Intro Wheels----Good or Bad? - Page 2 - Lateral-g Forums

Forgeline, F43, etc are great wheels indeed. CCW's are probably cheaper than Intro and are a race proven strong wheel if that's what your needs are.

What's a set of Intro's cost these days?

not defending just INTRO ,BUT intro also makes wheels for other companys . als most wheel companys never test there wheels to get race wheel certified .

that being said for a autocross car that is just a normal street car that is driven on a autocross , YES they will be fine for that , light track days YES they will be fine for that .I have seen factory wheels crack and brake on a track day if they are driven real hard .so just check them after you autocross the car and see if they look ok !

He gave me his receipt and if I remember correctly (I'm at work

) it was around 3K. They are 17x8 front and 18x9 rear.

Have you been over to Nick's lately. I've been wanting to check out your car. I work one block away from him.

What about Intro's three piece series??

Billet machined centers, hoops come from same manufacturer as the others I was told.

Or are we just talking cast wheels? Comparing Formula43's or Forgeline's to any cast wheel is sort of an apples to oranges comparison, no?

Todd pretty much said it perfect.
I always say...."Purpose built"..... what are you using the vehicle for ?
I've been a dealer for close to 8 years and use 3 piece Intros on 99% of my builds. Those builds are for street driving and occasional autocross (in a non competitive format).
They do make economy (entry type) billet wheels that are less expensive and seem "cheap" to others. But so do alot of companies. The old saying is you get what you pay for. As mentioned they manufacture wheels for a few other companies too that are higher quality, forged, 3 piece wheels.
