Did some internet searching and didn't find much positive info, but it was not current either.

Anyone dealt with this company or the owner Brian De La Vera in the past couple of months?

Looking to purchase a set of 3 piece forged wheels but don't want to risk what little $$ I have!


Thanks!

Cannot say I know anything about that company but I would recommend saving up more and looking as a more well-known manufacturer. Forgeline, Billet Specialties, Budnik, Boze, Rushforth for three piece wheels and Finspeed has one piece wheels.

Id give them a shot if they have the price and design you like. Look at their product, what type of aluminum, hardware grade (arp) etc.

Does it really cost $5k to make a set of quality wheels?

I don't know anything about their reputation, but they do have some nice designs.

I'm curious about them as well. Let us know what you find out.

I called because I was curious too and they happen to be right down the street from me lol. For a set of one off wheels it's 300 for the programming then whatever the cost of wheels is going to be. I asked about a set of 18 or 19x 12 (all 4) and they said about 3k. So around 3500 for some one of one wheels that you can design..... No too bad! Oh and they use the same forgings as HRE.

If they're affiliated with ForgeStar I'd strongly recommend you stay away. Boze Forged is right down the highway in Laguna Hills. Zak or Larry will definitely take care of you. They offer great wheels at affordable prices. I live the clutch wheels Boze made for me.

Is there something wrong with Forgestar? I've heard they were pretty good and you can get a set for 2K. Not many style choices....
