Can you educate me a little on wheels and your manufacturing process?

What are the benefits of 1 piece forged versus 3 piece forged? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

What alloy do you use in your wheels?

Do you have any wheels that resemble the spoke pattern in the BBS LMs?

huh? No, I was just asking you so I could learn more about wheels along with what you offer too. You mentioned your company will be coming out with 1 piece forged wheels later so I wanted to know what are the differences between 1 or 3 piece forged.

No problem dude. 1 Piece Forged is just that, a wheel forged and cut from 1 piece. A 3 piece wheel is composed of 3 pieces 1 the center disk and 2 barrels inner and outer. Most forged wheels are manufactured using 6061-t6 tempered aluminum. I will post some pics of the components used to build a 3 piece wheel on Monday when I get back to the office to give you a better idea of what they look like apart... On the website there is also a little bit about why forging is better then casting and so on.

Although the price is on the high end, ISS is a great company and that wheel looks beautiful!

I also want to see a set on a F.

just regarding pricing, im not here to bash or anything, but starting as a newer company, wouldnt you try to have lower prices to ge the name out there and once you have a more established name and product out there, then you can raise the price for the "name" like other brands?

I know you have the exhaust for the IS-F and all that....not my cup of tea, but i hear great things about it. nice to see a local company doing things though.

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.....
Totally Agree Nice marketing ploy But everything you are saying is nothing new to be frank.

No wheel is better than BBS / Volk / Work in terms of racing heritage and experience!
