      Liquid Metal wheels? Anyone heard of them?

      I found this site that sells all these wheels and they have a small line of 3 piece wheels called liquid metal. Im wondering if anyone knows about these and if they come in limited sizes or if they will clear C5 brakes. I like the Mesh wheels. Im pretty sure they are under 400 bucks a piece too. a lot cheaper then fikse or forgelines.

      thanks

      I've seen them at Discount Tire before, so I know they must be (or are owned by) a fairly large company. The problem you may have will be getting proper backspacing. However, from what I've seen, even though these are a multi-piece wheel, these type of wheel manufacturers tend not to offer a wide range of backspacing options or custom orders. Their wheels may all be set up for positive offsets, etc.

      But it would be worth looking into, that Splinter wheel is pretty sharp. Looks oddly similar to the billet specialties wheels on the Rad Rides 70 Nova.

      I have Liquid Metal wheels on my Tahoe. They are heavy, but they're 22"s and are not three piece. Good wheel for the money in my case

      I've looked into them, too damn expensive! If I remember correctly it's like $1200 to $1400 per wheel (those wheels jknight posted are 3-peice).
      Go with Rushforth, the best damn wheel you can find & their prices can't be beat!

      This was the wheel (Jak) I was looking to buy along with the 2 jknight posted above. I had a hard time finding a local dealer but when I did it was way more than most Liquid Metal wheels due to the fact they are 3-piece. I picked up some Rushforth, Livewires (looks almost identical) for half the price I was quoted for the Liquid Metal, Jak.

      Damn I was really hoping these wheels would be cheap. I just cant spend the money for the big money wheels. It sucks because i have 13 inch brakes and ats tall spindles just sitting under my bed waiting to go on but no wheels to stuff them in! Im on 15 inch rallys right now!
