I didn't know anybody still bought Chrome wheels anymore? 
Though, i'm probably out of the loop so who knows. What car are you going to be in going 200mph, i wouldn't think it's the RCF is it? Whatever you decide let us know which is the Lightest/most durable on the market

I'm aiming for 800-1000 whp through FI. 200 mph will be easily reached.I don't know or care which is the lightest or the most durable on the market. I like these rims and want to know if they are durable enough to handle what I'll put them through.

I buy chrome. I don't care if anyone else does. If I wanted to be like everyone else I wouldn't have bought a RC F.

IF you're going to make 200mph in the RCF you should try & make it to the Texas 1/2 mile shootout Nov. 12/13. You would most likely be out running some of the TT Lambo's & TT Porsche's. Let me know if you can make it & i'll definitely try & look you up!

I'd like to be hitting that by Nov 12th, but I very seriously doubt it. I may be hitting the projected 530 whp that RR Racing has stated by then if I go with their supercharger. I'm aiming for 800-1000, but I don't know how long it will be before I get to that stage.

Yeah, i saw it but $400 for an extra 5-6 hp is not what i'm expecting. I know ISfast didn't seem too impressed after he had his done (he said it improved in some areas like driveability & response i believe but that's what i got when i bought the Apexi & it was a lot cheaper than $400).

I just wasn't expecting this to happen so soon. I figured I'd at least be out of my 50k mile warranty before someone made a real tune available, haha!

There is some mid-range torque too. But I'm still in agreement with you. I'm just excited about the ability to tune at all. It has opened a door.

Guess that's kinda what i'm expecting from a Tune on the RCF. But, i'm like you i'm just Excited there's some people out there making some headway!

What's the word on the durability of Avant Garde? Specifically these rims. I like these rims. They appeal to me more than any other rim I've seen so far. But I run my car hard, it's not a show car. I need rims that are going to hold up under racing conditions (and speeds up to 200 mph). I'm aware that these rims run about $6k, and that's fine with me. If they can withstand my abuse...
I'll also be looking for the 19" version, not the 20".

I know these aren't Volks, but that fact alone doesn't make them trash either. That would be like saying the RC F is trash just because it's not the M4.

Bump on this post since it got buried a page back. I'd like to hear from anyone who has heard anything bad (or good) about Avant Garde's forged rims. The specs appear to be in line with what they should be for a quality rim. But as it's known, not all forged are created equal. I'd hate to shell out a few grand on rims and have them bend or crack on me.

We have a thread dedicated to the AG Forged wheels here, might be worth taking a look at!
