What do you call the Entry on the subject of tuning? For me and for many others, tuning begins with a lowering or a loud sports exhaust and, most importantly, with an increase in performance! It should also be clear that everyone interprets the topic of tuning differently and so in the end everyone has a different idea of ​​a tuned vehicle. But what if we take the trouble and compare our question with a statistic? Then we will find that for a good 60% of all vehicle owners with a desire for customization, the car is the first to receive a new wheel set and this is almost always at least 1 inch larger than the factory rims. The rims are replaced before the car is chiptuned or lowered. In other words, a new wheel set is the most common change to a vehicle, but it is also one of the most expensive. The choice to replace the rims is understandable, because the rims installed ex works are not necessarily unsightly, the problem is that the standard rims are selected in the manufacturer's configurator and of course thousands of other buyers of a BMW M2 F87 Coupe have that, also done. In addition, the wheel sets are of course trimmed in the direction of mainstream optics ex works because they should please the general public.

All very good reasons for a new set of rims! Why not look around in the HRE Performance Wheels repertoire to see if there is a fancy alternative? The owner of this metallic blue BMW M2 F87 Coupe has "the wheelset project"And the standard rims were exchanged for an HRE Performance Wheels type R101 in dark gray and an estimated 19 inches. Anyone who knows HRE can understand why it had to be this particular provider! HRE has high quality rims in its range and a diverse selection. As you can see, there was also something suitable for the newly launched coupe from Bavaria and the project could begin. Apart from the new rims, the M2 has received other changes that we are only aware of based on the photos, unfortunately we do not currently have exact details. No matter the focus is the new R101 wheelset which certainly does not miss the standard rims and is definitely an asset to the M2. The vehicle looks more dynamic and sporty, which is always a plus and should drive accordingly. We took a closer look at the photos and looked for differences compared to the production model and were able to determine a few more changes to the rims.

What we have learned from HRE Performance Wheels and have recognized ourselves, we provide you as usual in a summary below. If you notice any further changes, we would be happy if you post them in the comment box.
