Richland Forged GT4 Custom X3M Spec Wheels

Hey all, posted in the "what did you do in your x3m today" thread but wanted to get some more info/pics out there. In my search for wheels, I found not a ton of great options out there with the right specs. Seemed like a lot of options from the name brands still required spacers to get the perfect fitment. I was looking at BC Forged like some have here but I reached out to Richland Forged as in know some F80 guys had their wheels and liked them. After doing lots of research and consulting with our very own wheel specialist BrockDM, we settled on the specs below. Couldn't be happier with the fitment and how these turned out. If you are looking for wheels I highly recommend hitting them up! Car is lowered on H&R springs.

Perfect! And great images as well! Thanks again for the PM this AM - I've got your data entered in our Member's list - combined weight of only 232 lbs so much lighter than OEM for sure. And also gotta give props to our Resident Wheel Expert BrockDM who continues to help alot of us with our wheel and tire questions.

The wheels are beautiful, but I’ve gotta say, that drop on the H&R’s is just about perfect! I was thinking of going with Dinan lowering springs, but this may have swayed me to the H&R’s… how’s the ride on these springs?

I was set on Eibachs which I think are the same as Dinan. My shop could source the H&R so I decided to just go with that. No complaints, they seem to be the most common option. I didn't really notice any difference in ride quality.

These wheels look nice & I like the matte / semi satin black finish. A simple design but a good one!

Looks like it sits close to flush. It's that accurate? Any rubbing? Looks great.

No rubbbing. They are pretty flush but you could be a bit more aggressive. I also have a 255 not a 265 on the front so there is a little stretch.

I forget what made me reach out to them but I think I just messaged them on here and asked about X3M spec wheels. They mentioned they have had an increased interest for our cars and they would be willing to work with me on a custom spec that they might start to offer. Glad I did!

These look really good! So no spacers required?

Being not the biggest fan of dark wheels, these wheels do look great on your car. Nice!

I’m getting ready to order some wheels in similar specs, but was wondering… the front fitment looks spot on. Are you thinking the rear could use a more aggressive offset?
