Default New BC Forged MLE81 Wheels

I had the chance to finally get the new wheels mounted on the car. During the decision process, I kept going back and forth. Do I go with a standard monoblock wheel, or get something a bit out of my comfort zone, something that I’ve always liked. Well, I did just that. It’s not a look for everyone, but I’m completely satisfied with the vision I had for it. The wheels are from BC Forged, 20” MLE81 with a royal gold center, polished lip and black hardware. A fresh set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S to go with it, and to round it all out, TechArt springs, that are just amazing. The ride height is perfect, and the ride quality is very OEM like, which is what sold me. Here are some quick pics I took.

Forgot to add, these are the specs on the wheels.

Fronts: 20x9 ET 40
Rears: 20x12 ET 47

Stock specs are:
20x9 ET51
20x12 ET63


The fitment is pretty flush. I think I could’ve pushed a bit more up front and in the rear, but I’m satisfied with it.

Tastefully done!

What are those side skirts? I cannot tell if your car is narrow body or not.

Correct, wide body and the GT3RS skirts. It really enhanced the cars looks.

Appreciate the feedback guys. Again, not the direction I would normally go, but tried something different and pleased with the results.

Love it! - Really love the HRE Classic 300 look and maybe i will try these in 21 rear; 20 fronts with some more offset like you suggested. BC Forged is actually driving distance from my house - 1 hour North for me and would like install them on the car.

Sweet wheels! Sometimes you have to be a bit daring and just go for something different. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but if we all did the same thing it would be pretty boring!

Love those HREs, these are kind of a mix of those and the BBS LM style. I’ve had a few sets of BC Forged. For the price and quality, it’s a great bang for your buck.
