Default Who's running Forged/high end wheels that aren't Fikse, CCW?

Ever Since I got my Fab 9 last year I knew I'd have fun finding wheels that would fit the new rear Backspacing. Especially when I want to run 19's, maybe 18's. Pretty much only 3-pc forged wheels. Everyone here runs CCW/Fikse- and they are awesome wheels- but I am curious to see what else the congregation likes.

I have looked at ISS forged, 360* Forged, and a few others...But lets see what you got....

True forged has some nice ones but only seeing them on Cobras I couldn't pull the trigger. I guess I don't have a good enough imagination..

69TA - I had remembered Kenisis from your blue wheels. sweets wheels.

I was pretty disappointed at True Forged site- but sent them a price request for a set of their 'Formula' wheels in 19" sizings.


I will say this- with the prices that Fikse wheel that Danny has quoted me- they are a bargain compared to some of these other forged wheel companies.

I was looking at HREs wheels before getting one of the two you mentioned. I like the hidden hardware on the three piece wheel.

Very nice.^^

those 18's look large, Tatertot. I think HRE's are out of the budget range.

Mac- Budget is as cheap as I can find that looks killer. but honestly would like to be around 3500. I am selling my bike(hoping for 4500)- So I am researching right now. I wanted CCW's til I found out that their wheels don't come in the backspacing I need(except the LM series, and they only go to 18's, I do like the FM5's). The reason for 19's is that the tires are actually the same cost or a lil cheaper. And 19's look amazing IMO.

I don't think the Iforged's on the Black TA are narrowed rear ones.
The lips would be a lot deeper.

IMO anyone planning on running a staggered set up should go with a narrowed.

Besides have a nice deeper lip in the back.

You will save weight and the axles will be stronger.

yeah the prices of fikse have came down alot, and they are hard to beat, you know i dont really know what style your looking for, and i know this is way less of a wheel then what has been said,but the weld rts are a killing looking wheel. i looked at a set a guy had on his black ss ,they were 17x9,17x11 rears , and i will say after seeing them in person i put them in the higher rim class, was just a killer looking rim, and i think fit these cars perfect,looked like they cost big bucks,and have a real race look to them, just an idea man, they have alot of sizes as well, i wish i would have took some pics,his rear was narrowed

I was asking if he has a narrowed rear... I know CCW does classics and LM series and Iforged can do them as well along with the likes of Fikse. HREs are damn expensive and so are 360 forged. I have no idea if True Forged does narrowed rears..

Not a 3 piece, but Forgestar has some nice light wheels that look good. Not sure what style you are going for?

F14's are on my car.
