Struggling to Find 18" BBK Friendly Wheels...

wheeladdicts · 03-11-2010, 06:21 PM

ADV.1 has 18" forged that will clear the BBK...

As for the updated load rating tests, I have contacted Forgestar to send them over for us to share to the members on this forum.

Please do because the original 1200 lb (544 kg) load rating is quite a joke...

If the load rating has been upgraded and they fit BBK's, I'd be interested too.

18" TE37 in 18x9.5 +22 will clear 380mm Brembos so I'm sure the stoptechs will be no problem.

I so want some TE37s for track, just wish they were a little less pricey, but you gotta pay to play.

Do the TE37's come in 18x10 or 18x10.5?

What are the weights of the 18x9.5, 18x10 and 18x10.5?

Can you PM me a price?

Would be nice to compare the wheels, especially for Te-37s, G2s, and Advan RS.

Here you go... a lot of wheel weights here.

Thank you, but I have seen this thread several times. It is lacking several wheels in 18" size to compare. I was hoping someone on here could help provide the size options and weights for the 18" wheels listed above.

dawgdog · 03-14-2010, 07:33 PM

I've been very happy with my 18" TE 37s. They are 9.5x18" with an et of 28. I have AP racing 368mm brake kit but the 380 Stop Tech kit will fit with room to spare. The 380 Brembo will be tight.

Took a while for me to get these wheels but I've had them 9 months and about 9-10 lapping days. They weight a little over 18lbs.

GewoW · 03-14-2010, 08:05 PM

Is there a reason you aren't considering CCW Wheels. You need spacers, but other than this, is there any reason?

Just asking because I would like to know myself.

rzm3 · 03-14-2010, 08:10 PM

I consider testing/certification to be very important on wheels. I can't seem to find CCW's certification information on their web site.

GewoW · 03-14-2010, 08:22 PM

you can email them i'm sure they'll respond to your query. they're usually really good in customer service. i'm not in any way tied to them, but i have just heard too many good things - just not popular w/ bimmers.

OK. I did see a 'Vette with CCW this weekend. Just forgot to ask him about his wheels

I take it you don't have to own a Porsche to be a member in your state?

I just ordered a set of ADVAN RS from RennSpec for my track set up.
18x9.5 ET25
18x10 ET 20

Wanted TE37s initially, but the ADVANS have much better pricing and still a great light wheel.

Nice! Post the weights and some pics of the fitment when they arrive.

I am still on the fence for a track setup myself.

Will do.
They are going to take 8-12 weeks to get here unfortunately.

aus · 03-16-2010, 10:20 AM

Anyone try the D-Force wheels?
They seem to offer a lot of space for BBK and are VERY light. They seem to be on sale too.
Could someone give some input as to what sizes and spacers to run? Would to 10" rear fit? I saw a set at the track and it looked like he has some pretty big spacers on.

http://store.bimmerworld.com/d-force...4690-p894.aspx

They also have some wheel studs too.

I have no affiliation with BW; I just opened an e-mail with this info and thought I would share.
