Default Custom forged wheels?
Been looking for some custom built wheels for my build in the 18" range had Rushforth wheels in my sights but wanted to see what else is out there and I'm not trying to go past 3k I seen some ridiculously high priced wheels!

I love CCW wheels. I had a set of the 505a's. Check out their website. Lots of very nice choices on there.

Forgestar makes some great wheels. Mine are 18x9.5 all the way around. I spent $2800 for wheels, tires and lug nuts delivered...

I have seen both CCW and Forgestar wheels both nice but not what i want. I do like the classics but way to many people have them.

Have you checked out TrueForged? Big with the blue oval boys, but some great looking wheels and can be custom built to what you want.

I've owned both CCW and Fikse. Both are very nice wheels, but I'd take CCW over Fikse.
