Nutek Forged Wheels Series 708 Concave on WIDEBODY BMW E46 M3 by Aerojacket

The 2001-2006 BMW E46 M3. When it comes to modified Bimmers, this chassis is one of the most popular choices. Powered by a 3.2L inline six which produces 330-340hp stock, this car offers loads of performance fun, both on the street and on the track. We've seen a few tuner shops crank out MAJOR power out of this motor, with some even reaching the 1000hp club! That covers the "GO" side of the equation. As for the "SHOW" side, there is a whole slew of upgrades available to change the appearance of this chassis, from Mild, to WILD. Whether you're a fan of the Tuner, Stance, Slammed, or Hellaflush circles, anything is possible 

We met with once individual who is taking his E46 M3 to the next level. Enter Rick, from Aero Jacket. We have a long history with Rick and most of us knew him from before getting involved with the automotive aftermarket industry. We've seen the progress of his BMW M3 from its inception as a factory stock car, to the eye-popping head-turning beast that it is today.

The Aero Jacket Widebody M3 is slammed with a clean stance. The car is comfortable enough for use as his daily driver, yet also meets his performance needs on the track. For rollers, Rick wanted something different from your usual setup on the BMW such as BBS LM's, Volk TE37's, Volk CE28's or the slew of other common 3-Piece wheels. He  always wanted a set of Nutek Forged Wheels, and knew exactly what style he was looking for. This Widebody M3 currently sits on Nutek Forged Wheels 708 Concave Series in a wide fitment of 19x9.5 Front and 19x11.5 Rear.  Usually when you go with a concave design, you sacrifice the depth of the lip.  He opted on having the concavity custom cut to a less aggressive profile so that he could have the best of both worlds: Concave Design and Deep Dish, together in one!  We had the chance to do a ride along on the Las Vegas Speedway with Rick and his Aero Jacket M3, and it was a blast.  We look forward to seeing (and feeling!) whatever Rick has in store next for this beautiful BMW.

"Did you know"

Forging is one of the OLDEST known manufacturing methods around. When it comes to wheels, a forged wheel originates as a solid piece of metal referred to as a "billet" or "pre-forged slug". The process of forging involves taking a pre-determined piece of solid raw aluminum "raw material" and placing it into a forging press. The press then redefines the actual "shape" of this solid piece of material by forcing it to fill the cavity of a set of dies under extreme high heat and intense pressure, (usually 8,500 tons as a minimum) which compresses the material to form the "pre forged slug" mentioned above. This process results in a raw forging that is significantly stronger than the material properties of raw the aluminum we started with, due to the addition of grain structure and density that was not inherent in the material in its native form.

Using this process, we can forge parts into a wide variety of different profiles. This begins the creation of an infinite number of wheel designs.

Ever seen an old Japanese Samurai movie where you see the blacksmith hammering on a piece of metal against an anvil, eventually producing the final form shaped as a sword or blade? Well, part of that process creates an end result that is similar to the forging process in that it enhances the material properties of the metal through compression (creating grain density) which in turn gives it greater strength. Grain density allows us to achieve greater strength (think load bearing capacity) and resiliency (think resistance to cornering fatigue) with less material, thus saving weight, which is a key element of why we make forged wheels instead of heavier cast wheels, that are simply not as strong when compared "pound for pound" to a forged wheel.

Latest design | Series 714 Concave

 Introducing the Nutek Forged Wheel Series 714. Just like the rest of our wheels, the wheel is made out of Aerospace-grade 6061 forged aluminum. Engineered to guarantee a perfect high strength-to-weight ratio. With the 7 spoke design, the 714 is a perfect match for style and comfort for anyone who is inquiring wheels in 19"-22" design.

Welcome our newest member of the Concave Series...

Introducing Series 755, 775, and 785... each design was developed to enhance the overall appearance of any vehicle while offering an aggressive new look. Nutek’s entire concave series offers extreme flexibility with a wide range of applications and finishes available. Customers can order the standard “reverse rim” profile or the ever more popular “stepped rim profile” that is a throwback to a past generation of wheels giving your car the “retro-performance” look that has recently come back into vogue. Concave Series available in 19" 20" 21" and 22" from 8.5" to 13" in width with custom finishes and colors.

The all new Series 700 Concave design is here.

Nutek proudly introduces our new line up of concave wheel designs. The 700 Series line of wheels are offered with hidden assembly hardware for the clean look and with exposed hardware for a high performance look. All of our wheels with hidden assembly hardware also feature steel inserts, creating a wheel that is as strong as our wheels that have “though bolt” assembly hardware. This is something no other 3 piece wheel manufacturer does. It’s just one more reason to consider Nutek 3 piece forged wheels.

Shown are the Series 705,708, and 710. We're offering these design with assembly bolts for luxury looks or with all hidden hardware for performance feels. Sizes from 19", 20", and 22" with up to 13" in width depending on vehicle applications. Custom finishes and colors are available including our Signature Ceramic finish.
