What do u guys think of these forged wheels

[bantoine2]

Thinking of getting these...let me know what you all think. Is there anything negative to getting forged wheels?

The wheels is at the bottom middle row called CANNES

[maxnix]

For your truck? The Cannes has 6 lugs.

Are the rivets real, or cosmetic? Perhaps only the center section is forged.

[bantoine2]

they have six and five lug..rivets are real

[bantoine2]

and they are going on my J

[j30t]

Dont get blingin rims like that...if youre gonna get some new wheels get some that arent so shiny...unless if thats what you really likejust my 2 cents

[greg_atlanta]

Who wants rims named after cities in France?

Do they come with a baguette rack?

[bantoine2]

they're actually Italian...but I'll take the baguette rack if it comes with them.

I don't know, but these look like a bad Harley Earl wet dream. They're just a little too fay.

I think the BBS look at lot more functional, well crafted and stronger. Aircraft specification allen bolts seem a better long term solution than rivets. What happens when the chrome falls off from the torsional stresses?

I guess I don't get the mirrored wheel craze.

Fay? Now there's a word I thought I'd never read on an automotive forum! An apt description, however.

You have to get something that compliments the flowing lines of the J but of your examples, you chose the best.

I think the correct spelling is "fey".

But far be it from me to know for sure - I'm a hairy, hetero redneck neanderthal basturd (with chrome wheels).

He ain't lying!!:D

Well, either whimsicallly elvish or apparently irrational, respectively; perhaps rococo or overwrought would have been a better word. Ever look at those Neeper rims? Ever see any on a race car? Didn't think so.

Unlike AZHitman's 1999 Q45 one piece cast rims, these don't jibe with reason, nor good design.

What do I know? Not much.

[AZhitman]

Thanks max (and Dees)!

[Eswift]

well, if you insist on 18 or 19 inch wheels, forged 2-piece is the way to go. i am sure they still represent a considerable gain of rotational inertia over the stock wheels. you effectively make your car 1 second worse in every performance aspect (0-60, 1/4 mile, 60-0 braking) with any rims of that magnitude.

Im actually going to go with this wheel

If it ain't baroque, don't fix it?

[Mayhem_J30]

i like the GF-1 and the Versailles

[diamondj30]

i think the sheen would work nice with black car.like the style but,im a fan of rivets going into tires to keep them in place when launching off the line.but then we dont have to worry about that.
