So we took a couple of Forgeline's most popular wheels and threw a bit of a curve at them. Since Forgeline is one of a few companies that actually cuts, coats and builds their wheels in house, they have a unique ability to be able to chuck the wheel back in the CNC and diamond cut the edges after powder coat.

This is a ultra cool option on black or other dark colored wheels as super dark wheels have a tendency to turn into black holes at 20 feet. It is almost impossible to photograph a black wheel and capture the actual wheel style. Diamond cutting allows us to have a sinister black wheel, but the cut edges show off the character lines of the wheel. It also is a nice way to pull in minor trim on otherwise blacked out cars.

So I wondered what a SP3P would look like in black and fully diamond cut on Project Prodigy. Holy cow is it smokin hot. These are Prodigy's new wheels on the way back to us now


The second wheel I have been thinking about was the popular SO3P, diamond cut, but with a added character groove in the middle of the spoke. Georges Navy Flyer is the perfect candidate for this new wheel, and this one of George's wheels on the way to us also. This is also the same wheel we will run on Larry's MotiV8r. I personally LOVE the solid / split 5 spoke look. I have a set of these built in 19 X 8 and 18 X 10 built for sale.

WOW! Just by diamond Cutting the edges you get a completely new look. That SP3P looks killer!

damn the S03P is really sharp. Just a little out of my budget, but I'm working on it :fingersx:

Looks very cool. Kinda reminds me of the fessler design but more subtle. Still very sick looking though. I love them!

I've been on Lateral & Pro-Touring for about a year and haven't posted but I have to complement Frank @ Prodigy for not only having the best prices but also outstanding tech & customer service. I've been waiting for the perfect wheels to come along, Frank and Forgeline did it again. Check out the set that Frank just ordered for me:

18"/19" combo (rear w/5" lip and NO mini tub - all due to Frank's expertise). Frank is right on about diamond cut - it really adds a whole new dimension to the wheels. Thanks Frank and Forgeline!
p.s. can someone photo shop this wheel on a black 69 RS vert - it's going to be about 5 weeks before I can actually see these in person.

Diamond cut Wheels and Tire packages are in the mid $5k range depending on sizes and finishes.

Good thing these cost more than I want to spend, but they are NICE. Other wise I'd be off trying to cancel my order. I was looking for a total black rim, and now this has changed my mind on that. Keep up the good work, congrats on making a killer rim!

Thank you to ALLKAR for photoshop the wheels (not my vehicle). It will be 2-3 years before I'll be able to change color from Leman Blue to Black. I think the wheel well chrome and rocker panel chrome need to go.

I really like the SP3P Diamond! The diamond cut really sets off the flat finish!

Those are crazy! Love it. When you get the car black, the wheels will be even more sick!

Congratulations.

Does anyone besides me like the late model Corvette wheel that looks somewhat like the SP3P? I saw one today on the local Chevrolet lot and really liked the wheels.
