Re: new 3 piece forged wheel on the market.. linc
Where exactly do you get the "fraction of the cost" from? I looked on the website under the forged wheels section (assuming they are the cheapest they offer) and they are $700 bucks per right? So your still gonna pay $3000 for wheels and say at least $800 for tires... right? Maybe ya'll know something I don't!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> C'mon and let me play too!! Sorry for the edit...I read again and I saw where you said a "GP somewhere" sorry, dude!!

Are your wheels 18's? If so 18 X ? and do they rub anywhere. Thinking of going with those iforged in 18's my car has the eibach pro kit on it and I don't want to rub anywhere.
Thanks Rob

Which model iForged are you looking at? You sure cant beat the price on that GP and the wheels seem to VERY lite.. good luck..

Just on other question what size tires are you running front and back.
