And I've got some radinox goodness coming too...

with this Hartge will look better than with Futuras..very nice.

Radinox is way to go...no problem with rubbing and polishing

You're onto a winner with those Hartge, as much as I love the OZ, and yes they are cool but the cars cooler than the wheels, colour looks a bit flat against the San Marino but seeing the silver centres and radinox dishes those wheels are killer, massive step forward. Still my favourite F80 regardless.

Thank you! First time buying radinox and the sparkle is just amazing!

Thank you! Keeping both sets either way so it is easy to change the look.

Installed tires today. 255/35 Michelin PSS (original size). The front wheels are 9" et12 and has a 10mm spacer due to the brake caliper. Rear is fitted with 15mm spacer to compensate for 0.5" bigger lip - which is the plan.

Unfortunately the tires are way too wide to air out. So I need to order narrower front tires or change tire brand. And maybe buy new barrels to make them 9,5". Really liked the Hankooks on my E46 M3, but this one has a lot more power... I must admit i like the look tho.

I don't want to sound bad or something, but the car looks better with the Hartge wheels. Its insanely clean and aggressive at the same time. Amazing!

I really really like the Hartges too. But the Futura is the holy grail for me, which makes it a tough decision. I'm keeping both sets so I guess I will just swap wheels when I want to.

Futura's! That profile shot oh my..

[C2_mad]

what size are those? 18"?

i like both wheels, but i doo think the silver of the hartage wheels pops more with that blue. either way you cant go wrong

19". That's why they are so rare.

True, but in real life the Futuras pop more. The grey metallic is really nice.

I honestly think you played the Hartge's down by not slicking up the tyres, get those bad boys glazed up and let us see them

This was just a test fit to see how they look. I need narrower tires to make them work, and also I need to order parts to finish the rear wheels.

Smashed it mate!

im gonna go against what most are saying and say i love the futuras more than the hartge's, despite both being cult wheels.

Perhaps some polished lips on the futura's at some point to throw some contrast against the san marino bro?

Thank you! Futuras will stay for a while.

Polished lips would be nice, but that's not the look I'm going with on these.

Haven't updated in a while. Have detailed the whole car and finally finished the Hartge's. My goal was to have as little stretch as possible and still be able to tuck. Which I think I couldn't have gotten any better.

That is pure sexiness right there... absolute stunning!! You have a new fan over in Cape Town, South Africa!!

Gotta admit, I am a JDM kinda guy, but I can appreciate a good build... keep up the great work Bro.
