You are right. Yeah spoke to TSW and they said they are cold Forged like the Forgestar. I was told by the salesman at the Wheel/tire Dealer that they were forged. Anything to make a sale right? I spoke with Nerwyll and he said you can get your exact Offset with Forgestar, so for the xi guys you can get the 30 and 32 exact offsets. Seems like the Forgestar is better. Do not need spacers.
lol they arent cold forged they are free flow cast
lol forgestar is free flow cast so he lied to you

Oh and don't get mislead by Forgestar's name, they have a few line of actual forged wheels but those are in the $3,000+ range. The rest are flow form cast. Still good wheels though as they are a sister company/subsidiary of iForged.

)? I remember seeing 2 companies, one of them being a lot better than the other. If I want to change it up down the line I would consider them. Real Volk TE's are too hard to come by on the M3 forums.

Forgestar is actually made by I-Forged. When me and my cousin sent in pics of his 645i to I-Forged, they asked us if we wanted to try out a new wheel they made on my supra. I was about to buy a set until someone offered me a good price to sell my car. When I get an e60, I may get a set.
Also, TSW did make alot of the OEM wheels for BMW for a period of time. My old e46 came with the TSW stamp on the back side of the wheel.
