What wheel specs and tire specs did you get?

Looks like very good proportions and sizing!

I have a 2017 Alpine White F80 M3 ZCP and thought the clear brush would pair well with the white exterior.

I opted for the aggressive fitment:
Front: 20"x9.5" ET22
Rear: 20"x11" ET38

The fitment is absolutely flush with my Michelin PS4S:
Front: 275/30/20
Rear: 295/30/20

I am running the Eibach V1 springs just for that subtle drop. Hope you enjoy!

They sure do pair well with your car I hope equally as well with my Atlantis Blue car. Going to re finish the 666's in gloss black as a 2nd set to swap for a different look as the car has gloss black features everywhere except for the roof. No carbon inside all gloss black.

Contemplating the lowering too.

The 20" 666's already rub up front on full lock so I assume the Richland will also. Not sure why some cars say they rub and others says they don't even with same tyres wheels and suspension settings

Got my new 19" GT4s in matte black mounted today and chose Continental ECSs to be a bit different.

Edited to load a before and after photo. You gotta click on the photo and zoom out to see the full photo.

What tire size?

285/35/19 & 265/35/19

No spacers, no drop, completely stock.

Standard offset for RF, not aggressive.

Any rubbing? With full wheel lock?

Is that the 19x10.5 rear? Any stretch with 285 tire?

Yes it's the 19"x10.5" ET+35 for rear & 19"x9.5" ET+25 for front.

a 10.5" wheel is supposed to accommodate a 265-295 tire, so a 285 should be considered a perfect fit

I'm not sure how to fully tell if there's "stretch"…but I don't see any odd distortion to the sidewall.

None!

One of our favorites!

Does anyone know what kind of warranty does Richland Forged offer on their RF-GT4 wheels? Couldn't find information on their website

[richlandforged]

Oh those F82 lines 📐📐📐. This set finished in our Brushed Tinted Clear!

Living down under always makes purchases from O/Seas a bit of a gamble but not so in my experience with Richland Forged.

My car had a set of 20" 666's (I purchased it as a used car) which I was not in love with

I agonised over the choice of forged wheels after looking at a million pics from @dubsesd instagram page as his car is also Atlantis Blue (not that it ever looks like it is in his great pics).

In the end I went with the Richland Forged GT4's as value for money and the look I was trying to achieve and couldn't be happier with the end result, brushed tinted clear is the finish.

They patiently answered my many questions and 3 changes of mind before shipping a set of 20" GT4's in 9.5 and 10.5 for fitting to my Atlantis Blue F80.

I used Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 275/30 and 295/30 and with my new suspension set up there does not appear to be any rubbing at this stage not even on full lock up front. I think the tyres fit the wheels perfectly.

Also did a stage 1 chip while I was at it so now I have the car pretty much where I like it, maybe add a bit of carbon on the outside at some stage.

I have an M5 Nighthawk that has all the bells and whistles as far as power upgrades go so the M3 didn't need to be the same animal.

We have developed and released two brand new finishes available for build configurations!!!

• Iced Gold

I have the brushed competition gold & thinking about a refinish myself (as much as that brush gold finish is something to behold & I feel it's a downright shame to get rid of it...)

Yes, my wheel faces were cut on a lathe and part of the surface of the wheel machined off to leave a shiny alloy finish. The barrels were powdered coated a dark grayish color. The wheels were stripped and sand blasted first.

They really look great! I didn't even think about that as a possibility for changing my wheel color. I may have to steal your idea. LOL Definitely the machined face with a nice clear.

Thanks for the response!!

Love my RF-GT4s! Brushed Tinted Dark

[aliiin]

Does anyone have a side by side photo of the iced gold and brushed competition gold?

I have BSM and really like the OEM 763M in frozen gold. I was told the iced gold is closest to this color, but both iced gold and brushed competition gold look pretty similar to my eyes. Having trouble deciding.

Any input?

Love this.

I'm in Australia as well. How did you go about ordering from overseas? How much did it set you back as I'm really interested in a set also. Looks mint
