Did you get Augment’s forged aluminum or forged magnesium wheels?
The lighter magnesium wheels are appealing, but I’m wondering which would be best long term. I’ve read that if you ever get a bent magnesium wheel it can't be straightened again.
I went with the forged aluminum. I’ve been meaning to weigh them, I will soon!
Can you send a close up of the center caps? How did you make them?
The center-cap is completely custom modeled in SolidWorks, and I use the metal Mecan-sized wheel badge (thanks rennlister Alex from Oleg Car Improvements), and inlay it from behind (so it's mechanically locked in place... not glued). I print it in ABS (technically ASA... slightly better than ABS) plastic on my Ultimaker S5, then paint and assemble them.

That's a lot of effort and I applaud you for that!!
had my custom wheels machined by BCforged to allow mounting of the OEM center caps. I assume that is not a service Vossen offers? (I know HRE and ANRKY and others don't offer that either, one reason I like BCf)

True - a lot of effort, but, I can't stand them without a good center cap.
