Fire Orange BMW F80 M3 With EC-7R Forged Wheels

We invited our customer Zach (@issuhm3) to bring his Fire Orange F80 M3 out to our shop for a photoshoot with our new 18” EC-7R forged wheels. Once Zach arrived, we mounted up a set of the EC-7R’s in our new Brushed Clear finish, and headed out to the old Alameda Naval Base. With a load rating of 1,800 lbs, these new forged wheels armed Zach’s F80 to be a serious weapon, both on the street and at the track. We figured there was no better way to display his F80’s newfound firepower, than in the presence of the USS Hornet. With a beefy 18” setup, you really can’t go wrong with the aggressive and flush appearance that the EC-7R’s provide on the F8X chassis.
