M-System 1s

[8380 Labs]

I finally got these wheels on a few weeks ago, and had an opportunity to get some good pics recently. My favorite wheels of all-time.

















May be swapping them for some light 15s + sticky tires fairly soon, keep an eye on the classifieds.

Like them,guess that is why I have two sets for my E30's. What color scheme are you using underneath?

these are the staggered versions, which were never offered in the US - and they've been refinished. :)

when i have my e30M i'll get another set, that's the car they should really be on. they are OEM silver all over - faces/lips/covers.

Saw the pic on fb. They look fucking amazing. My favorite OE wheel, too. Can't wait to get a set, myself.

by swapping them for 15s i'd be choosing function over form, not that hard to understand. ;)

in what way?the m system are forged wheels designed for function and form.
They cool your brakes quite a bit more.they are not very heavy.
If you are having a full track car and want 4 sets of kosia with race tires makes sense.15 " wheel looks lame on e30 cars.You will get a lighter wheel with less rotation mass .It will not make a difference that you will notice.Dtm cars ran with 15,16,17,18 wheels.If you like 15" more thats fine just weird how you posted I finally got the wheels I want.They are your favorite wheels.Than at the end I might be selling them soon for 15" huh?lol

The m-system 1, while totally a fucking awesome and one of the best OEM wheels ever made, is still a 20lb wheel. Add the tire weight to that and you have a set up that is significantly heavier than a kosei k1 or tr c1 in 15" set with equivalent tires. Don't forget the change in gearing, or the affect of unpsrung weight on suspension and steering feedback, these are all thing a driver could notice if they're serious enough. Every little bit counts


*not bashing btw just arguing the other side. I also find it funny the op finally got his favorite and wheel and is planning to jump ship :?:

I feel you I agree just most guys never notice any of those things unless serious track guys.They m weighed 19 pounds on the scale lol.
I understand all the reasons why people want 15" just confused with his thread?
its all good we all want something so bad we get it and than once got what we want want something else.The wheels look very nice on his car.
its his car o what you want.Just realize unless its a track car 80% of the time its on the street and your car looks perfect with the m's and will look kinda lame with the 15"
