Aodhan AFF7 Foreged Wheels on Model 3

[230SRFR]

Totally agree, but a lot of companies do it. It seems they each have their own patented buzz word for flow forming. "Flow form" might even only be popular because Konig advertises that way?

I assume you're the same guy from FB who asked about these? Here's another old photo from when I mounted tires. Like I said, I haven't had issues. They're inexpensive, 1653 lb load rating is pretty high compared to Konig (which I've also not had issues with), 20 some pounds is fairly light weight. The 8.5's you mentioned won't be as concave. When I was researching the purchase, I saw some YouTubers who said Aodhan won't warranty their bent rim, but it appeared most had hit curbs. I would buy another set if they offered something 10+ inches wide.

Do you recall the size of the tires there in your pic? Thanks

On my 2018 LR AWD, lowered on TSportline springs. 20x9 +30, 245/35/20 Conti DWS06+

Only had them for about 1k miles, no issues. I thought they were a perfect match for the chrome trim which I know most people hated. With the wheel color to compliment it, I thought it looked perfect. Replaced the car with a '21 LR AWD, just ordered another set yesterday, but black. Hard to beat the weight savings and concavity at that price. FYI they're having a 10% off sale through Memorial Day.

And here's my plan for the matte black ones after some photoshop. Thoughts on caliper color? Stuck between Porsche Speed Yellow, Acid Green and Bright Blue.

Litterally my 1st post. Picked up the car on the 14th, and put a set of the AAFs on 4 days later. 2022 M3P on stock suspension. MPP Sport COs coming soon.

Looks really good! I debated for weeks on 19x9.5 vs 20x9s. Probably should have gone 19s for weight and tires but they both are a win win.

Dude I can't agree with you more...I really really like the LOOK of 20's, but I had to go with 19's again...such mental battle

They key for me on why yours is perfect is the 35 series tire. With the 40 series, the setup still looks on the conservative side. But, I cant justify the range impact 265s would bring so the 20s were the compromise. Enjoy!

Any one seen the hyper silver ones on a black M3?

 

[canasion35]

Anybody else running these with spacers to bring out the rear?

 

[E.Potter]

I don't really think you have to...since its a wider wheel...I mean if you want it Hella flush then yeah... I was going to get these, but I decided on something else since everyone jumped on them....besides I LOVE mesh wheels

yes and it looks gorgeous

 

[canasion35]

There is a 20x10.5 +35 option….I wonder how that works and looks on a model 3. Anyone try that size on our cars yet?

 

[E.Potter]

they would be fine in the rear not the front without help:

 

[superflyrolla]

Agreed. 10.5 +35 will fit the rear, need like a 5mm spacer in front depending on what rotors you're using. Camber required. I wish they offered the 10.5 in a 18" or 19" and I would have been all over them.

 

[canasion35]

Thank you for the helpful information guys - greatly appreciated. If anything I can go with the 20x10.5 rear, and 20x9 fronts as the 9’s already fill out the front well.

 

[superflyrolla]

Just to be clear, I think you still want a little camber to fit the rear. I wouldn’t bolt that on a stock 3 but I also wouldn’t run staggered wheels.

You could check out Aspira’s 19x10.5 wheels. I believe they’re +33 or +35 and have fitment suggestions.

If all you care about is looks, why waste money on wider wheels/tires? Just get 15/20mm spacer-adapters and call it good.

They are +33.
I'm gonna quote Aspira's fitment 'suggestions' so that people are aware of what's involved.

1. OEM 2 piece rotors on Performance Model 3's will need to purchase the Aspira 10mm spacer, extended shank or slip on, netting a +23 ET due to the thinner OEM 2 piece rotor hat. Recommended Front camber -3 to -3.5. Extended studs are recommended for the front axles.

2. Most other aftermarket BBK's and non oem 2 piece rotors can purchase the Aspira 5mm slip spacer. Extended studs are recommended for the front axles. Net +28 ET.

3. Alignment, Front Camber -3 to -3.5, Rear Camber -2.5 to -2.7.

I think fitting 20x10.5s in the rear with a +33 offset with a tire that's not a stretch for that rim (meaning 285/30+) will require tons of rear camber. That is camber AND toe arms.
