iForged "Astra" on my 67 Camaro
Here is the '67 Camaro project. I lowered it with Photoshop since my new Moser Fab-9 rear axle hasn't shown up yet. haha. Wheels are 18x8 (5.0 bs) front and 18x10 (5.5 bs) rear, iForged "Astra" with brushed centers. This is their newest wheel design, not many people have them yet. I liked the thicker spokes for the old car. Nitto 245 and 285 wide tires on this car.
I didn't want to make the '02 Firehawk jealous, so she has new wheels/tires too. 18x10 fronts and 18x11 rears, CCW SP500 wheels, BFG KDW2 tires.

looks great Tony...those are similar to the Fikse FM5s but with bolts. Are they also similarily priced as well?

They were around ~$600/wheel with the brushed/clearcoat finish.

They look awesome Tony, and as usual, very nice pictures. The I Forged are a very nice wheel. We became I Forged distributors, just sold a set to our PT member Venomous. So if anyone needs them, you have the hook up

Good to know Frank! I've bought enough iForged wheels to be a dealer myself, haha.

Looks nice Tony.
yeah, I love those rims. They were going to release them a few years back but I think they didn't want to deal with the Fikse competition. Also if you check they might be able to put the bolts in from the back side so they aren't noticable.MrQuick ΜΟΛ'ΩΝ ΛΑΒ'Ε

You can actually order them in welded 2-piece without bolts ;)

I think the 67 looks good. They remind me of the Fikse wheel.

I thought they remind me of the Budnik "Lateral" wheel but without the bolts going around the perimeter.
