BMW’s highly anticipated M Performance centerlock wheels are now available for purchase at North American dealerships for the first time.
These wheels were initially introduced in November 2023 for the G8X M lineup, including the M2, M3, and M4. However, BMW initially restricted their availability outside the United States, despite it being the second-largest automotive market after China.

The M Performance centerlock wheels are priced at $6,696 (SAR 25,110). However, the additional required hardware and tools significantly increase the overall expense, adding nearly $13,000 (SAR 48,750). This brings the total installation cost to approximately $19,995 (SAR 74,981).

- New hubs: $11,037 (SAR 41,388)
