- Light forged wheels require new poles, considerably increasing overall costs.
- Dealers need specialized tools, including a torque key of 737 LB-PI, for installation.
- Although the wheels are absurdly expensive, it is undeniable that they seem incredible.
For a normal street car, there are very few advantages to use central wheels. They are often painful to install, require expensive specialty tools that most people do not drag in their garage and can cost an arm and a leg to buy. For example, the new Centrlolian wheels of 963m introduced by BMW M in the United States, which will bring buyers nearly $ 20,000.
Initially introduced in Europe thanks to the M Performance Catalog for the end of 2023, these wheels have just made their way to the United States. Designed for BMW M3, M3 and M4, they measure 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the back. They look sexy like hell and complete these M models perfectly – if you fall twenty -when, they would be better.

The wheels alone cost $ 6,696, which is not scandalous for a set of light forged rims of a large car manufacturer. But the central wheels require specific hubs, and this is where things become expensive. According to the BMW blog, these hubs will cost you a high milk of $ 11,037. If you want a dealer to manage the installation, you will also need a $ 567 release tool, a central wheel socket of $ 323, a torque greenhouse of $ 1,270 capable From 737 LB-PI (1,000 Nm), plus $ 49 for Synthes Gap fat 1 and $ 51.99 for the aluminum paste Wuerth Al 1100.
Central wheels like these are excellent for racing teams, because they allow the wheels to be easily removed and replaced. However, they are painful to adapt to all doyers, and if you get a puncture with central wheels, you will probably be left stranded and unable to replace them unless you drive with a 6 -foot torque key wherever you go.
According to Road and trackBMW USA currently has only seven sets of these wheels in stock. If the request is high enough, others could be brought back from Germany. So, if you have money to burn and want to make your MO by the car even more ready for the track, BMW is happy to take your money.
