Re: Opinion on these Forged wheels?

I'm not digging the red on there. It's a clean looking wheel though.

Lastly....they run in 20x10 and 20x8.5....is an 8.5" wide wheel in front too wide? I don't think a 245/35/20 would fit properly on there? Any thoughts?

I like the last rim the best. A 245 width tire works great on a 8.5 inch wheel--that's the ideal.

Re: Opinion on these Forged wheels?

They are actually relatively cheap....

They are made by BONSPEED....They are solid billet wheels...

I found them for $2040 a set (2-20x8.5 and 2-20x10) shipped! That is pretty damn cheap...

If you go to www.streetsourcemag.com you'll find them...or just click on this link...

Hope this helps!!

Relatively cheap!!!! They're $510 a piece. I guess it is all relative to whose buying. My relatively cheap is $300 a piece. They look nice though, but I don't think I could wait 5 weeks for them.

Compare that to IForged, the same type of built wheel... $2500+ a set plus shipping.... Then you have these for $2040 shipped....big difference... I couldn't fathom putting a $300 20" wheel on a $40K car....just my $.02

Re: Opinion on these Forged wheels?

billit wheels are manufactured by a CNC machine which is used to cutout a wheel from a solid block of aluminum. Where as forged wheels are made by using a press to apply high pressure to shape the wheel, thus giving a more dense and hence stronger wheel, the forging process also allows maufactures to make smaller spokes because of the increased strength provided. If they are solid billet then they are not forged, which might be why they are relatively inexpensive.

Thanks for the tip, I sell Billet wheels all day long...

I know the difference between the two, maybe didn't portray it properly....
