still looking for wheels
Hello to all again. Just wondering if any one has any new recomendations concerning wheels on the new F10. I am still having a super hard time choosing or even finding aftermarket wheels for this beautiful vehicle . I think the ones offered by BMW are nice but I want somethinig a little more edgy and stylish. Tried a couple of places online but none really offered a good reasonably light wheel for this car. I know I have seen this type of post already here so I know Im not the only one with this dilemma. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all in advance for your posts and guidance.....

The Forgestar F14 flow form wheel is strong and lightweight! This brand new lineup utilizes a combination of the best methods of forging and casting methods both in the same wheel. This is called Flow Form Casting, and is used by companies such as BBS and Enkei. These wheels are made to order and can be made to fit your BMW with a large range of offsets.
Flow Form Casting is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details! In the meantime here are a few pics of the Forgestar F14 on a few BMW's for you to check out! E60 M5 - 20" Forgestar F14 finished in Piano Black |
