E63 CCB Wagon: new forged wheels, and dog/xmas tree duty!

Thought you guys might enjoy some updated photos! I bought Ralcbah's BC Forged wheels before he traded in car, and they fit and look pretty damn good on my wagon, even as low as it is. 305 rear tires, no rubbing! Color is hard to get right in pictures, but basically it is halfway between the paint and the caliper color, and I think it works pretty well. Got them put on just in time to go grab a Christmas tree with my big dumb dog in tow... hey, it is still a wagon, right? I might not need this much power to do these type of chores...but hey, I'm not complaining

I'm picking up our tree this weekend. I planned on using our wagon for that too but was worried about the tree trunk damaging the glass or the roof. I didn't think about it sitting in the center like that and really, other than protecting the paint behind the sunroof, it seems like there is minimal risk. awesome!! Thanks for the pics!! I thought I'd have to buy roof rack cross bars to support the tree.

Yep! Ask them for paper if they have it - that is what is under the tree on the roof in those pics. Keeps off any sap and limits scratches! They can tie down directly to the roof racks, no problem

Good question - I'm not exactly sure since I got them second hand. If you are looking for a set, check with BC Forged - these are built with their recommended E63 offset/spec and fit perfect
