vortex_tuning · 01-21-2009, 11:40 PM

Hello E90 Enthusiasts,

We are very excited to release the following teaser images of VT996, one of the new wheels we have in the works. We would appreciate your feedback! And we will listen. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. The following images are renders of the rear wheel. We will release more informaion later on. Please let us know what you think. Let's build some kick ass wheels, shall we?

Thanks,
Sonia

Turbo>NA · 01-22-2009, 01:10 AM

Price? Weight?

FrankiE90 · 01-22-2009, 03:59 AM

looks great.
what are the offsets for planed sizes front and rear.
can u concave them a bit more and make em 19x10 in the rears? with 25 offset.

Bluesummer · 01-22-2009, 03:59 AM

M3 offset?

Prissy · 01-22-2009, 12:18 PM

We will release pricing information soon. They will be priced very competitively. We will know the exact weight after the design is finalized. But my estimate would be about 26lbs for the 19x9.5.

I will definitely forward your comment on concavity to our engineers. I will keep everyone posted on this.

The offsets:
19x8.5 ET30
19x9.5 ET33 (non-M) ET22 (M)

No plan for 19x10.0.

BTW, we would appreciate your feedback on the offsets.

It's funny how old designs are coming back, very nice and bold rim.

mkaaes · 01-22-2009, 04:43 PM

You mean like this?

If there is enough interest we will bring them in Time Attack.

Really like those, definitely in the top running for me as soon as I get my wife to let me buy some wheels.

Quick update. We are modifying the spokes to get more concavity. Given the offset and size, more concavity could mean smaller lip. Another option would be changing how the spokes bend before joining the lip. We are exploring different options to see what would work the best and will post images as we go.

looking good! what colors well they come in?

i would be interested in time attacks. looks good. i also agree on more concave. i'm willing to sacrifice lips for more concave.

jrsbeamer335 · 01-23-2009, 02:08 PM

if the price is right i might get me a set

BMW MotorSport · 01-23-2009, 05:41 PM

Thanks!

And a quick update.

We are working on many of the small design details. We expect to have more images soon. Please stay tuned.

Quisp · 01-30-2009, 12:15 AM

It looks Te, but I like TEs so that is a good thing. Curous about how they will be priced and the various colors. Something with a brushed lip would be cool too.

vortex_tuning · 02-13-2009, 11:01 PM

We have our latest design images now. We were able to add more concave. Enjoy guys!

phattbam · 02-15-2009, 11:40 AM
