New wheel option inspired by the 513m

I searched high and low for reps of the 513m for another project car and could not find anything fully forged, so I decided to have my own made. Exact copy, no. Fully forged, custom width, offset, concavity, bolt pattern, etc. 100%.

I can't wait to get these in hand. I figured that those of you looking for a strong and light wheel set-up, that won't break the budget might be interested.

I won't post website links here, but Andrew at ORT Motorsports made it all come together.

Here is a video of my prototype in production. Super excited, I just wish the car they were going on allowed for a deeper, more concave profile.

Now I quickly have to decide on finish...lol

"Like." What diameter, width and offset did you go with?

So...the video is a little deceiving. I have owned 3 sets of 513m in the past and just really love the design. My set in the video, is not as concave as I generally run on BMWs, as it's going on one of our beater VWs. That specific wheel in the video is a 18"x8.5"ET40 wheel.

That said for a G80 a 19 or 20" in 9.5" ET4 for front and 10.5" ET9 would probably work

G82 9.5"ET8 Front and 10.5"ET6 rear

Could also do anything in between and split the difference between the two, like 10" ET12 and 11" ET14

The big deal is that the 513 was never made in 5x112, so here I am making it happen with my dumb little VW and sharing with hopes that other may like the design.

Other designs Andrew is toying with are sampled below, he a good dude. Reach out if interested, easy to find his contact at ORT Motorsports:

These are going to look great in a wider wheel with lower offset imo

Sorry for the delayed reply. Andrew at ORT is still just doing these on a custom request basis. Size, offsets, finish etc. That said last I checked I think a set of 20" were $2,500 delivered. Going to be a few more weeks before he gets configurator built.

Maybe drop him an email at info@ortmotorsport.com
