Seems to be an "economical" option against the P40s. Will have dedicated track wheels so I'm not concerned about the weight penalty in daily use.

Any feedback from the fellow inmates here? That removable lip seems well thought out for us careless drivers.

 

i have some on order, will post pics as soon as they arrive

 

I'd love to get a set in 18 inch for my winter setup. Does anyone know if they are going to make it or what other similar options (style and $) are available?

 

Good looking wheel with a great reputation backing them. If these had been available last year I think I might have given these a very, very serious look. Weight isn't to bad either for a cast wheel:
Fronts (19x9): 24.5 lbs
Rears (19x12): 28.3 lbs

Looking forward to hearing some reviews.

 

A wheel review? That's got to be one of the more subjective ones but I do look forward to learning more.

 

I'm hearing not until early next year.

 

Hope not, I have been told early May

 

for the 19's...

 

Think they have been out for BMW fittment for a while.

I found this pic.

 

I am a bit dissapointed about weight - they are even heavier than my 19" OZ Botticellis. Next year they should be available in 18" apparently - that would make more practical sense.

 

Spoke to Rhonda at FVD and the 19" are in stock this week.

Now, I wonder what my black lobster claws are worth? One of them's got a fair amount of rash.

 

Wow, they look nice on that M3. What would look nice on a Guards Red C4S? Black or Brilliant Silver?

 

I'd go with Black, though some may argue that it could be a passing fad. Wait, I'm just speaking for my own lazy ***, not bothering to clean the wheels.

 

I like the brilliant silver however, like you said about cleaning the wheels.

 

Hmm...so the offsets available for the CH-R (8.5" front, 11" rear), compared to the stock NB lobster claws, seems to put the rears 11mm further out, which is OK since most have success with up to 17mm spacers without fender rubbing.

On the fronts, however, it puts the wheels 12mm wider on the outside which I fear may cause some rubbing.

Thoughts? Anyone tried a 12mm spacer with 235 tires up front?
