Every time I see a new post in this thread, I begin salivating like Pavlov's dog. I keep thinking John has just posted pics of my wheels ready to be shipped.

Lmao 🤣

PM me your name. I apologize. I rarely connect the forum names to actual names. It's something I am starting to try and do more because of these situations. That said, shoot me a DM with your name and I will look where yours are. They might be done. There are a lot I haven't posted simply because these posts are kind of the first thing I skip when trying to juggle too many competing priorities at once.

Thanks!

Strength wise, there is no meaningful compromise in real world use. The windowed spoke is engineered around it, with extra reinforcement on the backside, and it still has to pass the same internal validation and test criteria as any design I will produce. In an edge case, a fully solid spoke could be stronger, but that is not the practical comparison.

Weight savings are not huge. Once you add the reinforcement back in to keep stiffness and strength where they need to be, it tends to be ounces, not pounds.

Not a rush John.

Dont want to give it all away.

I will just say 2 sets, magnesium, 19" diameter and a one of a kind width.

Same here 😆

Edit: just to clarify, John has been great through this process. I'm just anxious and excited to see the wheels. No issues on my end

This is a style I get a lot of questions about so a good one for today (non-G8x). Trying to mix it up.

(important to note that some colors really react to being under the harsh indoor overhead lighting and this is definitely one of them, actual color is darker than it appears here)

Is it possible to paint wheels to match our car paint color on 2 piece?... I will be ordering another set...on the fence between the camilla-due and chiara-due...would like the face to be painted Dravit-grey and have polished outer and gloss black hardware. Wondering if you have done it for any customers in the past at all. thank you

[MLife614]

Some minor road bumps from Fed-Ex delivery …but I’m truly happy with finished product…hope to get them mounted sometime this summer…planning to get through break-in first with OEM Pirelli tires first. Will most likely fit these wheels with some All season Michelins. Do not like using spacers. So will order another set for summer 2027 setup…and most likely sell my OEM wheels…just dont get why all BMW M wheels are Not made more aggressive offset from factory. Thanks again John for making these quality Forged wheels.

Brushed Titanium Satin vs Brushed Champagne Satin Anika wheels for IOMG G80 M3?

I like how warm/subtle/metal-look Titanium is, still gives bronze/gold vibes without being as obvious as Champagne IMO...did I just answer my own question?!

Would love to hear peoples thoughts, thank you!

Splitting hairs lol. Maybe go with one finish or another depending on what color your calipers and interior are. IOMG has yellow/gold flake so you can't go wrong with champagne. But some people may like the titanium (non-gold) finish more. Can't go wrong with either.

Thanks, will definitely post, however, waiting to do my break-in service first with once Ohio weather permits...plan to order tires in a couple of weeks...hopefully mounted by this summer around June/July...just want to get some use out of oem wheel and tires...before I sell them. lol

I am choosing the brushed titanium for the same reasons.
Why satin and not gloss? I think the gloss finish matches better with iomg

I'll have to look more closely at satin vs gloss. I keep going back and forth. What color is your car? Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[R8EDM]

My Brushed Gunmetal Gloss Anika's should be here by Thursday or Friday, I can't wait! I'll post pics when I get them.

Hopefully have them mounted up on the car by May, once the weather gets consistently warmer here in Wisconsin.

Can't wait to see the pictures on the car!

Do you have a real pic of the Elora in bronze or matrix gold?

Even better if it’s on a purple M2/240

If not could I see a render?

[R8EDM]

3 of the 4 wheels arrived yesterday, and the 4th is out for delivery right now. I am so pumped with the way they turned out! They are going on my '26 Dravit Grey 6MT and I think they are going to look great.

It's rainy and gloomy here in Wisconsin today, but I can't wait to see them in the sun

Looks great! I have a similar set up hopefully arriving this month. When did you place your order?

His order was placed 11/21, so like two weeks before yours. A lot of it just came down to what got finished before the holiday versus after.

I appreciate everyone’s patience, and I want to be upfront about it publicly, not just privately. Some orders are delayed right now.

The factory I use moved in February, which will be a big long-term benefit because throughput times should improve quite a bit, but in the short term it was disruptive. Combined with the two-week Lunar New Year holiday, a number of orders, especially from December, are behind where they should be.

I am working through that now.

The positive is that orders coming in now should actually be on the faster side relative to where I have historically been. The main challenge is getting through the backlog created by the move and holiday disruption.

I am headed back there next week, which should help. I am excited to see the new space and begin implementing a new production management system for the business. I have been working with a software engineer on an automated backend that will improve internal workflows. It will also support broader customer-facing improvements over time, including realtime order tracking and a heavily refreshed web site and ordering experience.

None of this happens as fast as I would like, but I am very excited about where BSPK is headed. I think 2026 is going to be a big year for taking the company to the next level.

Thanks again for the patience and support.
