I worked for CEC (Azev's US importer) several years ago, and my contacts there tell me the new C/F Azev wheel doesn't have a hope of passing US DOT tests... It's mostly a 'design exercise.' Neat concept though.

Also, it's too bad they use cast centers instead of forged.

Richie

I have held that wheel in my hands and it is LIGHT!!!!

Manaray

very light as Richie said but like SoCal said, they should have done forged centers...I mean they spent all that energy making the lips light, then they smack on a heavy center?

Another issue (aesthetically) with them is that they'll make your wheels look MUCH smaller since the lip is black....so your 19's will look like 17's...

Biggie, if you're gonna spend that kind of money, why not get the new Rays Magnesium wheels?

Richie

True, these wheels where on an Evo 7 at Essen and they looked a bit smallish. The guys at Azev told me they are only making them in 18's.

its supposed to be a performance wheel, so we gotta excuse the appearance issue for them. the cast center is another stance though

and it won't pass DOT specs? that's just funny

biggie27

yah I wasnt planning on buying it, I just thought the concept of the rim was a pretty good idea, unfortunatly Im selling my GS400 . but Im replacing it with this

this is not the car Im getting bit its the same color and has the same exact mods that I want

ps since IM in kuwait I get the european spec M3 with the extra HP and options

JYOO

SELLOUT, just kidding, i would jump on that M3 in a second!

So u live in Kuwait? No more Washington?

Ill take some parts off the GS for ya, L-Tuned suspension please,

Manaray

Nice Biggie...the M3 is a nice car...one of the few BMW's I'd actually consider owning (if I got for a killer deal...that way I'm covered for repair expenses! )

Hey, what kind of wheels are those on the M3??? Hmmm...is that a 4" rear lip I see there?

Richie

Biggie, are you getting an SMG?

biggie27

yah Im getting a 2004 M3 SMG, and if Im not mistaken those look like I-forged wheels, and the lip on them is just amazing, I was also thinking about the SSR GT3 in satin with a polished lip would look real good on that car too
