For sure man. Any time. But, even though the rear camber looks great in pictures, -7.5* is a little much in person. I want more poke with less camber, so that means a full on fender flare job. Me and my fender roller are going to be real good buddies. We may even invite a phone book or two. haha

www.forgeline.com -> prices for each wheel are actually listed on the website.

HAH! You're an OG in the 2IS game man. Ive been around this forum for a couple of years, just haven't posted a lot. Always a trendsetter. The fact that you even mention me is an honor.

Yea, to be honest, I didn't see myself ending up with these particular wheels, so close to an SP3. Also, the pics really don't do the finish justice. It looks darker in most pictures than it really is. WAY far from spectrum silver. Im probably going to do tinted clear on the lips this winter. Not feeling the bling of polished lips.

Ask and you shall receive. Playing around with the iPhone 6 camera at cars and coffee this morning. No filter believe it or not, Just blurry because it was cropped out of a shot I took of a 4 car lineup.

First off, I don't work for, nor am I in any way affiliated with Forgeline, but as I was on my quest for 3pc wheels, I decided to choose a smaller company right in my backyard. Where instead of being like most, 8 weeks later and have no idea whats going on, I could drive 45min and figure out exactly where my hard-earned money was going.

My first trip to Dayton, OH to visit the shop, I was greeted by the owner himself. I was taken on a tour of the facilities, and then my car was put up on the lift, and measured to the mm, plus a lot more, to get the exact specs I wanted. He even worked with me on details such as achieving maximum lip on the rear, while leaving tolerance to shave down in front and still clear the brakes if I chose offsets that were too aggressive.

3 weeks later, yes THREE (not 6, not 8), I made my return trip to Dayton to mount up my wheels. The entire factory gathered around my car for this one. Mind you, this company contracts with racing divisions, and built the wheels for the Hennessey Venom GT world record speed run. As such, the faces looked much like this:



While me and my buddies from Lowcally Famous are just running around like:




So anyway, without further adieu:

Forgeline GA3 w/ exposed hardware in Midnight silver with polished lip. 19x9.5, 19x11.5.
As far as offsets, the question one should ask is if they even HAVE offsets.











That. Fitment. Though. I know this may be late but that is just inspiration at its finest. I have A LOT of work to do. Looking to have a similar set up but im having a rough time considering this is my very first build. Went 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 rear +35 all around. Should be getting them tomorrow! Already looking into figs toe links/control arms etc.. wish I would have found this thread sooner! Pure awesomeness.
