I took advantage of Black Friday wheel sale and bought a set of Forgestar F14 wheels for stock PSS tires.
I switched winters tire with this setup since it hasn't been very cold in DFW area and took a few snapshots to share.
Wheel specs are 18x8.5 +42 for front and 18x9 +45 for rear wheels.
I weighted front wheel at 19.4lb and 20.6lb for the rear which are much lighter that the stock wheels at 25.4lb front and 26.2lb rear.

they look good!
I was between these and the CF5Vs, ended up going with the CF5Vs, now I'm just waiting.. they're supposed to be here next week!

Is that their "Textured Black" color?

Looks great! Any plans for a drop?

They are matte black.
I'm hoping that it will be an easy color for touch up.
CF5V wheel will have been my first choice if they were available in 18" size.

I've originally was looking into lowering with spring change only but found out it was improper way to do it.
Replacing them with coilovers is bit too much for me to spend so I'm going to leave it at stock height.

Springs seem to have been causing issues with the oem struts. Maybe look into ST coilovers? They are a reasonable price point and produced by KW i believe.

Thanks for sharing the pics. They look killer installed! Always loved the matte black on Estoril.

Your 19x8.5/9.5 CF5Vs are getting mounted as we speak! Make sure to share some photos as well


Heres a preview of how they came out on our other customer's M235

Yesss! That looks freakin amazing with the drop!!
Perfect semi-aggressive fit IMO

Very well done. Looks great.

What offsets and wheel widths did you end up with? I was thinking of going 19x8.5 et44 and 19x9 et53. I've read on the net that this setup works without rolling the fenders or scraping. I would go with 235 tires front and 255 rear.

That seems like an agressive fit. Even with a roll it's looking like it'll hit both back and front.

Looks awesome

[PARTS@STBMW]

Phenomenal!

But it doesnt rub front or rear, which is the beauty of a perfect fitment

The 19x8.5 +44 on the front will be dangerously close to the inner suspension.
At +45 it touches. I recommend a +42 or 43 max on the front, but if you run a tire that hangs over the edge of the wheel, theres a chance it'll rub the inner suspension component.

The rear and tire setup should work great! We can get those specs with the Forgestars. Let me know if you'd be interested in a set!

You should add some coilovers for better look and improved performance!
