Pic Request - Velos S3 19" on M3/M4

[Merli]

There are literally eleventy billion photos of Velos S3 20" wheels on the F8X, but I can't seem to find ANY photos of 19" versions...

Has anyone got any photos? I would greatly appreciate to see some photos of how they fill the guards

Might be a stupid question but if that is all you're curious about and not how the physical wheel looks in that diameter couldn't you just look at any pic of a 19inch wheel with same tire you plan to run to see how it fills out?

Not a stupid question at all...

In my opinion, different wheel designs have a huge impact on the how big the wheel "looks"... Yes, two wheels might both be 19" wheels, but depending on how much dish they have, whether the spokes go right to the edge of the rim, whether the wheel is a very "open" or "closed face" design"..




All these things affect the way the wheel looks, and how "big" it looks when mounted with tyres and put on a car.

The S3 has a very open spoke design, which IMHO makes the wheel look a lot bigger than it really is. Perhaps I could get away with 19" version if they fill the guards out enough, then I have a much wider range of performance oriented tyres available to me (AD08, RE11s, RE71R, etc) that might not be available in 20"

I ordered the Velos S3's in 19". The pics can be seen in the Velos thread on the first page of this subforum, the ones with the gold bolts.

I'll get pics for you next week when they are on
