i'm pretty sure no one that uses forgestar's for their track events refers to them as "sad" lol. i think they're known as a pretty good wheel, fairly durable and "relatively" light and an incredible bang for the buck, and even track worthy. tons of guys run f'stars, which i'm sure you know. they are certainly not in the class of a champion hre or a fikse whatever.. but good enough, and they take a lot of abuse. this i know.

 

how do you feel about hre wheels? they have a flow formed line that looks almost identical to the forgestars but cost twice as much. does the hre brand also remind you of an electric turbo?

 

Lol i was thinking the samething.

 

sorta like hydrodipping carbon fiber on cast wheels right?

 

...on 20's, no less

 

People need to be happy with what they bought. Don't try to justify your $3,4,5,6000 set of wheels because people are just as happy with ones that cost $1200. Some of the lightest wheels are also the most fragile and wheel companies are a dime a dozen, popping up all over the place. Search cracked Fikse and see what you come up with (A LOT). I wouldn't spend that money on wheels that crack so much.

At the end of the day, do your homework, and buy some wheels. Take care of your wheels and they will take care of you.

 

great car you got

 

I love my RS98's and I got them for $2500 on craigslist. I don't remember by how much, but I weighed them and they were lighter than the factory hollow spoke wheels too!

 

those are some nice lookin wheels. ya don't see those every day. nice pic. it must still rain in norcal.

 

I ended up getting some forgelines. Smoking deal.

Anyway champions are for sale.

 

Take a look at HRE. They are made in the USA at their own factory. No subcontracting out. If you tour their factory once, you will buy their wheels.

 

And they still crack tons of issues with them on this board.
