Our friend Chris (@chrisreardon91) came by the shop with his E46 M3 track car to get a sneak peek at our new 18″ EC-7R forged wheels in our new Brushed Clear premium finish. The new R version has a similar look as our classic flow formed EC-7 with added features such as “I” beam spokes, paintless knurled beading and a higher load rating at 1800 lbs. The EC-7R provides plenty of clearance for the large Brembo 355mm front brake kit.
