If you want to look different for now you can always powdercoat them black and go with forged later. I powdercoated mine until I wore the tread off the back tires.

BTW...here's another forged option (just in case).

You are correct and have a point, Its not that I dont have the money to go forged, Its that I dont know if I want to spend that much on tires and wheels right now. I am going with pro-charger for sure just debating where I want to spend the money first.. Options Options Options
BTW car looks great.. Thanks for sharing

Yea...I know what you mean. It's a tough decision to make, but I'm glad I went the direction I did. Good luck in whatever you decide.

I never got sucked into needing $5,000.00 wheels to make my car look good. The factory wheels on the car aren't forged and they look fine. I think the rims you picked look good in the picture but up close it's hard to say. Remember you got wheel salesmen telling you that you need Forged wheels or your car won't be good enough. Not to take away from you sales guys trying to make a buck but really, there are a lot of rims that look great for an everyday car that aren't $5,000.00 forged rims.

i had the foose wheels (cast) and liked them, but i ended up going with iforged three piece wheels later and they are defiantly worth the price.

wheels look way better, and the quality is great

what wheels are these?

SSmoothie · 12-22-2010, 07:37 PM

Dude go with what your feeling, but I will say that most of the guys giving there opinion on getting the best wheel have be there and bought the cast and wish later that they would have spent the extra on a better quality wheel, me included. I have almost 5K in wheels and tires and $1600 in suspension, but it puts a big smile on my face when I'm driving down the road. Post pics when you get them on.

Have a Happy Holiday,

Clay

I do not think my cast wheels make my car look cheap. I would love some forged 3 piece wheels, but I am not paying for them

I really want some Forgestar F14s in 22s but I will probably just stick with my wheels.

I agree, I agree. There is alot more mark-up in forged wheels than cast. I agree they definately look better but My 5k in the bank account looks GREAT also...

Sorry man, I INTERPRETED all the words in all CAPS and the EXCLAMATION POINTS as anger, but I get where you are coming from. I have been very pleased with both cast and forged wheels, but the level of happiness that my 360 Forged wheels have given me to this point far outweighs the happiness received from previous cast wheels. Just like taylor ryan said, there are very nice looking and more affordable cast wheels. I absolutely love the look of his car. Good luck. Sorry I misinterpreted your previous post replying to Nineball's comment

Love the look of your car man. Very tasteful mods that aren't over the top and tacky. NICE
