Brixton Forged RF7

Any one see these new Brixton Forged wheels? They're targeting the F8X market with them and they are super affordable. I believe they're start around $2300 and for 20x9.5 and 20x11 I've seen for as low as $2592. They come out this month so it's a pre order.

They're expected to land around the first week of March, retail is actually $2900.

There is a pre-order special going on however.

If you're interested I am a Brixton vendor and can set you up

Actually no I just bought them for $2592 from element wheels. Not sure I'll like them but worth a shot for that price. 2900 is even higher then brixtons website?

I don't think they're claiming them to be. They're calling them radial forged I believe

Very good looking wheel and concavity is nice. Lots of nice extra details that Brixton is known for. But kinda lame that they etched "FORGED +" on the wheel. Borderline misleading.

Even if vendors say they're "forged", the majority of forged aluminum plates are sourced out of China. Not all forged wheels are created equal. Stick with reputable brands with a long history of delivering quality products rooted in motorsport just like your M.

Do your homework on all these IG wheel companies. Ask questions. Make an informed decision.

These are BMW OEM wheels that come on the M3/M4 CS. Made by SAI; a Taiwanese company. They supply forged wheels for the M4 GT4 along with forged wheels for Ferrari and McLaren, even the P1. Not all manufacturing that comes from there lacks in quality.
