New Wheel Impressions

LateBraking · 03-14-2011, 03:07 AM

Hey all!

My good friend's friend was considering the release of a forged wheel for E9X M3's, and wanted to know peoples' impression on the following design. It's a unfinished prototype of the wheel, but he wanted to know if people would be interested in this type/style of design. Feel free on the comments, and thanks for looking all!

Niiccee i like it!!

alpina527 · 03-14-2011, 04:37 AM

Sorry, not for me. I don't like the machining marks or the Forged logo. I assume the machining marks won't appear on the production version?

How is it for strength?

I dont like logos on my wheels...

chris s · 03-14-2011, 08:44 AM

Not bad, nice design... the forged stamp needs to be toned down or removed altogether!

Mark's M · 03-14-2011, 09:03 AM

Too thick....although I can't place where exactly. Overall, the design is nice (traditional) but it looks a little clunky???

My thoughts exactly - Maybe the center looks a little off. But I do like the overall design. Similar to the BBS FI

Cool, keep the comments coming guys, good and bad. I'll pass them on to my friend later, so that the wheel guy knows.

I'm sure the machining marks won't be there on the final product, this was just a rough draft that he churned out in order to get a real-life impression of what the wheel might look like. I'll let him know the FORGED is no bueno as well.

Looks great, just make sure it comes in an 18 with customizable width/offset

Grail05 · 03-14-2011, 06:14 PM

i doubt the logo will be on the wheel since its just a proto....

I LOVE IT...

finally we got a copy of the FI.. BBS just dont price it too high...

Looks just like bbs f1's, and forged IS the way to go

GOLFFRR · 03-14-2011, 10:04 PM

i like it Brian. would love to see some mounted pics if that ever comes about

Definitive · 03-14-2011, 10:08 PM

Like.

ooowowizstev · 03-14-2011, 10:48 PM

Looks good to me! More concave, less "forged"

11' AW M3 · 03-15-2011, 12:47 AM

not a fan of that style @ all. I am probably in the minority but I think the bbs f1 is hideous as well
