Default Affordable forged wheels

I'm going to be starting a new project after being out of the loop for a while and am shocked by the current price of forged wheels. Last one's I bought for my Camaro were CCW and I remember paying $400 each. Now they are $1300 each.

Are there any reasonably priced forged wheels available these days?

1pc wheels are cheapest, $250-600
Boze Flo Lite, Rocket Racing, US Mags, American Racing, Forgestar

2pc wheels are more, but also offer back spacing adjustment & customization
3030 Autosport - 2pc USA made, $800-1100 a wheel
Billet Specialties, $1000+

3pc wheels made in USA have been $1000+ as long as I've been at it (13+ years) but yea most of them are now $1200+.
I can get you into a set of forgelines for a good price, Boze too.

There have been some offshore brands that have pretty good pricing around $3500-4k a set, including Rueda wheels, and KNRC. Customers of mine have used them before and say they're decent, but I've got no personal experience with those brands.

On instagram/facebook, etc check out the following:

KRNC
SP2 Forged Wheels
Claymore Forged Wheels

Most of the forged blanks come from the same places so guys who can setup machining houses and repeatable coating options can come in at a lower price.

May not be the same thing as a Forgline, but gives you a better option as some of the flowform stuff and other options.
