Forgeline SO3P Alternative?

I hear you Bill,
First about explaining to the wife that my wheels and tires, which would have cost over 6k if I went with HRE/Kinesis and the like, still cost about 3k (CCW 19x13's with 345/30/19's & 19x10's with 275/30/19's). She thought the car looked fine with what was on there...



And as for Allen, he can get you in trouble. I have been lucky so far, but I have a feeling once both of our Camaros are on the road we will hook up at autocross events in the SF Bay Area and I too will be explaining Allen to my wife (j/k Allen).

If I had passed on the pin-drive knockoff option,my 17x9 & 17x13 PSE Kidney Beans would have cost around $1700 for the set. Adding the knockoffs bumped the price another $1000.
PS Engineering makes a few cool wheels that won't break the budget.

TonyL - hey thanks for posting those Breyton wheels. I looked through all the wheels on TireRack.com the other day, but for some reason I must've look over those; I really like them. I might be able to swing $425 or so a wheel, so I'll have to look into those. Maybe I'm just missing something, but once you get to the page about a specific wheel at TireRack.com, is there any way you can see what sizes, widths, backspaces, bolt patterns, prices, etc. the wheel is available in?? On the wheel's page, it lists what diameters are available, but thats it. Am I missing something obvious?

Here is a link but it looks like these are for BMW's.

I did not spend too long looking at the entire site so maybe I missed something.

Just as a side note/rant: has anyone noticed that in this month's PHR (June), 2 of the 3 feature cars have Torq Thrust II's? I mean, I went to the Hot Rod Power Tour stop in Fort Worth last year, and from the ~120 pictures I took, I counted 23 cars with them. I really like this wheel, but it has to be one of the most over-used wheels on muscle-era cars today. Sorry, couldn't help throwing that out there because I like them a lot but can't bring myself to use them anymore. That is why I'm now looking for alternatives.
