First Look: Klassen MS03 Monoblock Series

tom @ eas · 04-29-2015, 02:18 PM

Being a premier Klassen dealer we always get to see what's behind the scenes as well as "in the know" on new product releases. Here's a quick look at the upcoming Klassen MS03 Monoblock wheel from Klassen in RAW form, fresh off the CNC before it goes off for prep/painting.

Model: MS03
Platform: Monoblock
Availability: First release in 19" with 20" in Q3.
Construction: Lightweight 6061 - T6 aerospace grade aluminum
MSRP: TBD
Widths: 19"x8.0"~ 19"x11.5", Wider widths will be available in Q3.
Weight: Starting at 18lbs

We especially like the detail to attention taken for weight savings like 3D milling and pocketing while still focusing on wheel overall strength and integrity. With BMW setting the bar high on OEM 19" wheels at ~21lbs, this is awesome news for those looking for a strong, lightweight wheel for their F8X coming in with a starting weight of just at 18lbs, keeping both form and function.

Very exciting things coming from the Klassen, they will definitely be a serious contender on the BMW platform.

In the meantime, it's off for prep/paintwork. We'll be debuting these at Bimmerfest in a few weeks on our project M4.

Those look amazing! I'm scared to see the MSRP, though.

Any more pics of it mounted?

No doubt it'll hurt. But that's cool to see 19's that light though.

This just came off the CNC today, it's the first set. We'll be updating once they are prepped/painted.

Wow these look good. Interested in seeing these mounted!

AlpineE92M3 · 04-29-2015, 07:55 PM

Those look great! Agreed on scared of the price point.

rubber_ducky · 04-29-2015, 09:09 PM

Wow. Just wow

mdrobc13 · 04-30-2015, 01:54 AM

Look great but can imagine the cost!

metrickid · 04-30-2015, 08:14 AM

Looks great but as the others have said I bet I have to sell my kidney to get them.

mshab356 · 04-30-2015, 08:40 AM

How much weight is the paint/clear coat going to add?

Negligible at most. Definitely one of the lightest wheels soon to be on the market for M3/M4.

hellrotm · 06-02-2015, 11:57 AM

That color doesn't work well with the Austin Yellow.

I just bought my M52R, very light and love the look! They aren't too expensive. Definitely more affordable then HRE/BBS, but also high quality forged.

I need these wheels with some R888! ðŸ˜
