Nutek Bavaria BM7M Concave Forged Wheels

A few months ago I created a thread titled IS-F + Vossen =CV5, which showcased the newest Vossen design. I was satisfied with how it transformed the F's look, however, I really felt the impact on performance. So, I made the executive decision of transitioning to custom lighter forged wheels and here is the result.
These are forged Nutek Bavaria BM7M with the following specs:

20 x 9 +45 front
20 x 11 +55 rear

I wanted to upgrade to Michelin Pilot Sports but I stopped myself and just stayed with Hankook Evos. I had to change the rear tire size from 275/30/20 to 295/25/20. Fronts are 245/30/20s.
I am TOTALLY and ABSOLUTELY satisfied with my decision to go forged again. Not only are these wheels better looking, they have somewhat returned the "sprightliness" of the F.
Please excuse the night pics as it took 2 hours to mount these wheels.

Enjoy!!

I had to roll my fenders with the vossens. But these are custom, so you can specify any fender requirements. PM sent on the price
Thanks for the comment.

Looking good. A reduction in unsprung weight while achieving the look you where going for is a sure win.

Looks f'ing beautiful on an F! My only "meh" moment is the color match between the wheel and the SFP. I'd like to see those on our other colors and see how those turn out. Just my opinion though, so don't let me rain on your parade b/c those are beautiful wheels!
