Forgeline: Forgeline GA3R Forged Aluminum 3-Piece Competition-Series Racing Wheel

would probably go with 18'x10.5' on all four corners with 305s all around...

matte black with hidden hardware...


Any comments would be appreciated :)

I like them but I dont know about 18's

I just think they are a little small, but performance wise

Why not just do the 11 in the back?

I forget why--I think 305 is as wide as we want to go

$1,200 each?!

yes--for performance--I also like 20s

Forgelines are a high quality custom wheel. $1200 is you get what you paid and you get a badass high quality wheel.

yep

18's have better tire selection for drag radials. With the power his motor is putting out he needs all the tire advantage he can get.

road race / street tire--no DRs

Those are sick wheels, but for the price you can get a set of HRE's... :D

lol...

HRE's leak air a lot. Do a search on google and you will see a ton of results for that topic.

I don't know where you got that from... I have HRE's and they don't leak air at all.. Not to mention that all the top racecars pretty much in the country run HRE's lol.. All Exotics etc...

I will look into HREs as well but I'm definitely leaning towards the Forgelines....I will read up about the alleged "leaking" for fun...

I've eyeballed these on Van's site many times. If Van's selling them you know they are the ultimate in performance. And, they're beautiful too!
