Default iForged/HRE

I really like the iForged rims on SSLS1's car. I noticed someone else had some HRE's that looked pretty close. Where can I buy these from?

iForged wheels, are far less expensive than HREs. HREs are basically considered to be the best wheel out there. You can buy iForged wheels directly from their site, I've heard there have been problems with the build quality of these wheels however. There are a few on this website alone that have had major problems with the wheels.

HREs however, are built precisely and specifically for your car. You wont have any problem with their quality, but you'll definately pay the price. Your looking at close to 4k for some of those wheel sets. Good luck, I'm not sure who is the best dealer for those wheels. Hopefully someone more "in the know" will have an answer for that one.

After finally seeing a set of Iforged rims on a vette, I would defenitly go with the HREs if you have the cash. If you really want to spend some coin - check out the 800 series rims, my personal favorites are the 847s, but those are REALLY REALLY expensive - 6K+ for 18s.

I've got about 2500$ to spend on the rims and tires. Sounds like HRE's are out.

I'm taking the 'less expensive' route on my 94Z.

I've got a set of Intro GT Sports on order. 17x8 for the front, 17x10 for the rear (they don't offer 17 x 9). They are what Tony has on his '69 (see http://www.extremeg.net ). The price? $1550 shipped (on a "group purchase"). 18's were about $2k (a little more than I wanted to spend). So by the time I get tires, I'll come in at about $2300 total.

Intro's web site is at http://www.introwheels.com

These are 2-piece, not 3-piece, but they look very similar to the HRE's and iForgeds.

I had planned on spending 2500$, but I could go up to 3000$. I love those rims on that Vette, but I don't want 19's. What is the differance between 2 and 3 piece?

What is the differance between the Areo's and the Intro GT Sports? They look the same to me...

Tony's thread on the Intros is here:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/76853-new-wheels-tires-installed-69-ss.html

If you went wheels & tires in 18's, you'd be right at $3k. (assuming GP pricing, which I don't know if they're still offering - GP expired just before Christmas).

And Al, yeah, time to retire the old Speedlines and put some shiny rims on my baby. Black car plus shiny wheels =

you wont find iforged or hre wheels & tires for under 3k. You'll need to look at www.bcforged.com for that style wheel at the price you are looking for

If you can spend around 3K you may be interested in FIKSE wheels. They are also top notch in quality.

Thanks everyone. I really like the Intro GT Sports. I emailed them and they gave me a toll free number that I'm going to call next week.

Where could I look at some FISKE wheels?

Todd, could you give me a quote on the BC's that look like GT Sports?

I just received my BC09's from Todd. 18x9/18x10, I paid MUCH less than that WITH tires.

I'm interested in 17" and 18". If I got 17"s I would want to run 315's. If I got 18"s I would want to run 295's. Do they come wide enough in both 17" and 18"? I also want to run smaller tires in the front.

I had ordered some 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 Z06's and found out that they were on backorder. I was going to run 275/40's and 295/35's. I'm not sure what I want now, but I really like the GT Sport/Areo look.
