Thumbs up OK, I think i have decided on a wheel !

for my 1995 Z28
19X9.5 front and 19x10 rear IForged "Trials"
with the same color center as these trials.......think they would look sic on a black 95 Z28 ?
they will have a 3 inch lip on the fronts and a 4 inch lip on the rears.... and still sit under the car where they are suppose to.

Or, you could save $1,500 and get these ROH DRIFT-R's which look nearly identical:

they look identical to the drift-r's. If i went with Iforge i would get something that looks like no other wheel on the market. Sick wheels though

They might look similar, but I guarantee you that the build quality and weight are both different.

No doubt. Either way the IForge wheel is kick ***, I am sure the quality is far superior also.

Those are nice wheels, similar in spoke design to my Boyd Osiris wheels. Get them in gloss black though, I think the gloss finish matches black cars better.

I just received my iForged "classics" split 5-spokes for the '69 today. Too bad I'm offshore and I can't see them

They look alot like ROH Modena 3 piece wheels. But the ROH modena's are not cheap.

sweet, i like the satin look, gloss black is the new chrome it seems like; and the satin would really set em apart compared to others

yeah, but the drifts don't have the exposed bolts and won't have anywhere near the 3 inch lip in the fronts and 4 inch lips in the rear.
i think the bolts give the wheels 10x more character.
plus the IForged will be extremely light.

alot more expensive, yes....but like they always say "gotta pay to play" lol !

Dont get me wrong, Id take the Iforged any day of the week over the DriftR's if I had the cash. Instead of getting some HP Evos, Im getting some custom made Boyd Coddingtons 'Tuned' wheels which look similar, but a hell of a lot better.

How much are the IForged wheels with tires going to cost you?

I like. Keeping them all the same diameter is the key. I don't like off set sizes on front and rear wheels on f-bodies.
