Any interest in starting a RAC MONOLITES group buy for the E60?


What do you guy's think?

I had RAC RG4s on my 2005 M3 - they are very, very cool wheels! They are manufactured for RAC by the same people who manufacture Champion Motorsports wheels - they are forged and very nicely finished. I wasn't aware Ralph and Chuck (RaC, get it?) were making wheels for e60's.

These are awesome wheels... If I didn't have a set of BBS LM's these would be my next choice...

For all the folks posting "what Wheels", "help me choose"... Choose these

Light weight wheels improve your cars dynamics

they look like a certain BMW BBS OEM rim....cant remember which one though.... is this more lighter?

Yes they are several pounds lighter. In fact all of their wheels are super lightweight and very strong. (8000 TON FORGED in Japan like BBS LM's) That's why I wanted to get a group buy together for them if you guy's are game. Just trying to gauge interest here, because I want a chance to get these wheels myself as well. (at a group buy price)

I asked RAC what it would take to get a group buy price on any one of the two different wheel models above, and they told me if we can get enough people together at the same time they would do it. (15 orders minimum) RAC said that they could discount the wheels as much as $800 per set. So at approx. $4250 per set for 20" 8000 TON FORGED 1-piece wheels that are as good as NEEZ or BBS. Think about that for a minute guy's. RAC wheels for the E60 platform weigh between 21.8-23.8 lbs each. (front and rear) Most of the other wheels made for the E60 are 28-33lbs. each easy. The new HRE forged monoblocks that are coming out for the E60 will weigh about 25-27 lbs each (f&r) according to HRE. (which is kinda dissapointing) And of course we all know that HRE's are not exactly cheap to buy.$$$$ I would really like something lighter than that, and it would be cool if we could get a better group buy price to boot.

NEEZ wheels are really light...but they are no bargain either. $$$$

A group buy for either one of the RAC MONOLITE wheels would be a really great deal if we can get enough people together at one time.

RAC told me (and confirmed by an M5 owner I know) that weight of the first wheel with the lip is 21.8lbs! wow...

The last pic shows the weight of their E46M3 version of the second wheel I posted earlier.

Come on guys! I gotta have one of these two wheels.

Who's with me?

These are great no-nonsense purposeful performance wheels.

Cleveland, are you combining whoever's in for the group buy here with the guys on the M5Board to get to the 15 set minimum?

Cleveland

Just trying to find enough people to keep the dream alive. I want these wheels myself, so I am motivated to make this happen. It's tough trying to get enough E60/E63 people together to get a great product at a great price. People jump on and off constantly. It's driving me nuts to tell you the truth. I am willing to do the work but it's tough you know.

I hope everyone here can see what a golden opportunity this is, so they will join up to get a these beautiful wheels. I want them SO bad.

Are you aware there is a group buy on m5board.com?

I believe they are allowing non board members to participate.

I guess the RAC's are the rims without the lip..correct?

They are both RACs but just different styles.
