Call CCW to see if he has 15s in 8 and 9" as they are about 30% less, if not I would buy Jongbloeds again... maybe look at Braid also - http://www.braidusa.com/Wheels/Comp/BZ/BZ.htm

If I'm not mistaken, the Braid Fuchs have cast centers on spun rims halves.

i dont think forgeline makes a 15...

i love my jongbloeds for look, lightness etc...they seem to dissapate heat alot better than the kieser/buckley 5 spokes do.

CCW is a definate option but its a 2 piece not a 3....
ive heard braids can be hard to get in touch with/recieve wheels from accross the pond.
BBS have a new 15 coming out but it is STUPID money...along the lines of 1000.00 per wheel...dont get that at all.
heard of bogart but no stories (this was the first good or bad i have seen of them from the pca community)

so its hard to say...im looking for a second set but not sure yet

According to their webpage, Kodiak makes 15" forged wheels at around $500 each.

Those are the 2 piece wheels, right?

Yes, and they look very good also. I seem to remember there being and issue of actually getting their wheels in a reasonable amount of time but it's been a couple years so I could be off or it may be different now...
