While waiting for the yet unreleased Eisenmann N20 Exhaust, I pulled the trigger on a new sets of Forgestar CF5 wheels.
Many thanks to Alan @********** for the teaser pic before the wheels are shipped.

saeba1 · 08-09-2012, 08:31 PM

Got them installed. 20x9 Fronts and 20x10 Rears Forgestar CF5 Textured Gunmetal.
Many thanks to Alan************ again for all the help, advices and follow ups.
Updated with better pics.

Thanks... I am very happy with the new look as well. Also lighter than my old M5 replica wheels.

Thanks..
It is actually dropped on ACS already, but as you can tell, the drop is only very slight (.8"). Didn't want to go with H&R and koilover really isn't an option with the xdrive.

I agreed totally. Wasn't planning to do the wrapping initially and immediately felt like doing it after I took the first sets of pics.

Nobleman · 08-10-2012, 10:48 AM

Those CF5 wheels look awesome man! Love it.

Alan l. · 08-10-2012, 10:56 AM

Ah now i see it. in the last pics the black paint looked like a huge fender gap lol

I have acs springs waiting to go on too.

I think the lighting in my garage also make them look bigger. ACS would drop a bit more on 535 or 550 I think.

Did the caps that came off your 351s fit on your Avant Garde wheels?

Thanks!
