FIR or P101 last day to decide

Padfan9 · 12-05-2020, 02:37 AM

I know most of you will say BBS FI-R but hear me out:

BBS : Does not come in custom offset, will need spacers, and would need them painted gloss black.

P101, comes in gloss black, custom offset, no spacers needed.

FIR could take months to come in. I like them a LITTLE better, the design with the holes is cool, but I also love the p101.

I'm going with:

21x10
21x11

Not sure on ET..... any ideas? I'm lowering on m550i springs.

Tires: Michelin pilot sport 4S

285/30/21 and 295/30/21

Check out @mr.felixdacat in Instagram (he's called Powerbeast in here).
He just got 21" FIRs on his F90. No need for spacers if you ask me.

P101, no need for spacers.

Well, that depends on the chosen offsets on the P101.
I've read in here that HRE recommended ET23 and ET29 for the F90, and the BBS are ET22 and ET24, so in my mind the BBS has a better fitment.

Thanks for that, just looked at that. Them look very good, maybe could pop out a bit more but honestly they're good. My second issue is color. I'm going gloss black, my entire car theme would require it, so I would have to get them painted as well.

He actually did do spacers, just spoke to him. 5mm in front. None in rear, not a big deal just something to consider.

Okay, good to know. But he has 275 in the front, and if you want 285 you might not need the front spacers.

Ah that's true. Why wouldn't someone do 285 in the front ... weird

I thought you were set on the HREs, but cool that you're getting the BBS.

I was! Until someone had a brand new seat of black 21s in stock right now, which is basically impossible, so instead of having to wait months I get them in a week.

Eric @ SupremePower? They had a 21" black set in stock and great shop to deal with. Are you going to lower the car?
