The 17x9.0" ET42 is the most wheel you can fit under the body with minimal fitment issues. Using the same size at all four corners reduces understeer and lets you rotate the tires around for better longevity. Since understeer is built-in thanks to a narrower front tire, adding more rubber in the front is the simplest and most straight-foward way to reduce it. Our TE:AL (Technical Alloy) alloy wheel is constructed as a true forged piece, not "semi-forged" or "flow-forged". A fully forged wheel is stronger and lighter than cast wheels (a semi-forged wheel is still cast). The BimmerWorld racing team has been using forged wheels in multiple types of racing and we're convinced that forged wheels have greater all-around benefits than cast wheels. Because these are our own proprietary wheel, we're able to offer them at roughly half the cost of other forged race wheels in the BMW market!
The BimmerWorld TA16 wheel is 17x9.0" with a ET42 offset and weighs less than 19lbs. The 9.0" wheel accepts a 245-265 track tire. See specific fitment information below. The 16 spokes and barrel design leave generous room for big brakes - up to 380mm. BimmerWorld wheels utilize the most advanced wheel design and manufacturing techniques available in the world to make the strongest, lightest wheel possible. Through careful design using CAD and FEA we were able to trim material to make a lighter wheel without sacrificing strength. We also incorporated several unique features normally found on high-end race wheels - knurled bead seat to minimize the wheel spinning inside the tire and a reverse-mount feature that makes it easier for race tires to be mounted from the backside of the wheel.
Key Features:
E36 Fitment Note: this is a very aggressive fitment for E36. Rubbing on bodywork is likely and trimming of plastic fender liners or rolling fenders may be required.
E46 Fitment Note: this is an aggressive fitment for E46. Rubbing on bodywork may occur depending on tire choice. Trimming of plastic fender liners or rolling fenders may be required.
F30/F32 Fitment Note: a small wheel spacer may be required on the front depending on suspension and tire choice.
General Fitment Notes: these are sold as a race-fitment only and rubbing with bodywork or on suspension may occur depending on tire choice and suspension settings. We cannot verify fitment with every combination of wheel-tire-suspension. Verification of wheel fitment is the responsibility of the customer. These wheels, like many wheels, are not compatible with 10mm wheel spacers. We recommend using 12mm spacers, as 10mm hubcentric spacers have inherent design limitations that prevent them from sitting flush. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or concerns. Returns are limited to quality issues only.
