Need a favour from somebody with a F8x M3/M4 Competition pack

Hi Guys

I'm busy looking around at 20" wheel options to upgrade my F30 3 series. I'm a huge fan of the F8x M3/M4 competition pack wheel (Style 666M), but can't seem to find info on the net from someone who has actually tried them (It's much wider than the standard F30 wheels).

Would any of you guys be willing to allow me to test fit two of your wheels with the stock tyres (one front wheel and one back wheel) to my car to see the fit and look? I'll just need about half an hour of your time to do it and I'll come to you - I am based in JHB.

All I want to do is fit two of your wheels onto my car, see if it fits and how aggressive the offset is, and then put them back onto your car.

Appreciate the help.

Front Wheels: 9Jx20 ET29 (p/n BMW 36112287500) 
Rear Wheels: 10Jx20 ET40 (p/n BMW 36112287501)

I think they will fit.. just not with m4 oem tyre sizes

I think so too. Problem is when fitting wheels which are at the borderline of compatibility, fitting and looking proper are sometimes not the same thing. I want to make 100% sure that I'm happy with the look and it doesn't end up looking like a tow truck

The front won't fit. It's too broad and aggressive, even more so for the f30. The rears will work, the front I think is gonna stick out.

Would still be curious to see how this pans out though. Good luck bro.

Front definitely wont fit.
Where you planning on getting an oem set if i may ask?
There are reps easily available that are made to fit the F30...
Keep in mind they reps...

I haven't found a set as yet - just toying with options at the moment.

These reps that you are referring to - can you direct me to them? I haven't seen 20" reps with aggressive offsets here so far - the only ones I've seen were 19s. Also, any idea on quality?

Autostyling has, on quality, i have no idea.
My guess nowhere near oem quality but price difference already suggests that.
I dont think they will simply disintegrate while you driving but my guess is they will be more prone to cracks when hitting potholes than oem wheels will be.

I had a look at their site - they only have 19s with conservative offsets - this is the problem with most reps on the market - they take a great looking wheel and due to poor fit, it makes it look bad.
