Anyone heard any news on these wheels being available to the public?

 

Not sure.

Doesn't show it.

 

They are an exclusive design from what I have read. Wasn't sure if they could be purchased yet on their own though.

 

Well they are nice but I doubt they will be for sale.
If you do find they are for sale then let us know for sure.

I think they look more like BBS than Borbet.

They'd be also good in 18x7".

 

Does anybody know where to get that wing from????

 

The dealership had a few cars with these wheels on them last week. Still don't know what they are called though.

 

The wheels are the same as the stock wheels on the Factory (Stage 2) JCW cars. They are called R112 Crossspoke Challenge wheels. They are also available as an aftersales/accessory item.

The wing is not officially available unless you have purchased a challenge race car. A replica wing is being offered thru Alta I believe - who may or may not be distributing a Korean product offering from Dir Hong (?).

Might want to check for the latest news in the R56 Interior/Exterior forum...

 

The wing will be available from M7 shortly. The challenge wing or any other parts of that specific car other than the rims are not available anywhere. Tried for a year now including calling the factory in Germany and all my contacts in the UK. They have that sealed up tighter than a tick's butt !

 

I want a front lip like that one. Hubba.

Edit: Sorry that was totally off topic. I have to say, those could be in my top ten list of all time favorite wheels.

 

Good luck, tried on that also and no luck. I and many others want that integrated air splitter but they will not sell to anyone unless they are a registered challenge car/race team owner .....

 

I commend you for trying! I guess I'll just have to have one made. Haha.

 

If you have one made to challenge specs, keep me in mind, I want one also

 

I've actually been talking to someone about it. It may be just a pipedream right now but I'd love to. And to be honest, without one from a Challenge car it'd be impossible to make it to that spec. But we could get lips from the standard bumper and the JCW bumper and have them made off of that.

Consider this vapor ware for now. Just a passing fancy. Maybe. =)
