These are new designs and we will include custom brush finishing and colors at no additional cost at this time, of course base colors are available and we will provide a color list available.

We are working at this moment to get these things on the way!!! We are excited as well so as soon as we are able to release the designs we will.

Thank you all for your interest and mostly for your feedback!

I would pay about what a used cost of HRE or OEM (BBS) turbo wheels cost, so call it $3-4K

For me much of my decisions would be based on:

- do racers use them with no issues (proves strong/light)?
- do they look good in my subjective opinion, on my car(s)?
- does the seller/manufacturer have a good brand reputation (wisdom of the crowd)

I have bought new forged BBS before, and have inherited a few sets of HRE. Would like to see some disruption in the space here. Who knows, maybe in some future fantasy world Porsche will equip its new cars with forged rims again. I won't hold my breath.

Can you make a post of all of the current designs and coloring options available or plan to make available? Usually companies that are pretty transparent tend to have a really good support base within communities

Will you be offering forged magnesium wheels, forged aluminum or both?
