New track wheels! Light weight!

Hello guys!

Just wanted to share with you.

I recieved my new track setup rims today.

Ordered them from Signature wheels.
www.signaturewheel.com

Amazing quality and fantastic service!
Best recommendations from me!

9,5x19f
10,5x19r

Best thing is the weight.
Only 18lbs. ??????

Model is SV501

I will post pictures on the car later on! ?

Those are some sweet wheels, but damn expensive! Especially considering track wheels get dinged/bent from abuse over time.

I'd say they're price worthy.
At least from a weight/price aspect.

I think they’re beautiful, but saving a few pounds a wheel isn’t going to make a significant consistent time difference on track, even if it’s unsprung rotational mass. Too many other variables on track will eclipse those gains, unless you’re running at a pro level with a very well sorted and prepped race car, and are a great driver.

Again they’re beautiful, but bang for the buck there are many other mods that will yield far greater results.

I think it’s $4500 per set, but still, my set of Apex’s cost the same as one wheel.

not in my mind... There are TONS of wheels that weigh 18 lbs for a fraction of that price.

Congrats on the purchase. but at $1125 a wheel that's a lot of coin for style.

Nice wheel. Looks similar to the Apex SM-10 but at almost 4 times the cost. At least it's cheaper than the BBS FI-R.

If you go to the store section of the website it shows them as $4500/set.

Are they a forged wheel? If so, not unreasonable. Just the paint looks like it's $150/wheel. Nice finish. Satin powder coat?

Just looked them up. They are monoblock forged wheels in T6061 Al alloy. For comparison, my CCW forged wheels were $900 each before painting. Price looks appropriate if they are a quality manufacturer and it's a race-proven wheel.

Correct! And they are top quality!

I looked at the FI-R also, but they are more expensive!

I'd like to see all those other wheels that are sub 19lbs, that I can specify and have custom made. I'm really curious to see all of them since I couldnt find anything below 20-21lbs unless they were really really expensive...

I would start with Apex or other options available via popular BMW tuning facilities.

I used to be very much on top of the wheels game and there was even a database out there with wheel weights.

I currently have 2 sets of 18x 10 Apex wheels.
I have a friend that has FIVE Sets. I bet that his 5 sets have probably run around the same as this single set of wheels in this thread.

Please show me model and where I can specify my width and offsets?

Those are sweet.

I got the same sizes in the VMR 710FF. About 4lbs/wheel heavier, but were $1500/set total. It’ll be like carrying an extra 50lbs on the car.

But, I saved enough cash on the wheels to be able to spend a few hundred dollars more on each tire set so I could go with Pirelli Trofeo R’s, which will more than make up for the weight penalty.

Your wallet is now lighter than mine, tho, so that’ll save you some weight. Just teasing, I like your wheels.
