New Wheels Inbound
Finally took some pics of the new wheels. Amazing how hard it is to go out and do small task these days
Wheels have matte gunmetal Face and brushed bronze lips. Thought the bronze would work with the Dravit gray gold metallic flakes and it did No big question is lower or not. Some angles I really don’t need too Couldn’t help myself again. Ordered the set late April and they are already completed and should be in my possessions tomorrow Going to ceramic coat them before mounting so no on car pics for a little. Wheels are BC Forged 21x10 21X11 two piece forged modular Like how they came out Last edited by Ehloo; 06-20-2020 at 06:38 PM.. |

Awesome, they look good. Can't wait to see them on the car. Let me know how BC Forged is. They have some nice looking wheels but I've read mixed reviews on them with regard to quality/strength issues. Roads here in Hawaii suck so need something that won't crack or dent on one hit. I had Advan's on my last M3 and those were top notch quality and strength.

I haven’t heard any bad reviews so far. Actually ran a set on my m4 and couldn’t be happier
Usually the biggest knock is they are made overseas in Taiwan. I have no issues with that. Interesting enough wheel manufacture oversea are held to a much more stringent testing and have to receive Jwl and via certs. Wheels companies in US Don’t even need DOT certs From what I heard BC forged actually is one of two wheel companies that forged their own barrels and faces in house. This is one of the reason why they are so much better priced Signature, Z forged and some other brands all use BC forged facilities to make their wheels Quote:

BC rocks, great wheel for the price and construction too. I like the 21 inch set up with the step lip and exposed hardware.

Vic I have seen your history of cars and wheels for many years. Actually bought one of your sets off your w212 wagon. I remember you were always HRE. HRE makes a great product and I have ran a couple sets in the past. Haven’t seen a set of HRE’s on one of your rides for several years
As time has gone on my desire to mod my cars has remained but going with the most expensive wheels / brand has gone away. Quality/ safety/ price is most important now and I feel there are many wheel companies that can offer that. |

I did a few sets in the past few years on my Turbo S, R8, AMG GTS, but nothing my M5, Porsche GTS, or my E63S. I was using Klassen cause his forgings are done at the same place where HRE's are done. Of course HRE is defined by its fit and finish and unique weight savings but with 600 hp on these cars I was fine. I think now Im just done with aftermarket wheels but applaud your choices. My wagon with your wheels LOL:

I actually bought them from you but my buddy in OC ended up picking them up at your house and drove them up for me.

Going to play it safe for the first set and run the 275. Debating on lowering until there are more options but from the looks of things it might be a couple more months
