FM23 Version: 1.545.529.0 (Update 5.0)
There are many inconsistencies in FM23 when it comes to painting rims, mostly in the “material” appearance. I’ve thrown together a table that contains all of the rims in Forza Motorsport (2023) as of update 4.0 (now 5.0), and the results of some of the “tests” that I’ve ran. Be sure to read what the tests + results mean before reading the table, otherwise it might just be a mess of letters.
Update 5.0: Some good news!
Although there was no specific mention of any fixes to the rims in the release notes for Update 5.0, there was some significant improvements in certain aspects of the “paintability” of rims.
- The color bleed issue present on many rims has largely been fixed (75 failing rims in update 4.0 versus 6 failing rims in update 5.0)
- There are many more rims passing the chrome test (148 rims failing or questionable in update 4.0 versus 33 rims failing or questionable in update 5.0)
Unfortunately there seems to be no improvements to rims failing the Matte Test. I’ve tested the rims up to BBS and found that the rims that have failed before seem to fail the same way now, so I’m making the assumption that the rest of the rims that have failed the Matte Test haven’t changed in that aspect (I will eventually test the rest of the rims, I just haven’t got around to the rest due to time constraints).
Despite that, I greatly appreciate the progress that has been made so far! Pat yourselves on the back and keep up the good work.
This list pertains to aftermarket rims only. This list does not include paint bugs for stock rims, or rims in motion.
Matte Material Test
The rims are painted in a matte finish. Hue is set to 0.00, Saturation is set to 0.00, and Brightness is set to 0.50. The result should be a dull gray.
- If the whole rim indeed appears to be a matte gray finish, then it is marked as “P” for PASS.
- If any part of the rim appears to have a finish other than matte, then it is marked “F” for FAIL.
- If it’s hard to tell for sure, it is marked “Q” for Questionable. It also has a corresponding entry in MMT Fail Conditions.
MMT Fail Conditions
Rims that fail the Matte Material Test can usually be grouped in one of three ways. Note that rims that passed will NOT have a letter under MMT Fail Conditions.
- Metallic (M) - At least part of the rim appears to have a metallic finish, to a varying degree
- Glossy (G) - At least part of the rim appears to be glossy
- Semigloss (S) - At least part of the rim appears to have a semigloss finish, to a varying degree
The rim on the left is an example of a rim that passes the Matte test, while the one on the right is an example of one that doesn’t. The rim on the right displays the metallic (M) failure condition only on part of the rim.
Chrome Test
The rims are painted with a Chrome finish (Specifically chrome, I didn’t test polished aluminum).
- If the whole rim appears to be finished in chrome, then it is marked as “P” for PASS.
- If any part of the rim appears to have a non-chrome finish, then it is marked as “F” for FAIL.
- If it’s hard to tell for sure, it is marked “Q” for Questionable. It also has a corresponding entry in MMT Fail Conditions.
CT Fail Condition
Rims that fail the Chrome Test can be grouped in one of two ways.
- White (W) - At least part of the rim appears to be solid white
- Gray (G) - At least part of the rim appears to be gray, or a finish other than a pure chrome
The rim on the left is an example of a rim that passes the Chrome test, while the one on the right is an example of one that doesn’t. The right rim displays both failure conditions, “W” and “G” (This particular example of a failing chrome test has been fixed).
Color Bleed Test
The rims are painted in brushed steel.
- If the whole rim appears to have the “general appearance” of brushed steel, there is no entry and a space is left blank.
- If there is any color that “bleeds” through, then it is marked “F” for FAIL.
The rim on the left displays no signs of color bleed. The rim on the right displays color bleed on the lip, resulting in an “F” on the chart (This particular example of color bleed has been fixed).
*Note on Pass conditions
Just because a rim might pass a test, it doesn’t mean there’s nothing wrong with it! For most of these rims I’ve taken maybe a 5 second glance at a time for most of them, so I encourage you all to do a little bit of testing yourselves. If there are other bugged paint options for rims, please describe it in the comments. And again, don’t forget to vote if you have encountered this issue.
