BC Forged Wheels Purchased

Hello Bowtiguy,
Three wheel hangers will work just fine I completely understand your concern I have the same concern with my 2013 Z and the three hangers work out great.

I test fit the LR wheel earlier this week. There was around 1" clearance to the brake line with the suspension sagging and the gap would increase slightly with the car on the ground. Continental lists the rim width for the 335/30R18 at 11.5" to 12.5" so the tires would bulge slightly, but not enough to close the gap to an unsafe distance

I got the tires mounted Friday and am very impressed with the results. One took 20g to balance, two took 10g, and the last wheel took zero. The rears came in at 54.0 lbs compared to 59.4 lbs (including TPMS) for the OE with Nitto NT555 G2. I'm going to ceramic coat the wheels before installing, but the product I purchased isn't going to arrive until later this week. However, I had to test fit one today. Cleared the brake line no problem & looks great!

Those look like a good investment.

Wheels are on the car! The fronts came in at 43.8 lbs compared to 51.8 lbs for the old setup. With a total 26.8 lbs unsprung weight off the car I cannot weight to see how it drives. I only did a loop around my block because a big rain storm was headed my way.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. They almost look like Fiske; not sure how they compare price wise, but it is a nice look for our cars! Good job researching and selecting.

Those look great and as stated, look similar to Fikse FM5's. Hope you will be with us at Carlisle!

Thank you all for the compliments. The FM5 is one of my favorite wheels (for any car). However, there are so many of them out there and I wanted something a little different. I also wanted a concave spoke in the rear as apposed to a lip. Very happy with the end results.

Bob Leitzinger, David Long, and Butch Leitzinger. I drove a 1991 240sx fastback in college & have had that poster ever since. I need some LT5 artwork for the garage!
