 Found this wheel maker over at a vette site, I dont know how new the company is but the wheels seem to be about the quality of Fikse or HRE but are a fraction of the cost.. they are three piece forged custom ordered wheels..

Here is the site:

this link may be better:

I already have wheels but these seem VERY nice for the $$.. they DONT make 17" wheels but I saw a GP somewhere that a set of 18's were going for $2500ish.. thats pretty darn good if you ask me..

Nice to have options.. <hr /></blockquote>Where <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> was <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> this <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> six <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> months <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> ago <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> ?!? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

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!!

Oh, I agree that the Simmons wheels are very very nice!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

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

Thanks Rob <hr /></blockquote>I have 18x9 and 18x10.. BUT you could go 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 and not have problems (those are the size I ran with my Z06 wheels).. You might have a tiny bit of rubbing on the inner rear fenderwell but a small hammer and some undercoating and you will be set. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

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..

Gonna have to try and sell my Z06's first, I just hate the thought of buying 4 more tires also. Plus I already have a set of Bogarts drag wheels. Guess I'm having problems justifying 3 sets of wheels. LOL

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

Thanks Rob
