Need more pics (different angles) before judgement.
Premlin. - From this just one pic, the wheel looks a bit small (20" ?) and lowering springs should enhance the look a bit. |

That's because the car has just been jacked up But I think it is also due to the visible inner ring, which I intend to repaint in gloss black. With that done, only the 5 twin-spokes will be visible....

If you can get that diamond black finish ... similar to this BBS RI-D .. I would think it will be very, very nice on yours. How come no window tinting for you ? Is it illegal in HK ? |

Can't believe you are not getting premium wheels this time, mlai. Looks good, of course not as good as your Morr.

I do like the BC Forged. I thought long and hard before I decided to give them a try. They are 2 pcs designs (disc and barrel) instead of 3 pcs (disc/outer rim/inner barrels) as most of the US/JP forged ones, which is perfect for me. I had problems with sealant of the 3pcs wheels and also the 3pcs wheels will be noisy when braking due to the sealant expanding and contracting a bit. Leading, costs, and design all came into the decision making process. The wheels were very light. Same as my previous MS8 and MS10s, if not lighter. And handling has improved a bit, but not as noticeable as on the F10 that I had. Lead time was only about a little over a month from ordering to delivery. And the wheels came with custom valve stems, not like the US forged wheels where I had to scramble for low profile-stems. All-in-all, I liked the BC Forged wheels so far. But only time will tell. But then, at these prices, I can always order another set or 2 if I wanted a change

BC Forged's wheels look quite nice and certainly value for money. Now that you have tried it mlai, I have another choice if I buy next time.
I noticed you don't have the eye catching center cap, new design? Or custom made? You got your wheels from Advan?

No. Didn't get them via Advan direct. Advan gave me a bogus price.

Since this is a DD in the city with less than perfect roads, I am not going for 21s or lowered, but something more practical for me
Not great pictures as taken with my phone..... How does this look now?
