Default Cheep Forged 11" Wide Wheels

Not Intrested In A Hrw,ccw,fikse, Or I-forged Pricetag And I See There Are Plenty Of Companies That Sell Forged Wheels At "reasonable" Prices

The Only Thing I Cant Find Is One Of These Companies That Sell 17x11 Wheels....

Anyone Know Of A Good Wheel Companie That Sells Forged 17x11 Wheels And Dosent Cost Over Say $300-$400 A Wheel

boyds were about the cheapest 2 piece wheel I could find when I looked. It been a while though now(maybe 2 years) and the wheels are nearly a hundred more than they were then. Good luck finding anything forged for less than 400/wheel. When I was looking I think I could get timeless 2s or rebels (boyds) for 1450 for 17x9.5 x2 and 17x11 x2, shipped and delivered. It appears now it will be closer to 1800.

If there are really any attractive wheels of any size which are forged and less than 300 per wheel, please post them

If you are really set on 17x11, look at some polished Zr1s, at least then you could powder coat them or anodize or paint, you could come up with something nice and still have enough for good tires rather than buying sumitomo garbage

Cheap and forged do not usually fit into the same sentence, but if you have a lead on some reasonable forged wheels you like one option is to have the rear set widened to your desired 11" width. I personally might not do that but many on here have their wheels widened with great results. Something to think about I guess.

That depends on if you are talking about his billet wheel line, or the cast aluminum 2-pc (Junkyard Dog, Smoothie II, etc...) His "Classic Series" are cast aluminum centers, not forged.
