Beside CCW and Bogart, who else makes a good custom wheel?
thanks

[Robert Puertas]

Define good.

You want light, strong, pretty or cheap?

Kodiak, Jongbloed, HRE, Real Racing...

Light, Strong, Pretty or Cheap

Sorry if I wasn't clear before. But you only get to have two of the four...

[Chad Stubblefield]

light and cheap

[Jason Isley BS RX8]

Not custom, but light and cheap: D-Force BMW wheels.

yeah they dont have to be custom. I just cant find an 18x8. They are all 18x8.5.
I almost bought the Forgestars. Group buy for $999 but no 8 inch wheel, offsets were custom. Freeform made.
I would be fine with the stockers if they didnt weigh 25lbs.
anything under 20lbs.
z4m stock wheels = 18x8 42 18x9 30 so +/-6.3 mm on the offsets to be stock legal. If we just had .5 inch to paly with on width this would be easy.

O.Z. comes the closest with 18x8 40 18x9 40 missing by 4mm on the offset for the rears

thanks for the help

Chad-

Give Vorshlag a call. Terry and Amy Fair are autocrossers in Texas and nice people. He knows BMW's very well. MCoupe listings have largely dropped off the planet. He probably knows how to prep one though. And those wheels might be available but not listed on his site.

i give them a call monday
I found a bunch of off brands that would work
but I have know idea about the quality.
thanks

[Chad Stubblefield]

questionable quality:

TSW alloy wheels ?

Momo wheels ?

Drag ?

How about running a 5 mm spacer in the rear?

[Chad Stubblefield]

might even do a 10mm to give me 30.
Just didnt think aobut spacers in stock class which I guess is fine.
OZ's are simi cheap and light weight. Are they strong?

[Tom Berry]

Chad,
I just bought D-force wheels for my BMW from Vorshlag. Terry treated me very well and the wheels are great and cheap.

[Chad Stubblefield]

Ill call them Monday

Ill see if they have wheels that are not listed on their site.
thanks

FWIW TSW is a division of Enkei and is an OEM wheel supplier to Toyota. Dunno if I'd question their durability...not really a lightweight wheel tho per se.
