If you want something different, agressive and with a huge lip check out Phantom Forged wheels. Now I have no idea how much they cost because I can't get them to reply to my emails but they sure are nice.

I'm currently being sponsored by these guys and they are a vendor on ClubLexus. Check out my boy Tong for details. They make excellent 3 piece wheels

The issue occured over two years ago but I know how long it takes to get your rep back so I undertstand. However, I know several who have these wheels including one that recently purchased a set and they are a nice wheel.

The only reason also I'm not using vossen wheels is because they aren't forged wheels and weight can be compromised I looking for strong light I really like to save money to but I'm thinking if you do something do it right the first time

Has anyone used iss forged wheels what's your opinion on that company they seem to be a bit cheaper than 360 forged

I think more so than wanting a 3-piece wheel, you should specify what style wheel you're looking for. I.E. full-face, 5-spoke, 6-spoke, etc. I think that'll help people give you better suggestions as to what wheels to buy, instead of purchasing by brand name.

They arent cheap but they are reasonable and the company actually be around in the future, unlike many of the smaller " high end" 3pc wheel manufacturers who made crappy wheels for to much money and have disappeared . Just my 2 cents.


To the OP I hope you find a beautiful set. Good luck buddy
You see it alot because it's a budget rim, meaning price. Look, we've had these discussions before. The OP asked about 3-piece rims, so let's keep it on point. There are alot of 3 piece rims out there. I have Forgiatos with no problems.
