Wow - that's really light for a 20" non-forged wheel. Have you actually weighed one?
Bummer about the hub rings - not really a fan of those.
Thanks for the info - please post a pic once they're on your car!

Anyone has 19" VS Forged wheels who could share weight information? I'm getting ready to place my order for a set of VS Forged VS10. Just trying to get a sense of their weight. I'm trying to balance size/aesthetics/efficiency. At this point, 19x9.0 is the leading contender. Would like to run 245/40-19 tires. I have the OEM 18" wheels, which are ~21.6 lbs each.
Thanks.
Thanks.
My VS 06 19x8.5" wheels should be showing up in a week or two. They are supposed to be around ~21 lbs. I'll weigh and take pics when I get them.

Great. Much appreciated. I hope your wheel can come in close to 20 lb, if not under.

I just weighed mine on my bathroom scale, which may not be super accurate, but they weighed 24.8 lbs each. Surprisingly, the 10.5" weighed the same as the 9" - not sure why...
They are beautiful and were very well packaged. I'm excited for warmer weather so that I can get them installed!
Looks like the center cap is a different size. Do the S/X wheels have a larger center cap? wonder if they might fit?

Has anyone installed 18x8.5 +45 offset aftermarket wheels on their stock 235/45-18 Michelin tires?
I’m looking into a set of wheels with the +45 offset and I’d like to see if it’s a complete waste of an aftermarket wheel with that much rubber (45 profile) or not. 19s would be ideal I think but the wheel only comes in an 18 or 20

I had my wheels installed today. 305forged performance wheels in 20x9 with a 32 offset. They come out 14.4 mm more than stock. Honestly, I wouldn’t go further out than this. They weigh about 23.5 - 24 lbs. That’s about right compared to other flow forged rims. I’m running the General G-Max AS-05 in 245/35/20, 23 lbs in that size. Here are some pictures.
Something I've not seen elsewhere are the VS Forged VS03 in a Gloss Black Tinted Face finish on the thread you shared.

Hi, our M3 LR RWD has 25K miles and tires are wearing out. Can anyone recommend all season (non-winter,etc) tires for general commuting purposes in SoCal? We have the standard 18" wheels. The OEM tires at Michelin Primacy MXM4 235/4R18. I'm not particularly overwhelmed by these tires and the cost is much higher than others. Would be nice to get set of tires with warranty as well. I've look at the Pirelli Cinturato P7 but those are not 98H rated, only 94H.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have the same question. Im at about the same mileage and had my tires replaced but if this set wears out that quickly i will definitely want something else.
The original tires are 235 / 45 R18. I plan to run all season tires in the winter, on the OEM wheels, and I will likely go to 245 / 45 R18 for the next set. The 235s look stretched, which is not to my taste, and they leave the rims exposed such that curbing them is guaranteed. 245s should look and protect the rim better, have a bit more grip and, at least at the tire rack, they are cheaper and there are a lot more of them to choose from ( 4 times more choice).
From past experience, I’d probably get the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on the sportier end or the Continental DWS for a more refined/comfortable ride (softer sidewall = sloppy cornering though). I had the Cinturato P7 and thought they were OK but not special at all. They also got horribly noisy as they wore down. I’m running the P Zero A/S Plus on my SUVs and it’s a very good choice for a year-round tire. Its weakest characteristic is the less than stellar wet grip (get the DWS for that), but that’s not critical in SoCal.
