Default What wheels were these ??

I cant understand why i have forgot the brand of these wheels..



This car has one of the best stance and looks i know and i think these wheels would look really nice in silver car too. What do you think ?

If you have any ideas where to ask good deal of these too ?

Those are Forgeline VR3P's, I recently purchased a set of 19's/20's for my car. Let me be the first to tell you that they are one of the nicest wheels I have seen, but they don't come cheap! Best deal on Forgelines would be through Frank Sarafin at Prodigy Customs/GP Superstore. Here is a couple pics of my wheels so you can get an idea of what all chrome looks like. Hope this helps

Thanks ZZ3ElCamino !!!!!!!!!!!!

Your wheels looks like out of modern art museum

I am sure those wont come cheap but i have had a set of "good" billet wheels.. This i want wheels wich are strong and race quality.

Do you have any idea of the "reverse lip" or "fat lip" desing of those wheels? Is it strong enough for road racing ?

Looks like its Frank every time when i asking good deals !!!

Bowtieracing, Forgeline actually just released a new series of wheel. I guess they call it their "Street Series", these have the regular solid 6061-T6 solid spun lip (http://www.forgeline.com/wheels/vr3s.html) which appears to be the same as their "Race Series" wheels. This may be more along the lines of something you might want if, you intend to beat that sh*t out of them at the track As far as strength of the "fatlip" designs, they are also solid 6061-T6 spun hoops just like the race series, so they probably have the close to the same strength as the other two. I am going for looks so I dig the fat lip design! Give Frank a call, I am sure he wouldn't have any problem talking cars with you.
