Rim design and purpose

The presented rim belongs to the Rims category and was developed as a rear wheel for BMW E81 and E87 models. The Double Spoke 313M pattern is a recognizable design from the M Performance range, combining sporty styling with functional spoke geometry, which promotes effective heat dissipation from the braking system.

The aluminum material of the rim reduces unsprung mass, which translates into more precise suspension reactions and better vehicle control. The dimensional parameters of the rim have been selected for proper fitment on the BMW hub and compatibility with factory braking and suspension systems.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The rim has been designed for the rear axle, with a properly selected diameter, width, offset, and bolt pattern. Such configured parameters allow for:

• proper seating of the rim on the hub without the need for spacers,
• maintaining the correct suspension geometry and wheel tracking,
• safe cooperation with factory mounting bolts,
• stable vehicle handling during dynamic driving.

Thanks to the use of the standard BMW bolt pattern and center bore, the rim is a natural choice when replacing or upgrading the rear wheel set in E81/E87 models, while maintaining the manufacturer's original design assumptions.

Material and performance properties

The aluminum construction of the rim provides a favorable compromise between strength and weight, which is important for both driving dynamics and comfort. The rim reacts better to load changes, and the properly selected spoke profile supports lateral stiffness, which is essential when cornering at higher speeds.

The Double Spoke 313M pattern also promotes effective cooling of brake discs and pads, which is particularly important in cars used in a more dynamic manner. This technical solution influences the stability of the braking system and the repeatability of performance during intensive use.

Characteristics of the used product

The rim is a used item, which in practice means that it has already been in service on a vehicle, but retains the functionality and mounting parameters required for further use. For many BMW drivers, this is a reasonable way to obtain an original M Performance rim while maintaining an attractive cost level compared to new components.

Before installation, it is recommended to perform a standard technical condition verification at a professional tire service, and if necessary, balance the wheel set after mounting the tires. This approach allows you to fully utilize the advantages of the aluminum construction and the 313M pattern.
