Anybody got 2 M-System's they want to part with?

[camaroguy]

I bought a set of this a few months back, and was just recently looking at them closer. I realized this is what I have:

2 8x17 et 20 forged wheels
1 8x17 et 20 cast wheel
1 8x17 et 10 forged wheel (8 series)

Idealy I guess I am looking for two more 8x17 et 20 wheels, though 9x17 et 22's would be doable also.

I can still get them from the stealer it turns out, but that seems like a last resort option :)

Thanks

how to tell the difference between forged and cast wheel? One of my M systems is a little different from others and maybe thats the reason for the difference

[camaroguy]

The easiest way to tell is probably the part number. Its printed around the center of the wheel.

2 226 706 = 17x8 ET20 Forged
2 226 401 = 17x8 ET20 Cast

Never new the t-stars came cast or forged, just though forged only

[camaroguy]

I think technically that may be correct, but as the set I have is mixed and matched, someone may have got an older wheel for one of them. The turbine m-systems came in both I think.

which is more desirable cast or forged :)

The forged ones are supposed to be stronger and a tiny bit lighter due to being forged from a single piece of aluminum.

Theyre not forged from a single piece of aluminum - that's called "billet". Forging is a process of ...
