Any interest in 17" iForged Aeros? I've recently acquired dealer status with a few wheel manufacturers, and am curious about how many people would be interested in a set of 17x8 and 17x10 iForged Aero wheels? These would be 2pc and look identical to the 3pc wheels. These are the only widths available in 17s, and pricing would be less than $2K for a set.
If there is enough interest, I may order a few sets.

How I wish I was still in the market for a set of wheels. It's good to know you're now a dealer.
I wonder how these would look in 17's..I feel like I'm used to seeing the 18's. Did you have 17's on your formula?

Curious about these as well. 17x10 with a 315 DR out back would probably look pretty nice. Hoping that the wheels still look as nice in 17 as they do 18.
Do we get a choice in offsets?
*EDIT*- Tony, are the 2 piece w/o rivets? Iforged use to have a 2 peice "race series" with no rivets on the face like the HRE 84x line. I know that the Formula series has both 2 and 3 piece construction avail....just wondering if they were showing the 3 piece in the pics or if they were doing faux rivets on the 2 piece.
I would prefer a no-rivet look.

^^^ i believe those are Intro GTs IIRC. pretty much the same design, but not the Aeros. If 17" Aeros were introduced, i would venture to guess that it would be way more common among the f-body community.
i would be interested in seeing the price range for a set of 2 piece Astras sans bolts/ rivets though for another project car.

Astras should be available in 2pc 17s also. I'll ask. The rivets are an option on 2pc wheels, they are purely cosmetic.
I had 17x8 and 17x10 Intro GT's on my '69 Camaro, which share the same spoke pattern as the Aero. The only difference is that you wouldn't get the deep lip like on the old musclecars, unless you have your rear axle narrowed 2" per side.

Lip wouldn't be huge on a 17" wheel. Look at the rears on my '69 above, then subtract about 2" in lip from those. Those are 17x10 5.5 bs, a 4th gen would be 17x10 7.5 bs
Chrome isn't an option on 2pc wheels, and it is a costly option on 3pc wheels.
