They are forgelines, I am not sure about the bs, etc.

You can get any bs you want btw, that is what I have on the gto. Great people to deal with. Prodigy is a dealer also.

Forgeline wheels.. 18x12 rear (6" backspace).. 18x9 can't remember the backspacing.. they are not that color anymore. See my site for more pics :)
I have the correct backspacing somewhere for the fronts.. let me dig around.

steve is a High Roller...... :twothumbs lol
That's an old picture of Penny that I've never seen.
I must say the anodized black finish looks better.

lol.. yea, right.. You know.. he didn't pay that much for those wheels. Only around $2k for the whole set (I have the receipt), I guess that means you should shop around :)

Cheap skate! I would have used a C-Note, not a lousy $50.
PS- They look more like the WC3 wheels on Forgeline's website.

hahaha....I've seen all those parts in your garage, your not fooling me! j/k
those are some nice wheels for sure and 2k is the cheapest I have head of anyone getting them. I have a hook up....but it isn't anywhere close to that

I think they are gone now, surely hope so. They certainly took away from the car.

Well that was to to three years ago.. inflation I guess.. lol
That's a $20.. a $100 would have just seemed pretentious..

They are wall art in the garage, I liked the concept of them but not the execution. The rivited on deals were just a little to "good old boy" for me. Maybe molded into the front damn and hooked the proper way to the rotors so they cool evenly..

Penny looks MUCH better with the dark wheels. Damn those front scoops were hideous, not even in the same league with the rest of the car. Probably one of those late, late night "Miller Lite" idea mods.

i dunno, i don't think they were thatttt bad...they just needed some fine tuning, imo.

All I know is those are some damn nice wheels, but unfortunetly they are way out of my price range. Anyone know where you can get that look with custom bs for less money.

Looking good isn't cheap, especially when talking wheels. If you need custom backspacing, that means you need at least a 2-pc wheel. Expect to pay $1800 or more for 17s, $2300 or more for 18s.
Might be better to find a used set.
