Post forgeline wheels

quick question for the board.

anyboby know anything about Forgeline wheels? I'm considering light wheels for the track (D.E.)and was thinking Fikse or BBS. Someone has mentioned Forgeline but, whereas I am familiar with the BBS and Fikse products, I know virtually nothing about the quality, etc., of the Forgeline wheels.

thanks for your input.

I would stick w/ BBS, Fikse, Forgeline or Kinesis. Other than cosmetics the critical issues will be the available widths and o/s. They all do not offer the same options. For that reason some will fit a given application a bit better than others, some will need a spacer to fit a given width on a given application some will not. Its worth doing your h/w thouroughly

Jim,
Can the coupon be used at a Forgeline dealer or directly with Forgeline only? What are you asking for it?

Run away from Forgeline as fast as you can. Two of my Forgeline RS wheels developed cracking at the weld site causing a complete loss of pressure. Forgeline response was "send them back and we will look at them". Their conclusion was that my wheels had reached the end of their usable life. REALLY!!

The best solution they offered was to let me buy a new set at dealer cost. Why would I want more Foregeline wheels. For half the price I purchased a set of Boxster wheels which had been refurbished by Wheel Enhancements.
