The build begins...

The 963M is the lightest and most arguably aggressive looking rim in the BMW M Performance line up (my youngins call em 'cheese graters' or 'finger mincers'), presented here in Gunmetal Grey which I personally really like on the Black Sapphire Metallic M2 with 4 stage paint correction, Ceramic coating and Ceramic window tint.

I didn't think I'd notice the lighter wheels, swapping the semi-forges for the lightest in the range but I swear it actually rides a little better - that or the placebo is in full effect.

The car goes for its break-in service this week and then the real mechanical modifications begin.

I enjoyed building my G42 but am even more stoked to start wrenching on the G87, an already incredible machine.

I think the angular and aggressive look of the 963m compliment the boxy styling of the G87 beautifully. What do you guys think?

Thanks so much Justin. I think they suit the angular design of the G87 really well.

Next to fix the wheel gap

That looks incredible!

It will absolutely ride better. Lighter wheels have less inertial mass for the dampers to deal with, so the wheels settle quicker.

Appreciate it Tag thank you.

Makes perfect sense, it rode perfectly well before, but just +10% even better now I'm sure. Cant speak for any noticeable performance differences but the ride is bang on

You'll also notice the car will feel lighter and nimbler on its feet.

I haven't pushed it too hard just yet... I need to venture back out to some nice B roads to really feel them out - that and my break in service is in 48hrs

[M2siast]

Very nice! One of my favourites now.

The rims are very nice, but as on the M3/4 they look smaller than they are, they look like 18/19.

I like the design of the wheels but the flatness of the face kills it for me.

Color looks great with black!!

I love 963Ms, and that's a great look on BSM!

Definitely my favorite wheel bmw offers, looking good.

Thank you mate, appreciate that. Few more bits to go yet.

Yes I know what you mean, particularly in photos, oddly in person they look larger 19/20. I think it is the contrast of the grey and the tire, and the size of the lip and spoke. At any rate, once it is lowered I think that will make a huge difference also.

My thanks to FISH22 for the rims.

Yes I can appreciate these rims wouldn't be for everyone. I wouldn't like them on some cars myself.

For me personally though I think the flatness of the face works with the flatness of the G87 design.

Can these wheels be a port-installed option when we order the car?

I'm not entirely sure, but I assume most dealers would be happy to do it..

Be warned they're expensive

Yes, available. In frozen grey

Car looks fantastic! Pretty wild considering these wheels travelled to the other side of the world.

[Bumpinjeep]

They do look smaller visually than the stock wheels. I think what contributes to that is the stock height. Do the M Performance/KW H.A.S. and a set a wheel spacers to bring them out flush and it will transform the look of the car for sure. When they are flush with the body, it will show the concavity of the wheel more.

Your wheels are fantastic, know that.
I think the lighting in your photos really takes some of the excitement out. Let's get some spacers on there and some above-average lighting and this will slap!

Awesome car!
