^^ I agree. BMW needs to take some wheels styling cue's from Audi. The bi color 951 looks pretty good in person but the issue is that the front wheel is way too small for a car this size. RS6 comes with 23"s!!

One option i might explore is seeing if the rear 21" wheel fits in the front. It would look much better than the chubby tire 20" that is there now.

Does anyone have any idea why the US configurator shows the 951 wheels with ‘High Performance’ tires, while the 952 wheels come with ‘Performance’ tires? Is one tire a summer performance tire while the other tire is an all season?

The RS6 comes standard with 21’s, 22’s are optional.

I got confused with the RSQ8 i saw recently.

BMW has always had ugly wheels on their cars from the factory. This is no different, although the 952 are particularly dreadful.

I went with the 952’s on a dark graphite car. I’m not the biggest fan of black wheels, so I might get the black parts powder coated something closer to a titanium, but keep the machined parts as they are.

I DID get CCB’s though, otherwise these look like a disaster to keep clean.

952 looks the best. The smaller front wheel ruins a look a bit. Beautiful sketches by Jose Casas



Or 951 in black

Let's be honest. Audi factory wheels for the most part are hideous. RS8 cough cough

At the dealership both 951 and 952’s came with the same Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z

I really like the Performance wheels and will go for them when I place my order. They let the brake/calipers shine through nicely.

They are the 952s.
A bit busy for my taste and all that ‘webbing’ of spokes hides the ventilated discs which I like to see.
Went with 951 myself.

How do you order the M performance wheels? I agree with you on the looks. Have 951 jet black ordered on mine with CCB, but don’t love them. Wish the G90 came with better wheel options.

Not sure. I’ll get the 952s and then order the Perf wheels, swap the tires and then put winters on the 952s. By the time prices drop and I order I assume they’ll get this all sorted…

What do you think looks the best with this color/car??

Had no choice as I picked up a launch car, not bad. I would have preferred black gray

I love the wheels on my R8. And the wheels on the RS6 are great, also.






I'm less enthusiastic about the wheels on my S8, but they are still better than the BMW 952.
