First set looks good, but reminiscent of the csl wheel which has been murdered on most bmw's. The price is very good, and a difficult one to compete with since they are manufactured in Taiwan. What kind of forgings are they using and are they 8 or 10 ton?

that's a good question, and one that I don't honestly know the answer to. I trusted many online reviews from different brands of cars, and the fact that they are JWL and VIA certified. According to them, they use T-6061 aluminum

I know the CSL is "played out" to a lot of people, but honestly I buy parts that perform and look the way I like them to. here in Houston you don't see too many modified m3's at all, so its not like they are all over the place.

for whatever reason, CSL wheels just look "right" to me on a BMW haha

I like those a lot actually.

On another note, I am sure that something like HRE is superior technically, as they should be.

The question is, are the BC forged good enough quality for me? Is the finish good enough? I trust the strength due to the certificiation, but we will see what the final product really looks like when I get them.

I used to have some Morr Vs8.2 on my old e92 with the brushed finish, so these BC forged have a lot to live up to.

Ill be sure to be 100% honest with my impressions

This is awesome! I was looking at these very wheels for if/when I order my F80. I am happy they made a 19" version.

Looking forward to this thread

I actually think BC will be just as good quality as HRE and competing brands. Benefits of the wheels being made out of the USA and way less marketing and advertising can let them keep the costs down. I was deciding between a set of BC wheels and the MORR wheels but really liked the MORR design. Be sure to report back once you get your wheels with a review. I also hear their turnaround time and delivery is 4-5 weeks which is amazing!

Are you sure that 19x10 is going to fit with et30?

I think you may want to go 19x10 et25. My et29 stock wheels have plenty of clearance with a 12.5mm spacer. I could easily fit a 15mm and probably an 18mm. The 19x10 is going to be 6.35mm + 1mm closer to the strut than the stock 19x9et29, so I'm worried it will rub on the strut especially with a wider tire.

Great point and fail on me for not thinking about inside clearance. Frustrating, wonder if anyone has tested this?

I don't want a 10 et25 I don't think bc it's a little too aggressive for stock height imo, especially with a 275 tire

I have sent an email to bc to revise my size to the following

19x9.5 et25
19x10.5 et35

So +10 in the front and + 10 in the rear. Should allow for good spacing with a wide ad08r in 275/295. I may also go with an re11 in 265/35 and 285/35. That's my favorite tire and should also help eliminate a little wheel gap and fit the wheel width perfectly.

Anyone have any other ideas? I'm open to any ideas

I actually think that a 19x10 et25 is not going to be too aggressive - like I said with 12.5mm spacers, I have plenty of clearance up front. 275/30r19 shouldn't be a problem.

the 19x9 et29 + 12.5mm spacers = 19x9 et16.5. Figure an 18mm spacer would be et11.

The 19x10 et25 is 6.35mm + 4mm closer to the outside, and a 275/30r19 will be another 10mm close to the fender than the 255/35r19 but shorter. I think it will be fine. http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1046622 They've tested botha 265/35r19 and a 275/30r19 on a 19x10 et25 and it looks like there is plenty of clearance.

After looking at other wheel specs (mostly the PSI TE37 pictures) I wound up ordering 19x9.5 +15 | 19x11 +30. I'm a little scared on the front fitment. Wish me luck!

The rear is a little aggressive but your running 19s so you should be ok with a little camber and also depends on what tire you are running.

You're likely going to be limited to a 275 or 285 in the rear. A 295/30r19 won't fit easily with +30

yeah, I know they will fit, I just think they are too aggressive at stock ride height. I would prefer a slightly less than flush fitment for my tastes. plus, I get a lot more tire flexibility. im still undecided on what size tires to run. I may go with the 265/285 for more of a stretch fitment (for performance) and to help eliminate a little of the wheel gap

I probably could have gone more aggressive, but don't regret it at this point. for a lowered car, I could have easily added 5mm front and rear

what are your wheel plans?

Yea, come to think of it I'll want to run at least a 295.

I'll get in touch with HRE and see if it's not too late to change to a 35.

19x10 et 25 | 19x11 et 35 (posted in the VMR test wheel fitment thread) might be perfect for you.

Here they are in 18x9.5 and 18x10.5. They look more like a flat face wheel, like the HRE R40 line. I think that pic in the original post is deceiving, as it shows a lot of concave.

Blipit, the thread you attached was the old version of the BC Monoblock series.

BC Monoblock Concave verision is brand new this year. For example, we just completed this following BC RS41 18x10 ET25 square for an M3 shipping out today.

see the PYspeed reply below. I noticed the same, and specifically asked this question and was told the new design, including the new 19s, have a concave face. this was confirmed by BC forged by PYspeed as well

Interesting, good to know. Does this include the entire RS lineup and the RS43?
