New Forged Set-up

KJ10 · 08-21-2023, 03:06 PM

I have been waiting on these wheels to arrive since about April and am excited to say I finally have them installed. These were ordered custom from a fellow forum member hence the long wait. I am very happy with how they turned out both with the looks on the car and the quality of the wheels.

Specs:
Weight: 22.2lbs/wheel
19x9.5 ET 25
265/35 DWS06 Plus

Lovely looking wheel and perfect for the M240iX. Are you going to lower the car?

Thanks! I would like to lower the car but for now it is my daily driver in Michigan and the roads here are not great. Don't want the headaches of breaking something.

Why not going to the adjustable spring route? You could set the car as it's the best for you (and your roads).

The main reason is I just bought my first house and all my money will be going into for the foreseeable future lol. Wheels and tires were the last hooray, rest of the mods will be on the back burner for now. Second I just have never had the urge to lower any car really. I have no plans to ever track this car while its my daily and I find the stock suspension gets the job done fine for me. In the future if it becomes a second car I will definitely look into lowering or an adjustable spring.

have you thought about adding on the ZTK fender flares? it looks like the wheel is poking out a bit in the rear

Was going to ask the same if I remember AutoID used to sell the fender flares for 500 something. Would be curious if those fixed the poked as these wheels are oem g80 m3 wheel specs.

I thought about it more before the wheels arrived as I was worried it would be worse. In person it is not nearly as bad and doesn't bother me enough to change it now. In the future I may add them but it is on the bottom of the list for now.

Close to the same. G80 stock fronts are 19x9.5 ET20 and these are ET25.

There are a few running around down here. I have a buddy with one and I’ve seen 1 or two more over the past year. Couple 230s as well. Enjoying yours so far?

RICH S202 · 08-26-2023, 09:48 AM

I purchased it from a dealership out of Virginia. Drove it back yesterday and put it's first 500 miles on it. It feels lovely. I'm about to wash it for the first time because i told the dealership not to go near it and swirl it all up lol

FANTASTIC

Fair. I do not trust anyone at the dealership with caring for my car either. Hopefully you enjoy the car! What is your spec so I can be on the lookout for you on the road?
