Any pictures of your wheels SuperHung?

thanks!
I'll post some pics when I get a chance ...I was purposely holding out on posting any pics to wait until my car was 'complete' but everything looks like it's taking longer than expected so I'll just post some pics my wheels sometime soon I guess.

I was thinking about getting a e63 amg, but then I found out this one girly man got it, so I decided against it!!

J/K I'm not baller enough like him to afford it

Wait until the C63 comes out and save over $20,000. Plus it will handle better.

Prob another company getting on the BIG Rim craze and trying to cash in. Their motto, "let's make big shiny heavy wheels in China and charge lot's of money to make people think they are the good". I swear a I see new rim company every other day.

BP
Being these are multi piece forged wheels them being made in china is highly unlikely... most forged wheels are cut in the states via CNC machines.
We actually make forged wheels here in NY and order most of the aluminum wheels from china.

Believe it or not but the "big rim craze" is actually dying out... the profit margin is very small.
10 years ago i was able to buy 22" spinners with adapters that fly off cars for $200-300 from china and turn around and sell them for $2000-3000.
Unfortunately those days are over.... aluminum pricing went up and many companies killed the market (ebay really ruined it).
As of today im sitting here in my shop and barely breaking out even but then again its dead season and the economy is bad... every business has been complaining.... hopefully march comes and i start making money so i can get the M6 :x

BTW,these guys are not new to the wheel game... E-forged is made by the same guys who make enzo wheels and LA wire wheels.

IMO those eforged rims look way too flashy. The styling of the rims wouldn't compliment your E60. Those rims belong on minivans and suvs. You're better off without all that chrome.
