Foregline VX1 wheels on the A45

Hi Guys

Thought I'd share my new wheel setup of these forged wheels.
They are Forgeline VX1 wheels and have weight savings of 1.5kg per wheel and are 8.5" over the 8" stock width also they really make the brake calipers stand out. These were ceramic coated prior to installation to make cleaning easier

Forgeline have been around for over 20 years in USA, and the owner David Schart is heavily involved in motorsport. The quality of these wheels is on par with HRE or BBS F1 series
Forgeline is based in Ohio USA
These wheels are a fully forged monoblock wheel


This is my second set of Forgeline wheels and I've never looked back since owning the first set. These are 1.1 kg lighter per wheel than the OE wheel and .5" wider. After doing a number of track days in the supercharged v8 M3 and now the A45 I would not be happier with the wheel setup
