I want that rear setup. Diffuser and tips. r they in stock and ready to ship? cause im ready to buy. And quick question, if i end up going with the bmw performance exhaust, can i run it with those vs tips?

Yes, these are the flow formed version of the forged VSE-003.

They say "Flow Forged" not "Flow Formed". How much weaker are they really is the question?

PMed!, the M Performance Exhaust and most aftermarket (90mm tips) exhaust fit with the diffuser.

The Vorsteiner Flow Forged (V-FF) are substantially stronger than fully cast wheels, while the Vorsteiner Fully Forged (VSC,VSE,VSR) wheels have a 100% forged construction and are the strongest in their lineup.

Weights are comparable between fully forged and flow forged as well and it comes down to the amount of customization needed on the specific setup and personal preference.

If memory serves, "flow forming" is the actual technical term used for that specific process of wheel manufacturing. "Flow Forged" is the name Vorsteiner gave to their wheel line, similar to the HRE "Flowform" wheels or several others.

I trust you found them!

We have very ambitious plans for 2015! Our shop M4 “Club Sport” will undergo some changes designed to show its ever-evolving journey, and we have committed to immersing it into the world of motorsport, with several events planned.

For the time being, the OEM wheels are back on while we await a brand new set, which should arrive shortly. The Vorsteiner front lip was damaged during our trip across the country, so it was also removed. Here are a couple of photos from a recent car meet:

Amazing build and amazing thread, subscribed!

[Blindside_137]

Hey PSI, my dad can't decide between austin yellow or sakhir. Would you mind doing a photoshoot that has a few overhead shots of your M4?

I'm trying to sell him on the orange and plus who doesn't want to see your amazing build from that angle?

[Sean@PSI]

Let me see what I can do.

We have been working with CCW to develop several new models and fitments that are F8x specific. Here is the latest result, with a lot more coming shortly!

Specs:
Front - 19 x 10 (295/30/19)
Rear - 19 x 11 (325/30/19)
TOYO R888 tires
BC Racing BR (prototype) coil overs
Brembo 380mm BBK Front/Rear

The wheels pictured are a track only setup made to clear BBK and is the widest setup available. These are test wheels - brushed aluminum that has been shot peened and clear anodized.
