Group Buy : Forged Wheels for M3

[leeb8]

Hello People,

I intend to place an order for those wheels with a local supplier here in Melbourne,






Now, before I go any further I need to mention those wheels are manufactured in China.

ok for those still reading;

those pictures are exact wheels I am getting in 3D CAD drawings upon my request that he sent me.

they could custom make all kind of spec to suit and various colour options. I simply ordered standard F80 M3 spec at 19X9.5 ET22 fronts and 19X10.5 ET34 in brushed raw aluminium look.

For E9X M cars would be same except the rears need to be at ET25 or perhaps even ET20 that could fit under E90 M3.

those wheels will clear BBK and structure tested as he assured me. see below



Blue is good, Red means No No, no Reds in the picture so it is good.

and that supplier being a local Australian business, wheels come with local warranty , invoices etc hence I am quite keen to proceed. I am dealing with someone face to face locally and he has been around for over 10 years.

currently I have been quoted $7250 landed for the one set. the magic number we need is 4 sets for him to be able to discount the price thats worth mentioning in this forum ($6XXX.00) .

no real dead line or time frame here just as soon as we get 4 sets discount will apply and I will want to order them ASAP. But obviously if we can get more than 4 sets ordered even better perhaps even at better prices . he requires half the payment up fronts to proceed with orders.

I went through the whole ordering and designing process with him already hence I know, those wheels ( we all know where the design originated but lets keep it anonymous, in case you still havent worked it out those wheels are styled to look like certain design out there but they are not those, you get what I mean yo ! ) are seriously work of art and are extremely difficult to manufacture relative to any other wheels design out there. I cannot imagine the R&D went behind it initially.

come on people ! just need three other sets to make this group buy works and save some good bucks, interstate no problems as well as he regularly sends items interstates.

oh, and did I mention they weight in at 8.35kg for the fronts and 8.9kg for the rears !!! not just all look but no go yo !

TBH I think you will struggle to find people willing to pay $6-7k for a set of GMax wheels when you can buy forged Japanese wheels for the same price.

Agree ^^^ if you want lightweight forged wheels there are much better options imo

for that price I'd just get a set of BBS FI and call it a day

They would be double that price though ...

Leeb8 don't mean to kerb your enthusiasm for that particular design and price... but for a third of the price you can get Koyas in similar design, these are semi forged with custom offsets and BBK compatible..
Forged is only marginally stronger than Semi forged but not worth it for 3 x the price of what's available out there.
So unless your racing on the track every other day of the week.. you'd probably never know or notice any difference...

wow they look identical
