Default My new Forgeline wheels are done.. and on the way..

Can't wait to get them wrapped in rubber and on the car.

We used blind Titanium fasteners to knock off a few pounds. Dave at Forgeline sent over this teaser picture.

Thought I would change it up a bit.. I still have the other wheels.

And it's fairly easy to powder the centers of these gunmetal down the line if I want. I felt the bright machined centers on these would look great with the prowler orange.

I hear ya. Always easy to change that. I just feel that your orange is one of the perfect colors to complement gunmetal, that's all.

Either way, gonna look killer on there.

Gonna look nice. Of all the wheels you have had I like these the best. I agree the polished will look great against the orange.

Two.. I sold the 17s when I found they no longer fit my suspension.. I sold the WC3s when I bought these and my 5-spokes are not my "track wheels"
