2-piece BC Forged: Concave or deep dish?

W/// · 07-12-2013, 06:56 AM

Just wanted to get a feel on what you guys think. I've narrowed it down to these 2 choices and I think they'd look great on my Sparkling Graphite.

Concave (BC Forged HB04):

Deep dish. Similar to what member Robmaster has on his car :

BC Forged SN13:

Finish will be polished lip, and either gunmetal or matte gunmetal.

What do you think? I'd be happy with either to be honest.

My vote goes for the HB04

Nati Beastcat · 07-12-2013, 07:36 AM

HB04 with concave. Gunmetal centers with brushed black lips

If you don't plan on running a bbk the concave will be even more insane... They'll ask you at the time of order if you're going to.

HB04 Gunmetal>that's what I voted for.

Nati took the thought right out of my head. HB04 with either brushed black lips or regular bushed to add contrast to the gunmetal. I was never a fan of full gunmetal wheels as they just look dirty IMO. I'm picturing the LM's on Benvo's car as a form of reference.

Thanks for all the responses thus far. I'm set on HB04's, now just have to pick the finish.

Combos in contention (no specific order)
1) Brushed face, polished lip
2) Gunmetal face, polished lip
3) Gunmetal face, brushed silver lip
4)Matte gunmetal face, polished lip

Learning towards 2 and 3. Brushed silver lip would be such a nice contrast.

Decisions decisions.

Just to give you an idea. These were my HB29's brand new from the box.

Brushed black lip with gun metal centers

Thanks! That's actually really useful to see what the brushed surface looks like. The only reason I don't want to go dark colors on the wheel is because my car is already gunmetal, def need some contrast.

Gunmetal face + brushed silver lip might be the winner here. Max concave

RD1M3 · 07-12-2013, 11:50 AM

+1 on that. I'd say gunmetal with the brushed silver lip over a polished lip.

Definitly have to go brushed barrels over polished

///M3THOD · 07-12-2013, 02:43 PM

Is this even a question? HB04 hands down!

I was a little groggy this morning

Enforcer · 08-07-2013, 12:19 PM

Did you ever get around ordering a set? I'm thinking about jumping on some HB04s myself and would love to see pics.

M3Carbon · 08-07-2013, 12:31 PM

1) Brushed face, polished lip

I think the metallic in your car color will be set off by the polished accent. One man's opinion...

I ended up getting a used set of HRE C20's. Just an offer I couldn't refuse. But yea the HB04's would have been fantastic.

Talk to Eric from PYSpeed, he'll help you out.

I was thinking about the same, brushed lip and polished lip. These rims look soo sweet I'm surprised there aren't more people rocking BC rims.

W/// I wouldn't pass up on HRE's either. Thanks I'll give him a buzz.

Same here. It would have been very nice to go a different route than everyone else. Eric was super helpful.

This is what I ended up doing:
