ISS / ISF Special Edition Wheels
What will be the weight on a lets say, 20x10.5 wheel? This is probably one of the most important factors when replacing the stock BBS. There are great looking wheels on the market, but they are heavy as hell. I wouldn't but wheels that are heavier than the stock ones.
Depends on the style. The X-10's are 22lbs at 20x9 so figure 20x10.5 will be 25lbs - 27lbs on most of our designs. Most 3 piece wheels at that size are that weight or heavier. But let look at the reality of this, at 20x10.5 you are not really looking to optimize performance so 1 or 2 lbs are not going to make you or break you. In all reality 5lbs per wheel will not change much on the street, no matter how hard you drive. Now if you were looking to buy wheels for the track I would have to point you in another direction. Regardless of track or street use we pocket the back of our wheels to shed as much unnecessary weight as possible. Max Performance from our product is always on our mind. We have been know for making some light 3 piece wheels.

There's a company called AMT that builds their own wheels (doesn't source from others) and they take off unnecessary weight from certain places..
Some pics of their work:
there's always ways to save weight and hopefully still retain structural strength.

Will these wheels come in 19s? If so, what will be the maximum width, or can that be custom? I'm not looking to install 20s on a performance car. TIA.
Yes they do come in 19". We can build wheels 15 inches wide if needed. All our wheels are custom built to order so we can accommodate for wide body kits and or custom brakes. PM me if your interested in a set.

Is the wheel posted earlier in this thread the only IS-F offering or are other styles available as well?
what's 360 Forged?
Are they a rim company or something???
... you are so right.. for $6500 you can buy a set of LM's.. HRE's, NEEZ, Fikse, etc...
and you can jump on the same band wagon as thousands of other people
OR you can be different.. and have something that no one really has to stand apart from the rest...
to each their own.
IMHO I'd rather rock something new and different, not an average joe wheel !

Hate to play devil's advocate here or be the bearer of bad news but are you crazy????
At $6500 you can buy a ton of other wheels....I wonder who here will really open their wallet for that kind of money! Lotsa talk but highly doubt you're going to sell any.
Let's see....$6500 you can buy:
A set of 20" BBS LM's
HRE's, NEEZ, Fikse, etc.....

That is a beautiful looking wheel. However, I've got to say that the problem for me is giving up the excellent BBS stockers. I replaced my Viper OEM wheels with Forgeline VR3Ps for better looks and performance due to 8 lbs. per wheel weight savings and proven track durability. IMO, the IS F BBS wheels are great looking and track ready and just too nice to spend $6500 replacing them.
