Richland Forged GT3R

JustinHEMI · 05-20-2023, 06:44 PM

Received my new Richland Forged GT3R wheels today!!! They are stunning! I cannot wait to get them on and should have them on by the end of the coming week. Here's some teaser photos.

Weights: Front 22 pounds (21.8), Rear 23 pounds (23.2).

That should be, what, about 27 pounds weight savings over the OEM?

I'm sure there' some error in there, I simply weighed myself on my bathroom scale, then held each wheel and weighed myself again, took the difference.

I rounded the values.

Knurled bead seats.

Here they are! I absolutely love them! I think the extra poke, about 12mm front, 15mm rear, looks better without lowering.

After I see other ZBs with bronzish wheels, I may go for their "tinted bronze" finish in the future.

I tried to take a lot of different angles. Sun was super bright so not best lighting.

Wow those look nice! What tires are going on?

My Pzeros. Yinz convinced me to burn through them.

BUT I have Michelins in my Tire rack cart ready to order. Almost did it last night lol

Interested to see what they look like with that stretch. Smart move. Apparently some stretch can be good according to Tag s video from that tire test.

jay1k2 · 05-20-2023, 08:58 PM

Wow, I need those!

What size are those? If it's OEM, the 11" wheel is too big for the 285, Pirelli recommends a maximum size of 10.5".
I think the best size for the 11" wheel is 295.

DBV · 05-21-2023, 07:18 AM

Are these an aftermarket performance replica of the factory wheel? I see spaces for the stock M stickers... Loving the OEM+ look.

Yes they are replicas of the current M4 GTS/GT3 wheel.

They'll stretch.

These are booked to be installed with break in service this Friday! I should also have new brake pads on before then to reduce dusting.

Really looking forward to the pictures. Silly question: do you know if OEM BMW center caps fit?

Good question! Yep they do!

Spill the beans, what did it cost? You're making me spend money I can be spending on watches...

They anticipate pricing this line about 500 more than their GT4 line. It will depend on finishes and such. They're working on getting the website up to date now.

sl0m0 · 05-25-2023, 11:01 PM

I've been waiting to see these on your car for a while.... Still waiting. At least you have the car now.

JustinHEMI · 05-25-2023, 11:26 PM

Tomorrow!!

Looks amazing! Going to look even better when lowered!

JustinHEMI · 05-26-2023, 08:55 PM

Not lowering.

Here's a few more pics in evening lighting. But also with about 200 miles of brake dust.

It really needs at least a slight drop. Dont need to slam it, just a gentle drop.to clise the gap. It will even handle better for you.
