Those wheels are the CSF1 V2, correct?

I am being drawn away from the MF110 to something with a little more contour too them.

Is the finish uniform or kind of a satin brushed finish?

Can’t tell if it is paint or anodized or some other finish.

So they do have a brushed or unique appearance right?

Decisions and Advice

I have a G82 x-drive in Verde Ermes and for the first time are looking at purchasing after market rims. The sizes would be stock BMW being 19s and 20s.

As it is the first time I'm doing loads of research and have narrowed the look down to the MF111 or CSF2.

Color - Well I love either Matt Bronze, Brushed Bronze, or possibly Platinum Black. I really like the color of the wheels in the photos of the Verde Ermes Lambo I uploaded, I think they look Matt or possibly Satin.

Question - if I go with a Matt or Satin Bronze finish, can you ceramic coat them? I always ceramic coat my wheels as to really helps cleaning.

Another question re the difference in the MF111 or CSF2. Notice the MF111 has 890kg load rating, and the CSF2 has 690kg load rating. Both appear to be Forged 6061 T6 aluminum, but the MF111 is 10000-ton and the CSF2 is 12000-ton Forged. I am not technical but does it matter? I do not track my car.

I will eventually install a HAS kit but are waiting for the OEM M performance kit which is apparently due late 2022 or 2023.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback as this is the first time I have made a purchase of this type and don't want to get it wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I am interested in the answers too, as I would like that color wheel as on the Lambo too.

And that is a gorgeous G82. Wow!

Hopefully the guys at LFI can provide some guidance on the wheel color. Thanks for the kinds words on the G82.

LFI sent me two pictures of wheels showing matte bronze versus brushed bronze, but they were indoor pictures and I was unsure of the lighting conditions.

I would prefer to see them in daylight conditions on a car.

I will send them another message and see if they have what we are looking for.

My preference is the matte bronze, but I would like to see more pictures before I pull the trigger.

Here is a video of a car where the sales lady talks about the wheel being bronze in her words. Start at 1min 38sec into the video.

A few more photos as well. The color would be perfect. Think it looks like a Satin.

I have an order pending with them. Waiting on the rendering to sign off on. They have been polite, quick replies and very accommodating. However, the rendering was supposed to be to me last week so I’m more than a little worried at this point. Hope it’s not too good to be true

CSF1 V2 in gloss black. I like the bronze but I would rather have something more understated

Nice design. I am sure it will be okay. Look forward to seeing the photos.

Who are you feeling with there and are you dealing via email or WhatsApp ?

I have also been in touch with Kevin, although by email. I did not have WhatsApp at the time. Let us know how you go.

So far, not so well.
The good: quick to respond via WhatsApp when trying to purchase.
Unreal pricing
Very accommodating to custom options
The bad: after paying 50%, I’ve been waiting on a rendering that I keep being told will be done “today” but still hasn’t arrived.
Responses are getting more and more delayed. You can see when they are online in the app so you know they saw the message
I’m worried now that it might be too good to be true. I will keep you guys posted. Maybe the guy who actually got the wheels can chime in on the timeline for his build with the company

for me everything was good, but the model and specification I chose already existed, kevin said 6 to 8 weeks for construction and delivery and it took 7 weeks. I knew nobody who had done business with them,no feedback at all, I took a chance and I went through the same feeling as you, i know exactly what you think in your head, but dont worried you will receive your wheels, I know that the design is long to do and maybe they have a lot of demand, do not forget that we are in middle of summer, vacancies, covid ... ! if he answer you each time , it s a good sign!
