teaser; gold bronze 827M

Rx-7ames · 02-09-2024, 12:19 PM

I just got my summer wheels in. I have been going back and forth between OEM wheels or something like Apex. I pulled the trigger on a set of 827M wheels in gold bronze.

It's not quite time to mount them, but I'll go ahead and get them ready. I'm also thinking of trying out a ceramic in them too. They look like a pain to keep clean.

Were you able to find a used pair or had to order new?

I lost patience and ordered new. I've kept my eyes open for used sets but they're either far away or people who want to scam you. I just ordered from my dealership.

I would definitely ceramic coat them, not just for brake dust but for protection and cleaning in general.

Beautiful wheels. Hope you got a nice employee discount on them. I was on the same boat and found a deal I couldn't pass up on 826M Bicolors. Still debating having them powder coated in a color similar to the 827M.

I did, but it is comparable with the lowest price I found from an online BMW parts distributor

Ive been thinking about going with these too. Would love to see how the gold bronze look with Toronto Red. Post some pics when you get them mounted.

I definitely will, but these will have my summer tires in them. It will be at least another month, maybe 6 weeks.

I got my tires mounted and tried my hand at ceramic coating. I used Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating. What a huge pain. My hands were cramped after getting inside all those spokes. It was not easy and I felt like quitting after the first wheel.

I don't know anything about ceramic coating. I think I might wait a few days and then put on another coating. I'm sure I missed places because of the difficulty getting in all the tight spokes. It took me about 1.5 hours. The barrels are easy so they got 2 coats. I might just hit the spokes again.

Rx-7ames · 03-16-2024, 02:28 PM

Here they are

Rx-7ames · 03-16-2024, 10:28 PM

Finally got them mounted up

Do you have any spacers on the wheels?

Yes. I got Dinan spacers and wheel bolts. 15mm front, 12mm rear.

Car looks great. Hope you can keep them clean! I didn't have the patience for it.

I recently switched out OEM to Isweep 1500 and brake dust is drastically reduced. No more cleaning 2-3x weekly.

YMMV
