Forgeline Carbon and Forged Wheels

[VoodooBoss]

These look interesting but are a bit pricey. For the price I'd rather have the full carbon 19" wheels from the GT350R or the 20" from the GT500 Carbon Fiber Track Package. I also wonder if they are as stiff as the full carbon wheels?

Woof. That price is insane$4.3-5K per wheel. Ouch.

Interesting that they got the weights below the smaller GT350R CF wheels. Anyone have numbers on the new Gt500 wheel weight? That's a 20 in, right?

No.

Yes

 

[Grant 302]

Probably.

 

[VoodooBoss]

No. If I’m spending that much I’m going all CF.

If I am spending that much, CF and Kevlar.

CF for the car, Kevlar for me. My wife would kill me. And yes, I taught her how to shoot.

For 16K for four wheels, I'd shoot myself.

This line from the Forgeline website page for these rims pretty much says it all: "Intended for Street Use. Not Recommended for Track Applications."

I could buy four wheels and brag about my sweet wheels and still be slow...or I could spend $16k on seat time with professional instructors and probably be faster in my POS than the guy that spent $16k on sweet rims...

I'd still be slow, but at least I'd be faster than that guy.
