I still prefer the Volk VR-G2s
My use-it/abuse-it/commuter-hack is feeling a bit jealous of your pampered princess

i looked heavily into the volks BUT the sizes they come in a far from ideal on a real enjoyed car!! they will rub or you have to run silly geo settings just to get good fitment, i want properly fitting wheels...... cant get better or stronger than the ga3r......
lol pampered princess!! thats actually sooo true!! lol the pampering is actually part of the ownership of these cars for me, i love the pampering nearly as much as the driving!!

interesting on the Volks, I really thought I might get those or I've got my eyes set on the ACS forged ones. I know all too little about settings, fitments, offsets etc. What do you think?
Aliv6 said:You're a nutter dude!!! But i continue to tip my hat! I think they'd look nice in silver....
i guess a special connection with this particular keeps me around...... when i can afford my mp4-12c ill finally stop..... until then ill keep tweaking and making it something one of a kind..... truely wonderful thing to own.....
I like these a lot, good to stick with 18s as well. The 9.5" rears will look awesome 
Beedub said:the ga3r.......... perfection, and considerably lighter than the CSL rims... all round this will net a nice unsprung weight saving.....
will be ordering the 18" option with a front in 8.5 +32offset, up in the rear ill be going 9.5 +25.... relatively restrained offsets compared to the stance kings (but still agressive in terms of z4m fitment), but i need the headroom for the proper trackuse/sprint use my car see's, i will not put a rim on my car thats rubs ANYWHERE, simple as that. Not only am i excited about these rims but they are the only wheels ive come across that are still warrantied when used on the track, that says alot imo......
ill be ordering the matt centres with the gloss black outer shell that you see in the pics below................
Very excited, hoping to get my order in early december when i get a nice cash injection coming in from work
These wheels are properly light, very very strong and will allow fitment of my BBK, i love the fact that i can make them any offset i like so perfect fitment, im not going for ultimate flush archline look, in terms of offset im going for a setup that i can tune to look good BUT firstly get no rub on the very hard work my car see's during the track months, its taken me a LONG time to find the right wheel, these are perfect for me...... simply perfect........
the only thing i cant seem to work out is the centre bore size?? im hoping they will machine them to bmw spec so they are "hubcentric centering"
mmmmm i can just see my blown z4m sitting on these, BBK poking out behind these forge ga3r's lowered (a very restrained) 10mm on kw clubsports...... yessss perfection. Watch this space.... not looking forward to import charges.....
My genuine CSL's (refinished in gunmetal with PSS rubber will be for sale)
the moment these things are on my car
heres the spec taken from the forgeline website
After over 20 years of involvement with teams of virtually every sports car racing organization in the world, we have learned what it takes to produce a racing wheel that can withstand the fierce conditions of the sport. This knowledge has been applied to our latest and greatest - the best wheel that we have ever made - the GA3R.
Our new "I-Beamed Spoke" technology reduces weight and applies additional strength and rigidity within the spokes of the wheel. The hidden titanium assembly hardware delivers a smooth clean look and makes wheel cleaning faster and easier. The design of the GA3R's center allows plenty of room for caliper clearance and extreme brake fitment. And we have employed a new proprietary fast-drying super-strength sealer that is highly resistant to leaks and allows for quick and easy repairs.
The GA3R is truly designed for racing. It is engineered with a 2100 lb. street-tire load rating to ensure strength and integrity, even when subjected to the massive loads encountered on the stickiest race tires. And it is the only wheel that is actually warranted for use in racing applications!
The GA3R is produced using our traditional forging method utilizing 6061-T6 aluminum with heat-treated rim-shells. And just like any Forgeline wheel, the GA3R is fully customizable in fitment and finish, including center lock applications.
Now available in 17-inch, 18-inch, 19-inch, and 20-inch sizes in virtually any width and offset.
