Any pics of RF-GT4 on a BSM F80?

[qwyjibo]

I know it's a long shot and I hate posting such a silly question but, does anyone with a BSM F80 have the RF-GT4 from Richland and can post a couple pics? I've searched high and low and haven't found that specific combination.

I'm about to pull the trigger on an order for those or for BC Forged TD02 and I'm torn on the color to go with. It's down to the tinted black or the tinted dark but now I started thinking the tinted clear might look good too. So obviously I'm all over the place. Lol.

What say the forum between Richland and BC Forged? And then what color on a BSM F80?

Isn't the RF-GT4 a 763m rep? I would assume you can just google BSM on 763m's and you'll find your answer! That being said I recently transacted with Richland and bought myself the RF-DSpec which is a 666m rep but much better lol!

Lol. Yea I tried that. Got a couple hits but I really wanted to see them in one of the colors Richland has for sale. I know it was a long shot.

Good to know on the transaction. I've talked with them via PM so far and they have been super helpful.

They're legit! Wait is long though is be prepared for that. I think my wheels took 8 to 10 weeks from production to shipping at my home.

I don't know much about the BC Forged wheels to help you compare but I love my tinted dark RF-GT4s that came on my Mineral Gray F80. I live really close to Lyle and he was kind enough to show me the tinted black in person. They looked really close to my tinted dark since my ceramic coating makes them a bit darker. They are beautiful wheels and I get a lot of compliments on them. I love supporting a small local company as well. Hopefully someone will have a pic for you. Good luck and post pics of whatever you end up choosing!

They look great! Are there any significant differences between the RF and the OEM? I'm starting to consider these too now

Better offsets, wider rims and a deeper wheel face for starters. That and they're fully forged so they're light as hell. I got mine in Brushed Tinted Dark as well and love them.

Thanks for the pics. They almost have a bronze-ish look to them in a few pics and then look matte grey in others. Is that just light or angle?

These are the same color as above? They look like the brushed clear instead. Or my eyes are playing tricks on me. Lol

The lighting really changes how they look. They are ceramic coated which makes them darker as well. Most of the time in normal daylight they look like the outdoor pictures. The more matte looking pictures are in the shade and garage. You do see some bronze on occasion if the lighting is just right which is why I included the one pic where it is very noticeable. I'm guessing that is because of my flourescent work light laying next to the wheel.

I agree, these look more Hyper Silver or Brushed Tinted Clear to me. Maybe MJ6 can verify.

It does look more Hyper Silver in the pictures, however that's also in direct sunlight. Like you mentioned they have a tendency to shift depending on the lighting.
I attached a photo of them more in the shade as well as one oblique shot out of direct sunlight. I do agree that our two do look different though and I was originally going to ask if yours was actually Brushed Tinted Black, lol

Mine do look like the Tinted Black with the ceramic coating on them. Lyle set a Tinted black wheel right next to mine and you really couldn't tell much difference. Not sure if the darkness could possibly vary with the manufacturing process as well since they are hand brushed?

That's also a distinct possibility. Funny enough I had mine ceramic coated as well, but I suppose that could come down to the product used, how many coats, etc...

The manufacturing process could also be a good indicator; even though they're made the same way there are bound to be individual "personalities" given the nature of the hand brushing technique. Just makes these wheels all the more unique though!

What ceramic coating did you guys use? I'm looking at the GTecniq one.

C5 works extremely well w/their clear. Make sure you buy the larger size bottle if you opt for the 20" offering. Doesn't hurt to have a bottle of C2V3 on hand to maintain.

I would say go Signature SV104 they just look amazing and machining is impressive. I have pics on my Intagram. Also you can get any width/offset.
