I am waiting for the official numbers but their other 21" V-FF 103's run 24-25lbs so my guess is that they are similar.

That is correct, they offer both series wheels but these V-FF 103's specifically are Flow Forged.

Agreed. Ted7 is the man!

i just got my custom BC Forged wheels in. Haven’t installed yet but I had a shop measure everything to double check on carbon ceramic caliper clearance so I should be good.

I’ll post pics when they’re on the car. I’m gonna get them ceramic coated this week and hopefully have the wheels/tires/springs installed next week.

contact BC Forged for pricing.

The wheels look stunning but the weight savings could be better

Are those Michelin's Pilot Sport's a special version? They look different than mine.

Thanks! And yes I think they are priced competitively as well!

Thanks! And yes these will be my daily driver street wheels. I'll soon have a set of 18" wheels to throw on for track days

I was wondering the same thing since my 20" Michelin Pilot Sport 4S set looks slightly different as well...it has less of that "suede center line" for lack of a better word.

+1. A great deal if your primary objective is a better looking wheel. I’m looking for a deal on wheels under 20 lbs. each.

No offense, but spamming another person's thread won't help your "wait period". You should probably post them in the "For Sale" section once you've become an active member..

no offense taken. Wasn’t trying to spam. Previous post mentioned they were looking. I’m not allowed to post in for sale yet so just thought I’d mention it. I understand now how it looks bad however and I’ll b more mindful next time.

Anyone with Carbon Ceramics in the OC area want to stop by to test out the fitment?

All positives but they do not make them in 20's at this time. Just 21's.

I’ve broken 20s on the roads around here. I’d hate to see how fast a 21” inch wheel would disintegrate.
