Thank you! Yeah, the wait won't be fun, hahaha. They do look like the P40SC, loved those wheels and I don't think they make them anymore. The FF01 has P40SC styling cues as well, I have a soft spot for this look.
$3750 USD shipped.
Thanks for the info. Car and photography looks on point!
Those will look very nice. They remind me of the HRE P40sc wheel, which I'm not sure you can get anymore. Very classy yet aggressive look. Good choice. Waiting 5 weeks is going to kill you!
The P40SC's are officially discontinued however as we are HRE's largest dealer we can still have them made on special order.
OP, where are BC Forged wheels manufactured?

Ugh. You are not helping. Now I’ve gone and spent an hour gathering pics of P40SCs on 997s from all over the web. But my current wheels (turbo II’s) are perfectly fine!

Ahh! (Logs off, shuts down, burns 650 calories on stationary bike as punishment).
Yesterday I placed an order for the BC Forged KL12 in a Brushed Clear finish. I reached out to Duwerke as he is a master of fitment and I went with his recommendation on even more aggressive specs:
On Monday BC Forged will send me 2D renders of what the wheels will look like with those specs for approval, after that they go into production! They said it should take around 5 weeks.
Here are some pics of the wheels and photoshop edits I made:
Looking forward to how it will all look mounted. Considering some BC forged as well. Did you opt for the anti-slip knurling?
I love your photography! Would you photo my car? Btw i really like the black Carrera logo on the back. I am now thinking of doing that to my 2005. Have you added LED lights to the interior as well?

I did not, if you track/launch your car I think it makes more sense then.

Thank you, if you are in the area we can meet up for a photo shoot during the summer. No LED interior lights yet, I may go for it this year.
Please double check that front fitment, 19x9 et 43.
When I was fitting wheels, I found 19x8.5 et 45 to be flush with outside of fender.
My calculations will give you 8mm poke with that setup.
Unless you are running flares or large negative camber.

Keep in mind that my car is lowered, as you drop the car the wheels tuck-in. 19x9.0 ET43 should be flush fit with my suspension setup.
I got the 2D drawings back for approval today, and I am moving forward with the order. The wheels will be quite concave and have 22mm pockets I cannot wait to see them on the car!
I confirmed with Jonathan from BC Forged that their wheels are manufactured in Changhua City, Taiwan. They are made from 6061-T6 aluminum in a state of the art facility: https://www.bcforged-na.com/manufacturing/
"We now have 3 forging presses, heat treat equipment, countless CNC lathes and mills, all powder coating equipment, testing equipment, etc in house. All manufacturing, from physically producing forging molds and die sets to forging to finishing, is done under one roof." - Jonathan

LMAO. These pictures won't help you much then. Made in the U.S.A.
I just got my set of BC's delivered last month to replace my LM-Rs. I'm a sucker for a fat 5 spoke wheel and used to have the same set in in bright brushed on my S5 years ago. I went for 19x9 et50/19x12 et60 myself with as deep of pocket as we could pull off without running super aggressive camber. I personally had to switch to Rennline upper camber plates on the more aggressive side and max out the rear camber. You will need to find room for an additional 7mm.
OP, best of luck to you with the BC Forged wheels. Looking forward to photos once they get on the car & more importantly long term durability results!
Thanks! I am 100% confident in the durability, if I wasn't I would not have bought them. Those P40SC are sooo nice, love that finish!

Interesting, how low are you? Do you have a Carrera Narrow Body? Here are some photos of a 2011 Carrera Base I shot with 19x9.0 ET46 / 19x11.5 ET54, as you can see they still tuck ever so slightly:

Mine is pretty low and NB as well. The rear camber is just about maxed out and front is over 2 degrees on rennline mounts. I have yet to align it so don't know the exact specs. 305/30/19 Michelin PSS looks fairly stretched and the edge sticks out another 4-5mm past the rim edge. Tough to get a good photo in the garage since it's middle of winter here but hope these help. That red C2 is running very aggressive camber, probably more then most would along with a very low suspension. I literally did 2 weeks of research before settling on those figures myself.
