Also WhatsApp is widely used in Singapore, especially in business. It is often the fastest way to get hold of a business colleague.

Thank you, and yes I will be in touch in the near future for some wheels for my G82.

Agree.

I am interested in set of brushed bronze MF110 19" that is an OEM fit on a G80 for a dedicated snow tire (like Pirelli Sottozero or Vrederstein Wintrac).

Hello.

I too am corresponding with LFI about a set of wheels. Very responsive and willing to share information.

Does anyone have any real world pics of the matte bronze wheels on a car? LFI sent me some photos of I want to see them on a car and in sunlight, like the pics earlier in this thread of the brushed bronze (which are a bit too bright for me).

Also has anyone else ordered LFI wheels here? No offense to LFI, but just looking for member feedback on those who have the wheels and used them for a while.

Thanks!

8262S, I was only in Singapore in May on business so I wish I had known about them then as I would of stopped in on them. I am also thinking of a bronze color, basically the same as BMW's 1000M wheel option.

I am going to want stock sizes, still want to use the BMW centre cap as well, and a design which is easy to clean without sharp corners where the brake dust settles.

I do not track so weight savings is not a grave concern, but quality is.

I am looking at the MF110 in matte bronze, 19 square, same fitment as the 829M’s, with a set of Vredestein Wintracs.

It would be a bonus if I could put BMW wheel caps in them.

Because these are winter wheels I do not need the max strength of the Competition Series (12,000 pound forging versus 10,000 pounds used on the other wheels). That references the pressure used to create the forged wheel blanks. LFI can correct me if my tech writing is making a mess of things.

Excellent, I have narrowed it to MF110, MF111, CSF2.

Which one is the MF111? I can't find that one. It appears that you and I are looking at similar styled wheels.

I am leaning toward the MF110 over the CSF2 because I prefer the smooth center "spokes" on the MF110's (the CSF2 has cut out line contours). Sorry, that was a horrible description.

I wish I could see a matte bronze wheel on a car. LFI sent me some pictures of a brushed bronze (bright) and matte bronze (almost brown-grey).

Very very close to the MF110. Just looks like less of a pronounced "ledge" at the start of the barrel?

What else am I missing?

Nothing much at all. Some of the designs are very close to each other. Maybe you can email them a side shot of your car, and they can photoshop the wheels/color on and send to you.

Yeah, but that is what makes it so hard is that we have to CHOOSE between these barely indistinguishable options.

I know makes it so so so difficult. Wish there was some software which made it easier.

These people appear to be good to deal with. Maybe they will not mind to do a few renders. Important to get this right.

When I order I will get them delivered with OEM TMPS sensors as well so they are essentially ready to fit.

You will purchase OEM TMPS and have them installed locally once you receive the wheels?

And what is the best deal on OEM TMPS?

Do they need to be synched to the car, or will the car automatically recognize them?

(Sorry for the thread hijack, but these are important issues because I understand they only sell the wheels and no other services like TMPS.)

Will buy OEM sensors and have them fitted with the tyres. My understanding is when the new wheels are put on the car you just need to reset the tyre pressure in the IDrive system and it should pick up the new sensors. Will ask BMW though to confirm.

Has anyone come across any pics of LFI wheels in wheels in matte bronze they could post or direct me to?

I am looking for some pictures of the wheels in daylight and on a car, like the pics posted earlier in this thread.

I would like to see the matte bronze (it does not matter what style of wheel) in a real life photo on a car, versus just a wheel under shop lighting.
