Hi Guys! Sorry for the long absence. As you probably know, we were exhibiting at SEMA last week, and it was exhausting. However it was also amazing! The response and enthusiasm from those visiting our booth was great. We were busy virtually the entire time. And though we worked hard, we also had a lot of fun. It was great to meet the members of this forum who stopped by the booth.

As you can probably imagine, we've got a gazillion photos of cars on display on Forgeline wheels. I don't want to spam the board by posting them all at once, so I'll try to spread them out over the next few weeks.

Thanks again to everyone who stopped by and/or helped spread the word about our presence at SEMA this year. It was very cool, and we are already looking forward to next year.

What are you guys calling that red powder coat on that monoblock wheel on your display? Is there a gold or copper version of that powder coat

Nice set-up, too bad the show isn't open to the public average joe

We call that "Transparent Red". Sort of looks like an anodizing, but it is a combination of polish prep and various powder coat processes.


Is there a gold or copper version of that powder coat

Yes. We have "Transparent Copper" set up on the website. And we could certainly do a "Transparent Gold", even though we don't currently have it formally listed as an option. We should be able to do a "transparent" version of just about any color.

Mark,

Good looking display, definitely a huge step up from the PRI one last year.

How was the traffic?

Thanks! As you can imagine, that was an entire project all in itself. A lot of time, stress, and money went into the booth, but it turned out very well.


How was the traffic?

Amazing. Seriously exceeded every expectation. It was crazy from bell to bell on Tuesday. Had a slight lull in the last hour on Wednesday. Then crazy again all day Thursday and Friday. No concerns about traffic. Now our concern is figuring out a way to follow up with all of the people who had asked us to call them.

Is Summit Racing going to be carrying Forgelines in the future?

I've found that my attempts to predict the future generally lack accuracy.

There were Forgelines on what seemed like half of the display cars. Unbelievable!
