We can offer a CF wheel for ANY car since the centers are cut per application. The only issue is the carbon wheel barrel size. So long as there is a 19 or 20" barrel with the correct width, we can do it. For M3, we would probably do:


19x8.5 or 9 Fr; 19x11 Rr
20x8.5 or 9 Fr; 20x11 Rr

Apparently working on it quicker than I thought.

Here's a shot (bad one) of the CF43 on an R8 from the Top Marques show in Monaco...




And here's a photoshop we did on a Mercedes C63...

Wink ? Tire installation

Please advise future owners that they will need a tire install shop with a Corgi type machine.

This machine holds the wheels assy at the barrel (lug hole )and not the rim assy.

I had a CO2 cylinder puncture my new PS2 rear and I had to tow the car home and re-install my stock wheels and take the wheel assy over 100 miles to a shop with a approved machine....

I wouldnt take these wheels on a long drive out of town with a chance of a tire failure and to worry about a shop with the correct tire machine to install.

Gee-Bee
