^ The new Breyton Race GTS. Available in bright polished, matte grey, and gloss black of various width 19 & 20" varieties using BMW 5x120 lug pattern and offsets.

With the stratigic use of various width RH Multifit lug adapters, hubcenteric rings, BMW hardware, a fender roller, and the H&R Cup Kit... this COULD be the meanest wheel ever installed on a crossfire.

Wish me luck.

 

that's nice!

Great wheels...the first "euro-look" install I've seen on the crossfire. I wonder what real BBS wheels would look like on the car...

 

Nice. The rears look especially sweet.

 

Nicely done!

Just sourced the 5x112 to 5x120 adapters in varying thicknesses. With the change in offsets it should move the face of the rear wheels out 1.5" (Decent) and the face of the front wheels out 1.7" (THAT might be tricky). I'll have to be generous with the fender roller. Probably going to have to flare a good protion of that that flat metal around the wheel wells.

Bad news, it will likely fling dirt.
Good news, it will look like it eats babies.

Now I need to find an anodized black lug nut in 12x1.5mm with a conical seat that matches a stock BMW lug bolt... VividRacing.

 

Subscribing, simply because that is the BADDEST looking wheel combo I've seen yet on the X-fire

 

Very nice looking wheels, where did you get them?

 

For those who haven't figure it out yet... it's a photoshop.

They will be available from tire rack later this month. Although you'll have to work a bit of magic to order them for anything other than a BMW application.

It'll run you a little over $2,000 for a wheel and tire combo... the funny part is the tires are cheaper in 19 and 20" sizes than they are for a stock Crossfire. It's the adapters, harware, and need for a custom hubcentric solution that will run the cost up another $600 easy.

So far I've put this together...

Front-
Breyton Race GTS 19x8.5 et30 (QTY 2)
245/35ZR19 (2)
1" 5x112 to 5x120 adapter w/ 83mm hub bore & M12x1.5 lug bolts (2)
Custom Benz 66.56 to BMW 72.56 hubcenteric adapter (83mm OD, 1" height to fit spacer) (2)

Rear-
Breyton Race GTS 20x10 et35 (QTY 2)
275/30ZR20 (2)
1.5" 5x112 to 5x120 adapter w/ 83mm hub bore & M12x1.5 lug bolts (2)
Custom Benz 66.56 to BMW 72.56 hubcenteric adapter (83mm OD, 1.5" height to fit spacer) (2)

Hardware & Other-
Turner TMS open 60degree tapered seat lug nuts M12x1.5 (1 Kit)
A good bodyshop or a rented fender roller and a heat gun to flare the fenders.
Some sort of lowering kit. These would look rediculous on a stock height car.



And I'm going with the gloss black.

 

Here is a taste of the Matte Grey for you guys...

Perhaps having the rotors re-drilled or new rotors with the correct bolt pattern machined would be a safer alternative. Possibly cheaper too (re-drill)?

 

^ That presents a bit of a problem when it comes to replacements and i'm not sure if moving the bolts another 8mm off center would contact any of the brake hardware in the rear hub.

Then there is the rear wheel spacing problem. The extreme difference in offset would put the inside of the rim 1.5 inches closer to the strut. Making a spacer neccessary anyway.

But it's certainly worth a look as it could be quite a bit cheaper.

EDIT: Actually, as silly as it sounds. Re-drilling the front and adapting the rear is the best for fitment. Although I imagine it would be a bit akward to have different hardware at both ends.

 

Updates on this, Opti?

 

Where was that pic taken? Its looks extremely familiar.
