Finally got around to taking a few more pics of my BSPK Forged "Josie" wheels.

I decided on this style for a few reasons. I wanted a wheel style that was different from what most seem to get here. I wanted something easy to clean. And I wanted something of quality that was reasonably priced. These BSPK Forged "Josie" style wheels met and exceeded my expectations!

They are size 20 x 11 ET 13 rear with a 295/30/20 tire and 19 x 10 ET 11 front with a 275/35/19 tire. Basically the equivalent of running a 15 mm spacer on the front and 13.5 mm spacer on the rear with stock wheels.

The finish is Brushed Double Gunmetal which gives amazing depth and really shows off the wheel detail while letting the drilled rotor and caliper bling come through.

They weigh approx. 23 lbs R and 21 lbs F ( the Josie is one of the heavier wheels in the BSPK lineup). It's nice to save a little weight, although this wasn't a consideration of mine.

As for the company, I believe John got his start over in the Alfa Romeo community where he has a very good reputation and has been branching out from there. I think he drives a BMW G80.

The process overall went well. It did take him about a week to get the renderings to me and then there was a shipping delay and delay in customs which added time. Usually he gets the wheels back within 90 days of ordering ( about a week longer for brushed finish) and there is an air freight option available to cut that time down significantly.

In my case with the delays that were mostly out of his control ( I feel the renderings could be done quicker ) my order to delivery time was 122 days. Not good, but again much of that delay was out of his control.

Final verdict? The wheels are simply beautiful and you really need to see them in person to appreciate the workmanship and finish. They are very competitively priced and lower than anything else I've found for the same or similar product. I'd definitely buy again!

I plan on purchasing from them as well. Nice looking wheels at nice prices. Owner is a good guy too. I am thinking the Millies or the Charlottes.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the price and they really are a high quality wheel. 👍

That is OEM ride height correct?

You win some , you lose some, I guess.

I guess I just got unlucky on this one.
Oof...that is rough. Did you get your set yet or are you still waiting? What was the response from BSPK?

The response from BSPK was professional and appropriate.

Obviously I don't blame BSPK for UPS losing one of the wheels.

Would have liked to have been given a more accurate time frame before ordering. Perhaps if I was told a 4 month (or longer) completion time was possible , I might have decided to not purchase.
I hope you get this issue straightened out. How is the quality of the wheels? Which one did you get?

I suspect order takers in the US have little to no influence on the manufacturing schedules/processes overseas.

Combine that with transportation services and you have unpredictable predictions.

I went with the Chiara. Without the groove on the face, and not all three weight saving holes. I went with 20-in wheels, black satin.

Quality is good, paint work is good. They turned out exactly how I ordered them.

A more accurate time frame would be, Wheels are being delivered to customers on average between 3 to 4 months, with some cases taking 4 months or longer.

But when only a 3-month time frame is mentioned, that's what is going to be in the customer's mind. So when 3 months comes and goes, the customer starts thinking something is going wrong, or there is a delay or whatever.

But at least knowing that 3 to 4 months is average, I could have made my decision based on that time frame.
Once again, realistically the US seller has little information and/or influence about the manufacturer’s schedule, materials availability, labor issues, political problems etc.

Shit happens, drive your car.

Thank you, I couldn't be more satisfied with the end result. Just from John researching what offsets other m240s were running, he was able to determine exactly what I was asking for. Pretty cool.
