Mike Brown at Mod Bargains was great to work with. Great look and ride. Tell me what you think.

Really. That's great. Nice offsets too. What's their manufacturing method?

Love that they don't look like the Apex offerings.

chcampsoup · 04-11-2016, 08:00 PM

Here is some info on the manufacturing method on **********s' website I found when looking for new wheels.

These Sportline Wheels are made using a rotary forged process. Making these wheels stronger and lighter then most wheels on the market. These Sportline Wheels on average weigh 21.6 lbs, where as a gravity cast wheel can weigh 24-26 lbs. Saving 3-5 lbs per wheel is a huge weight saving when it come to unsprung weight (weight that is not supported by the car's suspension such as the: wheels, tires, brake rotors, and brake calipers). Reducing unsprung weight on your BMW is one of the easiest ways to improve your car's handling, braking, and acceleration. As a general estimate 1 pound of unsprung weight is equal to 10 pounds of static weight (weight that is supported by the vehicle's suspension). And with every 10 lbs lost from a car equals another 1 HP, reducing your unsprung weight can have a profound effect on performance!

How do you like the Sportline 8s?

Esteban · 12-24-2016, 01:18 AM

Wheels and car look really nice. Great choice. Love the Gunmetal color as well.

Comparison to others

Great weights. Wish VMR would make their CSL rep in a "spunforged" offering for more variety.

Nice wheel color choice. Looks good!

We have some exciting new things on the horizon! Stay tuned!

Gangplank · 01-11-2017, 06:59 PM

How far on the horizon?

There are currently no spunforged 19" csl type wheels in 1er fitments. Please fix this!

Very excited to see what you guys have cooked up. V718 variant would be interesting too.

Nice wheels chcampsoup! I am looking at getting a set myself. I was wondering why you chose the et62 rears instead of the et45s? I still have much to learn, and thought I'd ask someone with real world knowledge.

et62 sill let you run up to a 275 in the rear, might need a small three mm spacer. ET 45 you will be limited probably to a 245.

Dart7383 · 02-17-2017, 07:34 PM

Thanks Houtan. I suspected that was the case with the offset, but wanted to make sure. I ended up ordering the same set of wheels as Chcampsoup. I can't wait to have a little traction!

angler · 03-01-2017, 08:35 PM

They look sweet. Just ordered a set with free shipping on them.
