Mmmm Forgeline ZX3Ps

[eville]

I really like these wheels... but, the smallest size is 18". I'd really prefer to run 17". Who else makes a wheel that looks like this? Or should I just run 18's?

Those are nice.

these Boze Forged are kind of similar, and what I am considering for my project "Burnt Toast".

Then there's these that are more like the Forgelines in that all the spokes are radial, yet a pretty different look.

[Damn True]

I really need to stop looking at these high-end wheel threads. The wheels I have chosen will work just fine, look great and not cost more than my transmission. But daaaaayyyyyuuuuuum, those are sexy!

That's almost like looking at porn :drool: Forgelines are probably my favorite wheels, and if I had the funds to spend 4k on wheels I'd have a set. Honestly, if I had the money to buy a set, I'd probably go with a slightly appearance-over-performance route and buy 18's(f) and 19's(r) just because they look so incredibly sweet.

Eville will not be paying $4000 + for his wheels because he has the hook up!

We think the ZX3Ps are awesome too. 18s look just fine!

Ok, ok you guys are convincing me. (thanks, i needed that) I'm close to making this decision even though it's $1,600 more than the boze mesh and 18's will cost me $500 more for tires than 17's....

which color center on a black car? I think I like the powder silver from the pic above. Opinions?

[muthstryker]

i think kiniese or what ever makes a wheel similar i dont know if its cheaper or not.

http://www.kinesismotorsport.com/forged.htm - the K18 and K19 are similar to the Forgelines

[D Rock]

I agree with the 18s, those wheels are awesome, they will be worth the extra money.

I'm a big fan of charcoal centers.. more menacing.. lol

silver would look nice as well on a black car..

Yea, but you also don't wanna be thinking "gee, I wish I had money to eat something besides Ramen noodles" :hammer: :barf: Done that one before haha

Ramen noodles are just a temporary suffering.. wheels are a long term deal.

Ok, now for the next question....
Nitto 555s or Nitto NT01s?

[Steve1968LS2]

Depends on what size you want. I went with the Toyo RA1 since they had better sizing in their R-compound (NT01ish) line of tires. If you want a harder tire then the 555 is hard to beat.

Oh, and people think my wheel centers are black.. they are really the charcoal finish..

Touche :cheers: I stumbled off the path there for a sec...just needed someone to put things back into perspective for me :rotfl:

[eville]

I'm going to try and run a 275/35/18 on all four corners. $800 for the 555s $1,000 for the NT01s. I think I'm going to try the NT01s

Keep in mind two things..

1. they will last about half the time of the 555s
2. they are more prone to toss rocks up on your lower fenders and quaters.

Nonetheless, they perform great except in rain. If your paint is nice you may want to consider some XPEL on the exposed areas (what I did).

[Payton King]

I am going to need some

[eville]

Thanks steve. We'll see, I ordered two NT01s today to test fit the front. If they fit then I can order wheels after christmas!
