Only one question:

The VMR vb3 rims rub with 18x8.5 ET40.
Your CS7 18x9 ET48 doesnt rub? it is only 2mm of difference.

Ahm, the concavity looks very fine

Thanks

2mm are 2 mm
we wait and see for some mounted experience

The VB3 18x8.5 ET40 are used on the front which rub which if you put on rear will not rub. The staggered set-up for the VB3 is 18x9.5 ET45 for rear which is known to rub.

The CS7 18x9 ET48 is intended for rear staggered set-up which won't rub.

I hope that clears up. The comparison you used comparing a front wheel of VB3 to a rear wheel of a CS7

Thanks for the answers. I see that you have the E87 like me. You know if anyone has ordered this rims for an E87?

I read somewhere that the coupe is a little bit wider on the rear so, those mm can be the key.

Know i am with winter tyres but in spring CS7 seems the best option for me

I think a few guys in Austrailia have ordered them with E87.

Not sure about the Coupe being a little wider at the rear. I think they are very close from what I have heard.

They will fit no problem as my wheels are much more aggressive offset (11mm front & 6mm rear) compared to CS7's and mine don't rub so I don't see any problems with these wheels fitting with the correct tyre choice

Everythig clear. It is time to wait!

Nah man they are just an online vendor that is selling these wheels through these forums. Nobody has actually received any wheels from Alufelgen yet. They have simply collected money and designed a wheel specifically for the 1 series. We have no estimated time of delivery as yet and this group buy dates back to the start of year. We finally have photos of the wheels now but that is all at this stage.

Thanks for the clarification.

According to the TUV, although our wheels are built by a TUV-approved factory, each wheel must be tested and certified by them which prevents us and most of US manufacturers from selling wheels in Europe. We can, however, ship the wheels to any address in Europe as we have done for several years now.

We finally have photos of the wheels now but that is all at this stage.

We were first launched in 2005 as a company to design and manufacture wheels specifically for the BMW community. We started making the 19" 162 for the 3-series for about 4 years until we decided to launch a brand to fill a niche we saw on the market for affordable quality wheels which is the reason we launched the CS7 (CSL rep) for the 3-Series at the beginning of the year. We have sold plenty of wheels and you can check the boards for pictures of dozens of customers sporting our wheels.

We are not just an online store. We are a full production manufacturer and distributor. We have just acquired our brand new facility in Doral, Florida that we will be inaugurating on November that will serve as a store front and main warehouse.

As far as the 1-series GB we have collected a 50% deposit on the total amount due. This is a GB and a commitment on the customer's end must be made in order to move forward. The thread gauging interest for this wheels is about 1 year old. however, the date when the GB started is about 3 months ago.

The R&D, CAD, FEA, Moulds, Testing and Certification have all been done. We are waiting on a completion date from factory to provide an accurate estimated delivery time.

Hope this explains things better.

Here is a new shot in gunmetal we just received!

[oasis3582]

What's the difference between gunmetal and hyperblack?

[ALUFELGEN]

Putting them side to side you can have a better perspective. The gunmetal is a metallic paint in a color darker than silver but lighter than dark gray. The Hypernblack is a reflective paint which varies depending on angles, it can go from a dark gray (nearly black) to a dark gunmetal. If you look at the hyerblack picture at 10' o-clock and 4' o-clock you can have an idea of what i`m referring to.

MORR and Alufelgen are owned by the same company and both are independently operated.

The Hyper Black just look awesome.

[bmw128isaphire]

Hey, could you pm me pricing please.
thanks

[zzz36]

me too please

[KdF135i]

Please PM price also.....

[Bruck]

can anyone closely compare these to the original CSL's - from what I'm seeing these look to have the sharpest concave and fit the best which means they are basically like CSL originals that actually fit?

I have always wanted the csl look but have been disappointed so far because most reps don't look "exact" because the concavity is off.

[vtb]

1. where to buy matte black?
2. how much?

[Ilma]

Me too please.....for OEM silver

The problem with concavity for rims for the 1-series is our offsets. There is only so much concavity you can get while designing a rim that properly fits our cars.
