BMW E92 M3 With EC-7R Forged Wheels

Our customer Ken (@kppy86 ) stopped by to check out our new forged wheels. He currently runs a few sets of our flow-formed wheels, the SM-10 for street and EC-7 for track in the Bimmer Challenge racing series. We mounted up a wide square setup of 18×10.5″ et22 EC-7R forged wheels featuring our new Polished finish. The EC-7R wheel easily cleared the large Rotora 380mm front big brake kit and features I-beam spokes to reduce weight while maintaining strength. Our new forged wheels also feature paintless knurled beading along the barrel to reduce unwanted tire slippage.
