Does anyone here use Forgeline race wheels?

I do and I am very happy with them. I use to use Kinesis but when they sold to Lexani I switched. Forgeline makes a nice wheel and are great to work with.

I do. I like them for their aesthetic and weight, but have had almost every one leak air. Forgeline has been good about fixing them, at $35/ea (the hassle of sending them there/back is the annoying part - not to mention the risk of a flat at speed on the track).

That's odd. I have 14 of them and have not had that problem.

I have two sets of their 18" three piece race wheels. I love mine, and would definitely buy another set. No issues with leaks on mine. Some of the older two piece wheels (which they don't make anymore) did have problems with leaks.

I also had a set of Forgelines - 17s - rears leaked - they fixed the first time no problem but I think they also changed ownership and then they would not fix.
Still have the fronts without any problems but not using them.

For you guys with no leaks, how frequently are you changing your tires on the wheels? My understanding is that leaks are caused by tire mounting/unmounting where the tire guy damages the silicone bead with a tire iron.
