405M Wheel - Love or no love - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

jamesems · 11-12-2012, 05:20 PM

Need some feedback from the troops. Love or no-love?

Jamesons Viggen · 11-12-2012, 05:45 PM

No love.

Not concave at all, too busy. Very un-German looking.

Willing to bet they are heavy-ish too, 28lbs or so.

TheObviousChild · 11-12-2012, 07:17 PM

There really needs to be a "Meh" voting option.

claykin · 11-12-2012, 07:58 PM

On what color car? In what size?

Anywhere we can see a full side shot with front and rear look?

Cyberdemon · 11-12-2012, 08:46 PM

No love.

IMO the thin quality of the spokes feels too dainty on that big of a wheel.

SamS · 11-12-2012, 09:09 PM

Seen them in person. No love. They are too big for the car + no concavity = wagon wheel.

I thought they were 20lbs...they are apparently forged.
I think they're butt butt ugly...but that price for forged rims is great, I saw them for $2200 somewhere and was appalled.

So far it looks as though there is no love for these wheels

sigfe · 11-13-2012, 05:50 AM

This is mine, love it

They photograph much better.. And look better on a darker car.
I would consider these if someone could get a weight on them... Anyone?

jamesems · 11-13-2012, 02:43 PM

Thanks for input so far.

MY13E92M3 · 11-13-2012, 07:58 PM

I would.

I am seriously considering these. I think they are sweet looking! What did you pay for yours, where did you get them, and do you know how much they weigh?

shahramghs · 11-16-2012, 02:27 AM

Sorry , NOOO Love!

EB_F30 · 11-16-2012, 03:48 AM

I think they look good on darker paints, they make the calipers pop too if painted as well.

lil bump see if i can get more votes.

shutterlife · 11-18-2012, 02:57 AM

I like it and plan on buying a set.

jamesems · 11-18-2012, 03:07 AM

im starting to lean that direction too. I was looking at Morrs and BBS and m5 reps but i really thinking about this set now.

Jamesons Viggen · 11-18-2012, 09:54 AM

20x8.5 for a rear wheel is a bit of a silly size too. Makes them look like wagon wheels.

I am doing 19x10 for the rears

fad · 11-19-2012, 10:19 AM

Absolutely no love.
