Sportline 8S Wheels?

dcarp757 · 02-22-2016, 07:08 PM

What do you guys think about the Sportline 8S wheels? They are rotary forged and very lightweight. Less than 22 lbs for 19"! Does anyone have these wheels? I'm thinking about 19" in Gunmetal on GSM '14 F30.

That's not a terrible price for "rotary forged" which is actually a fancy way of saying flow form casting

Thanks for your input. I guess I find the design a bit boring. How concerned should I be about lightweight wheels? I don't track my car at all and just about anything will be lighter than my OEM with RFT.

any other opinions on these? I was looking for a CSL style flow formed wheel and this seems to be about the only one I can find at a good price.

I like how they look from straight on but from the sides the spokes kind of curve out and IMO looks a bit off.

I know this thread is a couple years old but it was great help in my search for my new wheels and tires package. My first ever after market set.

I just placed an order for a set of Sportline 8s and I can’t wait to see them in person!

Wheels: F19x8.5 et35 R19x9.5 et45
Tires: Conti’s F235/40R19 R265/35R19

Will share pictures once I receive them and once I install them on my F32.
