What do you think of the uberturbine wheels on the M3P?

[funtommy]

A much less expensive alternative to consider is Rimetrix's Orbitals - replacement for the Aerowheel covers. They have a bit of an uberturbine look. I've got some on order (which ship much sooner than the 5 weeks the site claims, btw). Of course, they also probably damage pretty easily. But they're much less expensive to replace, also.

Kim Java did a review of them on YouTube:

Mine looked great - even better after I paid the guy to repair the one I curbed in the first 3 months owning the car (DOH!)

The only wheels I like on the M3 are the 19 inch "chrome" ones. I really hate all black wheels. It's just my opinion so please don't get insulted or bent out of shape by it, but I think black wheels on any car are dull and ugly.

IMHO they look nice but will easily be damaged in some situation... One was damaged by rock-sized gravel on the road and the other dented at the car wash (rails on the floor). If you mainly drive highways or have nice roads where you live, you'll like them. Otherwise, swap them.

I tried my best babying them but failed miserably ^^

Did you end up having to replace that tire with the gash in it? Getting the certificates from Discount Tire day one for mine...

I've had my M3P for about a month and have not received any negative comments toward them. I've actually had people complement them. I honestly like the look, and that's really all that matters. I do plan on swapping them out during the winter months due to the low sidewall and pothole midwest.

Not yet, even though I should (for obvious safety reasons). I will have the wheels repaired and sell them.
I'll swap them with 19" with a bit more sidewall.

i'll sure miss the look but not the stress driving them

I really like the look of these but if they are problematic I will be doing the same as you. Sorry to see that happened.

I love the look of them!

I think they look great

 

[fuddy]

Those look great! How much did they cost and how much were you able to get for the uberturbine?

I sold the uberturbines for $3500 and the zero-g's ran me $2900

 

[fuddy]

Do you have white or black interior?

Black, here's a better pic. To me it's no comparison between the Zero-G's and the Uberturbines. This should be the stock wheel for the P3.

Facts:
They DO damage easily. That isn't the wheels natural color so the top layer can start to chip away after damage.
Tires DO look stretched and basically ARE stretched. I wouldn't track on 20" Ubers (mine came with Pirelli PZero's).
Lip protecting the wheel does NOT protect it at all, I curbed both front wheels in the first 2 weeks.
They are heavy.

I personally swapped out the stock 19s on my M3P and track with 18/9.5J/+35 wheels. I don't think I can ever go back to 19s after using 18 inchers. They are simply just very light and gives a lot of performance advantages vs the 19/20 inch counterparts.

agreed. should be the stock set up for the M3P

 

[ODWms]

Agreed!!! Can’t imagine why it’s not!

What is mean tby getting certificates from Discount Tire?

I should have kept my mouth shut.
I spoke poorly about the uberturbines with the stretched pirelli's and it backfired.
Ran over a big screw that was too big to repair, cost me $450 for a new tire.

They look good, but I miss the old performance wheels. The subtleness of a similar wheel only darker was classy. Also the zero-g’s would be a great factory oprion.
