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.

Only interesting to those who dont know how it works.
That comment wasnt meant to be negative or create drama.
I was just correcting a false statement.

Rushforth doesnt MAKE wheels he designs them and has his own line / brand that another company produces.

Foose doesnt MAKE wheels he designs them and has his own line / brand that another company produces

Hermance doesnt MAKE wheels he designs them and has his own line / brand that another company produces

Thats 3 examples of great wheel companies that DO NOT run their actual production. Point being that there are alot of wheel lines / brands but very few who actually manufacture them.

Ya there are a few companies that will private label wheels for the smaller guys. Glad to say we manufacture our own wheels in house
