Has anyone tried these yet? Forged wheels resembling the BBS CH-R. 18x10 ET25 weighing 19.3 lbs.

Found an older thread, but these don't seem to be too popular for some reason.

At this price point, they should be a no brainer especially as they barely cost more than Apex... Strongly considering a square 10 setup in anthracite.

I was thinking the same. They seem to share similarities with the Titan 7 wheels as well. Prefer this design though, as the spokes look cleaner.

I have two sets in 10.5 ET27 for my E9Xs. It's a fantastic wheel. My tire mounting guy is always impressed at least two of them balance with no weights
Besides that they are a pretty design! What's not to like? |

Also, 10.5" in the front as well? What suspension are you running and I assume you need spacers?

I need a 3mm spacer up front. It clears OEM or MCS suspension. I still have my Apex ARC8 wheels from before but I foresee all additional sets will be the TE:ALs from now on. Will probably buy a third one before long |

Such a great combo - I really like the Monte Carlo blue coupe! My recollection is that you are on 275/35/18 tires - correct?

I run 275 tires on them so I get some additional effective width vs the regular 10" wheels people use for 275 tires. For example, the 275 R1 runs wide for a 10" wheel. On the 10.5" it has very slight stretch or simply a straight sidewall. On a set of 295 R888R (horrible piece of shit tire, my God...) the tire is clearly too wide for the wheel and it looks 'pregnant' Based on my experience, if I wanted to run the 275 front and 285 rear R1 I'd want an 11" rear to properly support it |

Couldn't resist the 20% discount on the 19's. Picked up a staggered set in clear machine metal. I haven't see any pics of those, just dark clear. Should be cool! I'll try to post pics in a few weeks.

I would probably have bought a set of these in 18" instead of buying new tires for my 17's if they were available in that finish. Looks pretty awesome.

Holy crap, these things are like jewelry. I probably should just hang them on my wall.
They are basically painted bright silver inside and out with a very fine machine finish on the face. Almost iridescent. Much more fine and they’d look polished. Pretty close to flawless. I don’t think I’ll like cleaning these things, though. A lot of cool detail work, never mind the pristine finish, will take more effort to keep looking good. Fortunately I don’t drive my m3 in the rain and only about 1500 miles per year. Clean them I will. Now to get them shod. |
