Richland Forged RF-GT4: “Project Nürburg” Release

[mfurse]

A few people have swapped to 19's either as a full set or as a M performance wheel upgrade (19's front/20's rear) and found the ride improved due to the additional side wall on the fronts. 18's would be best for ride if they clear your brakes.

Unfortunately, no. You may want to contact Richland Forged and see if they received any feedback from owners that have gone to a 19/20 setup.

we need more photos of this, please

Has anyone gone the staggered CS way (19 front 20 back)?

What tire sizes and wheel offsets would be recommended for that setup? I have the 666 wheels with 12mm spacers right now and would like to basically have the same poke.

Unboxed



Ceramic coating going on

What color is that?

Wow. I’m gonna need a set of these wheels. Just trying to figure out what fitment I want to go with.

I purchased 19" fronts and 20" rears from Lyle at Richland Forged in the DSPEC a while back. They are amazing wheels and the customer service is outstanding! The ride is much smoother with 19" in the fronts with the increased sidewall. Below is a link to a post answering your question above.

Interesting. Thank you for the info. Need to study the offsets a bit more but I like how yours came out.

I did it. Stock suspension, getting the slightest rubbing at full lock on the front of the tire. Nothing a heat gun can't fix.

Front: 19"x9.5" ET+22, 265/35/r19 PS4S

Rear: 20"x10.5" ET+35, 295/30/r20 PS4S

Turned out really nice.

Got these the other day

Which color is this. The gold?

Thanks. Trying to figure out which would go nicer with the Macau Blue on my Jahre.

Beautiful color.

I ordered the color samples from Richland. The gold looks very... Yellow. Just like in the pics. The bronze is a little brown for my taste. However, the m-spec frozen gold isn't an option. I'm happy with the bronze on my Avus blue -- it doesn't scream STI very loudly

Interesting…so, would you say the Tinted Bronze is closer to the OEM Frozen Gold?

I am looking for an understated, subtle rim color to best match my M2C Hockenheim, the 763M frozen gold would be perfect, but not at 60% price delta. IMO I don't want/prefer black rims, they fade too much within the wheel well…and anything in the gray/silver colour scheme is too 'plain'
(me thinks, as I haven't seen any of the RF colours live)

No. The Richland bronze is nowhere near frozen gold, it's a true bronze. If anything their gold is closer to oem, just way too yellow for what I was looking for. I actually took a pic of the sample they sent next to the oem frozen gold. Couldn't. Get used to the look. The pics a couple posts up seem to represent the gold color very accurately

Thanks for chiming in! I as well thought that their gold is too yellow, thus strongly leaning towards Tinted Bronze…but still NOT 100% sure.

Guess I have to order the sample set to see which one will better match the Hockenheim. I will say this though, the OEM Frozen Gold is proper good match…

Just sharing my thoughts on my buying experience with Richland.

I recently acquired a 2016 M3 in Atlantis Blue and then spent weeks looking at pictures of @dubsesd mighty Atlantis M3 and his frequent wheel changes.

Mine has 666 20" from factory but I am not a fan.

I was going HRE but after joining here discovered Richland Forged and have gone down that Project Nurburg pathway instead in 9.5 x 20 x22 and 10.5 x 20 x 35 as recommended often here.

They were fabulous and patient as I fired off email after email, it's always a bit tricky living down under and purchasing from the USA.

I was going with brushed dark clear initially but after receiving the car have decided to go with a brighter look and have ordered brushed tinted clear.

A big thumbs up so far to Richland now the wait for the wheels to arrive and be shipped down under.

Absolutely love my Richland Forged Project Nurburgring GT4s.

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!

Looks fantastic! I want the same Tinted Clear for my Sakhir Orange F82!
