#2

Look alot like Vette Y2K wheels. Very Nice! Very Clean!



Many of the other wheels you show have that "Iron Cross" look, if you know what I mean (spokes wide toward the outside edge) ... Just not my style.

The last couple of wheels are nice, but I don't like all the rivets in the rim. Looks just too "busy" in my opinion.

#2 was my choice too and being that they are Centerlines, the price is just right. I cant see paying more than $500 for a wheel. Other than those, I like #13, but too expensive for me!

Number 13 DEFINATELY!

I have seen #1 and #11 on Camaros, and I was very disappointed. I had money in hand, ready to buy the Timeless 5's (#11) until I saw them in person.

The iForged Aeros look incredible in 18" sizes. Out of the bunch, I would say they are by far the best looking wheel. They're expensive, but worth it IMO. Wheels will make or break the way a car looks!

Just thought I'd point out that the Timeless 5 and the Timeless 2 are two different wheels. The #11 above is a Timeless 2 (more pics in my sig & on my webshots page).

#13





I really wanted the #1 Budnik Tillers but they could not build me a 10.5" or 11" wide rear wheel in an 18" size with the "Fat Lip" profile. Plus they couldn't build me the custom offsets I wanted and only could get me a 1.75" lip on the wheels. iForged worked with me to get a 2.5" lip in the front and a massive 3.5" lip in the rear. Now that's what I'm talking about, a truly custom wheel. HRE, Boyd, Billet Specialties, Fikse, and Simmons wouldn't work with me on a "custom" size and offset so my money went to iForged in the end. I figured that I should get the offset I wanted when paying that much $$$ for any wheel.

I like #3 a lot. What type of wheels are they? They look very similar to the Budnik Fontana Fat Lip, which I like a lot, but they are so damn $$$.
