The BimmerWorld View: we're extremely proud to release these fully featured flow-form wheels for street and race and everything in between. Stronger than what's currently on the market but at fighting weight to compete with the best out there. And with massive caliper clearance that doesn't need spacers.

The TA5R uses the latest flow-form manufacturing process to produce a light weight, strong, BMW track wheel with huge caliper clearance for street, track, autocross, and racing use. The TA5R borrows many design elements from our forged TA16 wheel but in a more economical price range. Compared to other flow-formed wheels on the market the BimmerWorld TA5R is a similar weight but stronger, with better caliper clearance, and at a similar price point.

18x8.5" ET38 18.73 lbs
18x9.0" ET31-42 19.42 lbs
18x9.5" ET22-35 19.97 lbs
18x10.0" ET25-33 20.09 lbs
18x10.5" ET24-36 20.55 lbs
18x11.0" ET25-44 20.98 lbs
Extensive work was done to produce a stronger wheel that was the same or only slightly more weight than the next competitor. TA5R uses the latest industry technology known as flow-forging or flow-forming. The process is similar to casting but with a tighter grain structure that makes the wheel stronger, similar to a true forged wheel. The superior process far surpasses older designs that use a straight casting process. Our TA5R 18" wheels have a load rating of 720kg (1,587lbs), which is higher than other lightweight track wheels. Flow-forming and precise machining also produce a lighter wheel - our 18" sizes come in under 19lbs up to just under 21lbs (see chart to right). The TA5R has been crush and impact tested and exceeds SAE, JWL, and VIA standards.

The wide-V-spoke design stretches all the way to the outer lip, a key component to the TA5R's strength. They also allow tremendous caliper clearance behind the spokes. 18" sizes clear all stock E36, E46, E9X, F3X, and F8X stock iron brakes plus 323-355mm BBK kits from Brembo, StopTech, PFC, and Wilwood. It also clears StopTech 380/ST60 (but not Brembo 380/6-piston).

Thanks to its lightweight barrel and robust face design, the TA5R stands up well against the rigors of endurance racing, as well as your average street potholes. The 18" TA5R features a load rating of 1,587lbs.

Fitment Note: we do our best to display wheels that fit your BMW model, based on your model selection. Wheels with aggressive fitments or tight clearances may also be listed. Many variables must be considered for wheel fitment, especially when using larger wheels or different offsets. These variables include: suspension type and settings, ride height, tire size, bodywork changes, and alignment settings. In some cases, additional parts or modifications may be necessary for fitment that may not be listed in our catalog. Final wheel fitment and clearance is the responsibility of the customer, however, we welcome your questions on fitment, size, offset, or other wheel-related inquiries. Wheel returns are limited to quality issues only. These wheels are compatible with 10mm spacers, however, 12mm is a better choice due to known design limitations of 10mm spacers.
