Ordered New Wheels......

coco_m3 · 02-25-2009, 01:01 PM

So I have been shopping around for awhile and found some custom wheels with better offsets for the 1 series.
They are custom wheels, so it takes 7 days to build them so Ill get back to you guys and update this thread.

Here they are.

Forgestar F14 in gunmetal.

The sizes and offsets:

Front 19x8.5 ET 46
Rear 19x9.0 ET 50

I hope it looks good.

Just as a note, my CSL sizes and offsets:

Front 19x8.5 ET 40
Rear 19x9.5 ET 45

Papa13 · 02-25-2009, 01:17 PM

Subscribed, i want to see pictures!

I bet your stoked. Wish you were in CA I would take those CSL's off you.

coco_m3 · 02-25-2009, 01:18 PM

Im way stoked.

Ill ship the CSL's to ya. *wink*

soupy · 02-25-2009, 01:19 PM

Niiice, can't wait to see how these turn out for you. Looks like the offsets are going to be good. What tires are you going to mount on these?

coco_m3 · 02-25-2009, 01:29 PM

Not sure just yet, Im thinking a cheap set because I go though tires alot.

FazerBoy · 02-25-2009, 01:44 PM

Are you sure that front wheel is going to have enough inner clearance?

The standard front wheel is 7.5" ET49. An 8.5" ET46 will have 10mm LESS clearance between the wheel and the suspension etc. I'm not sure this will clear.

If you've checked it out and it definitely fits then fine - but if you're having them custom made you'd better be sure

coco_m3 · 02-25-2009, 01:49 PM

That is what Forgestar recommended.
So it should fit.

arrutled · 02-25-2009, 02:02 PM

Who did you order those from? i saw renn-spec post it on the commercial section but they never followed up with anything anyone asked.

coco_m3 · 02-25-2009, 02:06 PM

I have been talking with Gary @ RENN-SPEC.

He has amazing, amazing customer service.
Very nice and personable.
He has answered all my questions.

If there was a rating thing, id give him 10/10 stars.

Thanks again Gary!

bigslick82 · 02-25-2009, 02:19 PM

It should look great! Nice choice.

Quoted from Gary @ Renn-Spec

"19 x 8.5 approx. weight 22.5 lbs, offsets from +26 to +46
19 x 9.0 approx. weight 24.1 lbs, offsets from +20 to + 50"

nice, these wheels are going to look sick, and they are one of the few that appear to have the correct offsets for the 1er. What size tires are you planning on running?

coco_m3 · 02-25-2009, 04:40 PM

225,255

Putting some springs on also, so we will see how it turns out.
