They look pretty sweet. No details that I can find yet.

 

They're in stock according to nm-eng's website...

 

I'll post pics and give my impression when I mount mine early this week!

 

NICE

Ya, can't wait! I've been looking to add some aftermarket wheels for nearly a year now and I finally boiled it down to a couple different wheels. I really wanted something simple, clean and modern looking. I also wanted a wheel that you don't see everyday. Then I happened to check NM's site as I knew they made the 7 spoke 18" RSe08's and was hoping they might have something new in 17". Low and behold the RSE05. I talked with one of the Tech's at NM and asked him to keep me posted. He got back to me before they were up on the website. Great customer service from those guys. I can't say enough good things about them.

I'll be mounting them on a new set of Michelin Pilot super sports.

 

That's going to look great, can't wait to see them. I'll be going with the same tire NM seems to be run really well, I've been really impressed with all their products.

Yes the NM wheel are great, and designed to give the most clearence possible for big brake kits

Can't wait to see these mounted. I really like how they look.

I was unable to find what process they use to make the wheels on their site. Does anyone know? I'm guessing a form of cast due to the price of them, but it would be nice to know exactly.

 

They do look nice, anyone want to PS a set in gold on an '03 BRG for me? haha

 

I have a set of black ones being shipped from NM this afternoon. UPS notification says delivery date is Friday. Already have my MINI center caps and the TPM sensors will be here Friday. They will be shod with BFGoodrich g-Force Comp2 215/45-17 tires at the local Discount Tire store. Once they are mounted, Jerry at NM is expecting pics.

 

Can't wait to see the pictures as I am interested in the black ones and would love to see how the finish and color looks of them in an actual picture.

 

Yeah! Post pics ASAP

Quick shot tonight sitting next to my current OEM setup. I'll have the real deal pics up by wednesday.

 

Ok...really loving those I think you just started something


-Steven

 

Mounted today. Sorry for the picture quality but I didn't get a chance to take any till late.





Love the wheels. Compared to the OEM challenge spokes they're light as a feather. I do miss the gloss black of the challenge spokes at least on my particular car. Since it's so blacked out as is I think it adds a bit of contrast but that's minor and I could fix that if I wanted. The NM wheels aren't truly "flat" black but more of an eggshell finish if that makes sense.

 

That looks great How is the fitment of the 215/45/17? When you have a chance, can you get a pic to show how flush you are sitting? Thanks!!! Nice garage by the way


-Steven

 

Turned out GREAT.

If you email me those pics we'll use them on our website to show the wheels installed.

 

They look awesome!

 

Pics on the way....uh, Way

Thanks for the compliments guys. Bluetoy, Fitment is great. No rubbing at all on the lowered Coupe. I'll take some pics for you tomorrow for sure. The offset is pretty aggressive and VERY close to the OEM challenge wheels. 45 for the NM wheels and I believe 48 for the challenge spokes. With these tires the fit is nearly flush with MAYBE a .25" gap from sidewall to fender edge. They look great on the car and this wheel/tire combo fills up the wheel well just right in my opinion. It looks even better in person.

Take care!

 

A couple cell phone pics from today!

 

Is it me or do they have a little concavity?

 

Yes they're a bit concave but actually not quite as much as the pictures make it seem.

 

Okay guys, Tackleberry has new rollers.

NM Engineering RSe05 17x7.5 wheels w/ BFG g-Force Comp2 215/45-17 rubber.













I really like these new tires. The KUMHO ECSTA AST 215/35-18 tires were really good handling tires, but a little on the stiff side because of the sidewal height. These new BFGs with the 45 sidewall are more comfortable. I cannot wait to see how they handle on the twisties.

 

MinMin-

Wow, NICE!!! That looks great....really loving the look If you get a chance, could you shap a pic down the side to show me fitment/flush? Thanks!

There ya go. Sorry Bluetoy. I forgot about your request. I took a bunch the other night. A million different angles. Let me know and I'll pm some your way.
