HACK is correct. BMW factory bolts are conical...

Sorry it's been a while since I've looked at oe wheels / lugs

Here are some pics. Wheels look COOL - oh.. and my photo skills SUCK.. That and it was about 95 degrees out and really sunny anyway.. I"ll take some more pics over time -I'm sure of that.

Wheels look GREAT!

^nice

seems to me the rear of ur car sits a bit higher than the fronts ala big wheel gap?

bhoch · 04-09-2011, 06:41 PM

Thanks! I never really noticed that rear being higher then the front before. Probably just angle of the driveway and angle of the pic causing it. It's normally pretty much level.

They look fantastic! I initially wanted piano black and now I wish that I would have waited instead of taking the gunmetal Forgestars that just happened to be available. I think black lug bolts or wheel studs/nuts would really finish off the look.

^^ Thanks - I'm really quite happy with how they turned out. I am thinking about Black lugs/studs as well but With the silver on the edges of the emblems as well as the 3.0si lettering I think the silver actually looks pretty good. So, I am undecided on whether I what to swap them out or not. If I decide to remove the 3.0si lettering from the side, then black lugs/studs make a lot more sense from the "looks" standpoint - at least from my thoughts.

I think, tho, I do need to have red calipers and a red RPI scoop in the front to keep on with my Red/black theme. So over time I will be looking in to that.

Originally, I was looking at 710's but got talking (though emails) with the folks and **********s and they really were a big help in me making the decision on color and wheel that I wanted. They really did a great job at answering all of my questions - some times over again - and took the time to explain the different wheels and why I might like this one over that one, etc.. Being my first foray into BMW stuff - they were a greap help in me getting the look I wanted. EAS also was cool on emails as well. Good vendors we have here.

I assure you that my fronts do not have an offset of 20.

Here is a pic...its pretty flush and absolutely no rubbing. And yes, its getting coilovers next week so please don't make fun of my gap!

To clarify, the offsets marked on the boxes are NOT the offset/specs in which your wheels were built. The offsets of the wheels are determined by the experts at Forgestar on 99% of the orders and only about 1% of customers specify the offsets that they want. Forgestar will guarantee that your wheels will fit 100% without any issues such as rubbing yet provide you with the most aggressive and flush setup as possible which is exactly what you guys have experienced first hand

^^ and they do fit perfectly!
