New Wheels

After a long wait finally arrived at the shop last night.







They are 2-piece forged wheels by BC Racing. Same size and width as stock monoblocks but lighter in weight. Satin Black centers with brushed tinted gunmetal lip. Deep lip with concave spokes, should complement the meteor gray color on my Turbo well

Getting them put on the car next week along with GMG springs. will post pics when it's all done

Thumbs up

also want to thank the guys over at Sonic Motorsports in Mountain View CA for helping research and select these wheels. Super easy to work with and patient with their customers

I never understood the pseudo concave look that has extra material/weight towards the barrel./rant over

Congrats on the new wheels, post pics with them on.

will have to get the exact wheel weights for you, but in the mean time here are the same exact wheels but in a set of 20s (mine are same dimensions as stock so should be lighter)

Weight information (lbs)- HB 29

20x9.0 ET20


20x11 ET25

appreciate the comments, will post pics once we have the springs installed and wheels mounted next week

in the mean time they should look like this (the BMW looks like it has the regular brushed aluminum lip and the GTR I believe has the brushed tinted gunmetal similar to the set I ordered):

I am interested to see how the weight compares to a set of Jongbloed 3-piece wheels.
