VS Forged Wheels?

Well I did it, order has been placed. I had a pretty good back and forth discussion with GetYourWheels and feel pretty confident with the brand now actually. Went with the specs that I posted in the OP and sounds like they should give me a good bit of concavity front and rear and won't really be all that hard to fit. They aren't THAT aggressive compared to many on here that shoe horned off the shelf wheels with way too low of offsets.
Will update in a couple months when they arrive

Although forged they’re actually a 2 piece welded together in the center and then cleaned up really effectively. By essentially only making half a mono block and welding an inner barrel they’re able to offer the wheels at such a competitive price point.
Also most US forged companies use 3 different US manufacturers for their forged blanks so there is a quality difference when it comes to the forgings themselves.
Wheels look clean and if you’re happy with them that’s all that matters.

Got any references to backup that information? I’m actually curious.
But at this point these cost what a flow form wheel does, weigh less, and fully customizable. Hard to complain. Their standard brushed finishes also cost hundreds extra per wheel from the few companies I inquired about.
I’ll get a much closer inspection of them tomorrow.

I’m in the industry.
The labor on brushing or or anything is vastly less expensive overseas, hard for any US manufacturer to compete when it comes to custom finishes like that. Definitely awesome for the consumer.

Barrel welded to the backside of the face. The IForged were supposed to look like a 3 piece, hated them, came with my NSX. The SSR were similar welded barrel to a face to look like a standard monoblock.

They came early! So far, finish is pretty damn amazing pics hardly do it justice. Concavity front and rear is exactly what I was hoping for. Hard to picture it too for some reason which is why I think I was nervous to see them in person based off the pics. Also, can’t even weigh them because my scale doesn’t register below 20lbs
