Very niceeee you’re going to move them! Keep us posted on the build

Just got the pictures from BC Forged for my wheels. Should be here next week!



I'm having the car ceramic coated as well as these wheels and the existing 612Ms in late July, so I'll post an update later this summer when they're on. I think they'll look good on Mineral White.

Those would look great in black too. What model wheel (RZ05?) and how much? Can they be offset to the point where the wheels are pushed out flush without spacers?

My 612Ms are black and I didn't want 2 sets of black wheels. It also seems like every car is running black wheels now, so the 612s will be relegated to winter use. I like the way the car sits on the stock suspension and didn't want to get crazy with offsets or concavity, so I stuck with the same dimensions as the 612s for the RZ05s. BC Forged will work with you on offsets - they are incredibly responsive

These are just right. Do you mind sharing your wheel/tire spec?

Thanks

I definitely want a set of forged wheels if I can justify the expense in my head.

Someone on here has a hookup with BC I believe, I need to look back at my messages.

I'd stick with black, and I'm wondering if there is a way to get a set of 22s without negatively impacting the rolling radius difference/percentages of the stock 21s. Either way, I would definitely want them flush or pushed out as far as possible.

Looking forward to pictures of yours mounted!

Lots of people run 22s on their F85s - it was an option from the factory. My hesitation with 22s, and you’re from MA and are familiar with this, is the roads. We have shit roads and I didn’t want to potentially run a smaller sidewall and risk damage to the wheel and/or be replacing tires more often than needed. The smarter option would’ve been to just get a set of 20s and run the Conti all-seasons, but where’s the fun in that?

Not sure that 22" wheels were an option for the F85.

[m3fuz]

Oh - did they introduce them for the F95s then? I could’ve sworn they were available for the F85, but I’ve been wrong before!

Agreed on all of that!

I had a lot of work done to my rig and it's looking and running amazing.

My wheels have been RFB'ed but still looking for a shop to spin my wheels to make sure they're all true. Rim Pro can do it but they don't have a lift and I only have the one set.

Gonna see if my auto body shop can suggest anyone since I'm dropping off Tuesday for some final tweaks/misses. Let me know if you have any ideas?
