As many of you may or may not know, my buddy bent all 4 of my 3 month old 19' Forgerstar F14's while driving my car.
While I was at the tire/wheel shop waiting to have my bent Forgestar F14's diagnosed I got an Email update from the forum to my Blackberry. While in the waiting area, I checked the update and it was EuroCarFan regarding the sale of his wheels. His updated post stated that his 20" 360 Forged Mesh 8's would indeed fit a non-M E60. How fortuitous! I had 4 bent wheels and Tony's 20's were now available. I immediately contacted ECF and within 30min we had come to an agreement via text message.

I have always coveted the Mesh 8's since Tony had the centers painted graphite. Like C's Bimmer, I am now a used hand me down wheels EuroCarFan wannabe, although better looking than either...which really isn't saying much.

The 360 Forged Mesh 8's are 20x9F, 20x10R. I went with Hankook V12 Evo 245/35-20F, 285/30-20R

The fitment is PERFECT! The offsets are very, very agressive. SO aggressive in fact that there is some minor rubbing when entering at an incline or at speed when going over a dip. In some pics it looks as though the front offset is too agressive and that wheels/tires protrude but it is an optical illusion. The outside edge of the front tire is actually perfectly even with the edge of the fender well...I used a strait edge and every thing lines up PERFECT. I have an appointment on Tuesday to have the rear fenders and leading edge of the front fender wells rolled. Nothing that the fender rolling won't fix.

My wife hates every mod that I have done to the E60 but guess what, she LOVES the Mesh 8's.

Thanks again Tony for the smooth transaction and for playing paypal tag with me. BTW, you're it!



Since I posted pics of my Forgestar F14's I have done a couple other mods as well:

M5 Mirrors
Rdsport roof spoiler
RDsport trunk spoiler
Sport steering wheel/round airbag

RPi Exhaust is shipped and arrives next Thursday!

Now, on to the pics!

 

 

 

 

although I am not a fan of 360Forged, the wheels do look great on your car.

 

wow!!!

 

Schweeet! I can see what you mean by the aggressive offsets, esp. in front. They look mean! Do some Brembo's after the exhaust. I am sure Amy won't mind.

I'll need to hear more about how your friend bent all 4 rims, and how you bitch-slapped him.

Good job, Bro.

 

looking good John

 

I love it! Hope this is a keeper.
Love the new mods! congrats.

 

Thanks John.

Thanks brother from another mother! Like I said in my OP, in some pics is does look as though the fronts protrude but it is an optical illusion. I used a straight edge against the front tire from the ground up to the wheel well and it lines up perfectly. !! As far as brembo's, the wheels wont clear and with these offsets, there can be no spacers.
