Are you getting the lip machined or keeping it the same color? Also, has anyone received their 3D drawing for review and confirmation?

I am keeping it all the same. Should come soon as they dont start production until you approve the 3d drawing.

For a 20x10 wheel that's not bad at all.

bbb83 and BabyBMW did you guys move forward with this or what is the status?


Also why is that video from the person that reviewed the Apex alibaba wheels down for violating youtube policies? Wonder if the big boys are going after things like that.

Not yet, I asked Vossen for offsets but the fuckers of course wouldn't give me those because they likely know what I'm trying to do lol. Anyone know of the best way to figure out offset for my preferred setup for a non x3 car? Do I just measure from the wheel hub to end of fender or something? subtract out the wheel dish if they're deep dish? I just don't want to spend all of this money on custom wheels and have it fit like shit

You can measure OEM setup and then plug it into an offset calculator:

https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/

Then measure again but I am no expert

Update, I asked the vendor to place these instead of the blue and white stock color. The wheels will have a better contrast with the car now 😀

Asked to see if they will produce a vintage looking twisting five spoke design in 20x9.5 will probably get the 826 reps if not.

Nice. Reminds me of the Porsche turbo twists.

Those are cool. Also kind of look like the M Contour wheels from the E36.

These might cost extra as they will probably ask to do 2 piece.
