Thanks for posting
They are very strong custom off-sets and lighter then most wheels in this price range. They have BMW center caps offer many colors. I agree on the look betwwen a CSL and a mix of an HRE P40 + Lighter than BMW Factory CSL with more rear concavity.
This specialized process begins with a low pressure type of casting and uses a special machine that spins the initial casting, heats the outer portion of the casting and then uses steel rollers pressed against the rim area to pull the rim to its final width and shape. The combination of the heat, pressure and spinning create a rim area with the strength similar to a forged wheel. During Flow Forming, the pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel. The resulting grain structure within the alloy of the wheel is linear, flowing in a single direction. This grain structure pattern, combined with the exceptional quality of casting required for the process, gives the rim area of the wheel huge mechanical strength, and elongation. As a result of these mechanical characteristics, Forgestar is able to reduce the thickness of the rim area resulting in reduced weight, without compromising strength and resistance to impact. 19×8.5 Front +34 245/35/19 Nitto INVO 23.4 LB Wheels 19×10 Rear +26 275/30/19 Nitto INVO 25.2 LB Wheels Nitto Invo tires can be rotated side to side Last edited by FASTTOYS; 05-22-2009 at 08:18 AM.. |

Wait, those weights are WITH tires??? Can't be...
What price point are these at? BBS LM territory? Or more like BBS CH? Considering a set of street wheels and I really like these. Also, what are you lowered on?

BBS doesn't make particularly lightweight wheels. They're excellently built, no question, but they're generally not light. Take a look at some of the weights of Neez or Forgeline or Champion/RAC Monolite. Now those are light wheels. I think the best value/performance/weight combination are MORR Alloy wheels.
That said, these wheels do look quite nice on the MC! |

MORR are nice I had them on my e46 M3 it took a long time till they arrived. They were 20 to 21LB when I put them on the scale. + they cost me over $900.00 more than the forgestar. When I purchased them I was never told what the off-set was and had no options to change it. Thanks I am happy with my choice for now. |
