here's the tires installed! front: 255/30/21 rear: 295/25/21 Accelera Phi's



here's a shot of the black hardware!


here's one on the scale:
Fronts with tires: 60lbs.
Rears with tires: 65 lbs

he didn't get a chance to weigh the wheels alone but he said he'd get back to me on how much the tires weigh alone.




here's a shot of how much lip there is! i'll have to take a tape measure and give you guys in inches exactly

Seriously Bro, they look mad raw! If I wanted to do something similar would they allow me to squeeze a little more concavity as I noticed the spokes aren't at the outer edge of the lip? Love the profile of the tyres - absolutely perfect. I also like the choice of black hardware as that will hide the brake dust build up. Interestingly they didn't give you a black valve stem? Can't wait to see them mounted

I'm guessing it all has to do with how aggressive the offsets you want. they explained to me with the M5's wider fenders they could go alot more concave with those but for the normal 5 series were pretty much limited. i got the most aggressive offset possible without resorting to spacers. so with spacers i'm sure you could go deeper? maybe something similar the guys do with the Forgestars for that concavity in the front? maybe the width of the wheel has some part of it too? also, the rear face sits in more because it is a 21x11 and that's why the face sits in a bit more than the fronts? maybe remmib can chime in since he's pretty much the wheel expert here you could give GetYourWheels a call and ask for Jason.

One observation, the Center caps says AG.. Is Alpha Forged a division of Avant Garde wheels?

Alpha forged ended up getting bought out by AG. GetYourWheels is sending both wheel caps to let me decide which one I like. Pretty much I got lucky because if I would have bought after the announcement I probably wouldn't have gotten the sponsorship. Pretty much got these wheels at half the cost! I've compared these with a lot of searching and they are almost identical to the AdV1's which run about $10k for the set!

Glad we could be a part of this awesome build Gene!
Cant wait to see the installed photos

[lsturbointeg]

It's a little tough now but next time you change your tires throw a set of these on?

I did get the TPMS sensors. Here is what they told me:

That curved stem you see coming out the rivet hole is not the TPMS. Thats just a valve for the air.

TPMS is mounted on the inner barrel where its not visible.

No biggie as the black caps I can pick up for less than $10 bucks
