Quite wide - Forgestar CF5V Alu's on the BMW E92 M3 Coupe

Reading time 3 Min.

Where does tuning actually begin? For many, tuning begins with a lowering or a loud sports exhaust and an increase in performance is for a large part the epitome of a tuned car. But what if we take the trouble and compare the question with a statistic? Then it turns out that in a good 70% of all vehicle owners who want to change the rims of the vehicle are replaced first. Even before classic chip tuning or lowering, new rims are the most popular tuning utensil of all, but at the same time often one of the most expensive subsequent changes. The choice to swap the rims is understandable in my eyes, because often the rims installed ex works are not always unsightly or even ugly, the problem is that the standard rims are selected in the manufacturer's configurator and that ultimately has thousands of other buyers of a, in this case BMW E92 M3 Coupe's, also done. In addition, the wheel sets are trimmed in the direction of mainstream optics ex works and of course not very individual because they should ultimately appeal to the general public.

All good reasons for a new set of wheels! What could be more obvious than to look around the Forgestar Wheels repertoire to see if a suitable alternative to the wheelset installed ex works can be found? The owner of this black BMW E92 M3 Coupe has "the wheelset project“And the standard rims were exchanged for a Forgestar Wheels CF5V wheel set in 19 inches and especially thick, 11J at the rear. If you look at the selection of rims from Forgestar Wheels then it becomes clear to us why it had to be this provider! Forgestar only has high quality rims in its range and an attractive selection of designs in stock. As you can see, there was something suitable for the M3 and the project could begin. In addition to the built-in and very attractive rims, the elegant V8 Coupe has received a few other changes that we are only aware of from the photos, unfortunately we have not yet received any technical details. No matter the main focus of the car is of course on the 19 inch CF5V wheelset which certainly does not miss the standard rims and is an absolute asset to the M3. The vehicle immediately looks more dynamic and sporty, which is always a plus. We took a closer look at the pictures of the vehicle and made a comparison with the production version and were able to determine one or two changes to the rims.

What we have learned directly from the tuner ModBargains and have recognized ourselves, we provide you in a summary as usual below. Should you notice any further changes, we would be happy if you post them in the "comment box", we will then add them to the post as soon as possible.
