New Incoming...BC RT50

chefczyk · 06-09-2021, 09:25 AM

Grew up loving the simplicity of a 5 spoke monoblock wheel with a moderate width spoke (think Ruf classics) and wanted to replicate the look on the M2C.

I have always been a sucker for polished / brushed aluminum wheels and thought they would compliment the look of my AW M2C well. I must admit I may want to switch to M2CS calipers (red) after this change. But one step at a time.

BC Forged RT50

19x9.5 et 25 - flat profile
19x10.5 et 38 - mild profile

Will run my stock summer tires for now until I wear them out (eventually likely will go with a 275 / 285 tire in the rear)

Will post more pictures as I unbox (and weigh), but I expect the 19x9.5s to be <20lbs and the 10.5s around 20lbs, which should be ~4-6lbs lighter vs. the stock 788s.

The 788s will get A/S tires for November - March duty (generally mild here in Virginia, but still gets cold)

here they are pre-shipping! Can't wait.

Can't wait to see how these look. And they will be way easier to keep clean than my HRE.

latest news - BC Forged sent me the wrong rears (19x11 vs. 19x10.5) - so the wait continues!

I will report that the fronts are 20.6 pounds

Id consider more offset if you can still change if you want 285/35. Titan 7 are 44 and stock wheels are 40

Wheels look awesome. Definitely a classic design.
Are the widths & offsets customizable?
Can't wait to see them on the car. Keep us posted, OP!

Stock tires - fitment is spot on. I love it.

Thanks all!

I must admit that I wanted an aftermarket wheel that did not look like an OEM wheel..OEM wheels look awesome, but wanted something different!
