Umm, If you guys have been in development for "months" and were releasing the 1 pc wheels soon, then why wasnt mdrums or I told about this? I constantly brought up my concern over 3 pc wheels eventually leaking due from track use. I was only assured leaks are rare, but was never offered nor told any type of 1 pc wheel were in development.
I ordered my wheels 2 weeks ago, and Mike ordered his last week. And all of a sudden, you "let the cat out of the bag" about the exact wheel we wanted in the first place?
David, can you please explain? Not really feeling to hot about this right now....

The monoblock Forgelines look awesome! I'm still going to go through with my 3pc GA3R in 19".
Dave how are mine coming along in production? These are the ones bought from Jeff and shipping to Apollo Beach FL.
I'm a little nervous about the fronts at 8.5x19 et53. People keep telling me I should get a 9" wide wheel instead...but I'm not sure about the offset it should have because the GT3RS 9x19 et47 would stick out past my front fender way too far but then I don't know what it would take for offset so that it doesn't stick out but doesn't rub on the inside at the shock either?????

Your wheels are actually shipping today in order to get to you in time for your event. On the 9" wheel, it's a tough call. Your car has the Cup arms on it, which really throws a wrench into the standard measurements for the car. If you want to run with these for now, I would be willing to work with you on taking some measurements and trying to get 9" wheels to work up front. Just give me a call or shoot me an email. (Let me know if I am not supposed to be shipping your wheels today)
THANKS! I'm super excited!

i spoke with BBS USA.
everything else being equal, one piece is always lighter and stronger than 3pcs
3ps, however, is easier and cheaper to repair.

wow, so centerlocks are actually heavier than the 5-lug version. so wtf is the benefit of these damn wheels! <-- referring to centerlock, not the GA1R btw.
I'm ordering GA3R's. love the lip and design!

I have GA3R and really like the look of them. They are a beautiful wheel, and forgeline did me a favor by making them on such short notice.
In the future, i will probably just buy the 1 pc wheels from them. Just piece of mind for me really. Dont want any chance of developing leaks....
