Reputable forged wheels?

The BC Forged stuff looks very good. Pricing is in your budget too.

Hit up [MENTION=27078]Paul@PKAUTODESIGN[/MENTION]. He is very knowledgeable on the best offsets, sizing etc for the platform including GT350s.

The BC Forged wheels look good in the photos. Thank you for mentioning them, seems like I need to PM Paul about recommendations.

I've been seriously thinking about this same question as well. When I've got my mod budget back up to capacity, I'm going to get either the Forgeline VX1R or HRE P104s. I'm not going to mess around this time and I am going to go with one of the best brands in the business.

No offense to BC Forged or other brands, but I haven't been able to find out a lot about them and how they hold up on the track. With either Forgeline or HRE there seems to be a lot less questions about their products holding up under the abuse or their reputations.

Man the forgeline and HRE are sexy AF...but i don't have the wallet for em, maybe one day.

I like the 6GRs, both models, but i really just want to buy from Paul if/when i do. He's THAT helpful. Fella on facebook has some BC forged on his shadow black and it appears he abuses the shit out of em...as a plus, they also look ridiculously awesome

What offset is Mustang please?
And what width fits?

I have numerous Enkei PF01's in +38 x 10.5" 18" that I might try to fit to my 18 when it arrives....Not Forged but light. Under 20lbs

I hear yah, you pay for the reputation that's for sure with the main two.

To be very clear, I'm not saying anything bad about BC Forged or any other manufacturer. It is just my personal opinion from doing my own research etc. Also, I've never heard anything bad about BC Forged, it's just that I haven't heard really anything about them and how they hold up over the long term. They do look awesome, I love the RZ01s and RZ05s.

Minn - I think your points are spot on. When people are investing thousands of dollars into wheels they want to be sure it's a reputable company, that their wheels have been to tracks and not just SEMA photoshoots.

Before I could invest any money into BC Forged I would need to know a lot more about where they're produced, who's running them on the track, how well these finishes hold up, warranties, etc. I think a lot more transparency about pricing would also be welcome. And finally, of course, I need to see them with Michelin tires fitments on these cars...actual photos.

From what I found out, I believe BC Forged is made in Taiwan and they are JWL and VIA double certified (according to their website and others). The only complaints I found was issues with the finishes. But, I couldn't really find anybody that has tracked them for any amount of time.

I wish I had the wallet. If it makes anyone feel any better, IMSA cars use Forgeline wheels. All of their open lug wheels are basically the same spec as the race cars, usually over 2000lbs load rating PER wheel.

18" will not fit on a GT350, unless you go with smaller rotors/calipers.

The BC's are indeed made in Taiwan, to some degree accounting for being more affordable. There are other wheels of somewhat unknown long term durability as well. Project 6GR wheels look to be a new player and with no known long term history. I can't argue that the decades long reputation of Forgeline or HRE is comforting. The cost of these premium wheels is just well beyond the limits for me and possibly many others here on this forum. For myself, I'd have a tough time spending more than 10% of the cost of the car on just rims, but we all have our own sense of what is worth it or not. It's especially true for me since I do not intend to run my car on the track. All that said, I've not yet heard anything bad about BC and if asked Paul from PKAuto will give them a glowing recommendation. But when taken on their own merits I am planning on buying a set. Compared to wheels of similar cost that are not even forged they seem like a very reasonable choice.

Stock wheels are 30 pounds which is absolutely absurd for a car like this. Looking for Forgestar or similar quality wheels that are 20 or so pounds. Not interested in eBay wheels or no-name brands.

Anyone had any luck finding wheels such as this? Surprised this forum is this quiet on this topic.

I can definitely help you out and answer all the questions for you. Shot you a pm.

The Forgelines are beautiful. I'm shopping for something like what the OP is talking about but just not at $6500/set. Been looking real hard at BC Forged. They have monoblock forged wheels for less than half the price in the lower 20# range. The 6GR's could maybe fit the bill too, I just don't care for them.

BC wheels are awesome bang for the buck monoblock option.

It all depends on the fitment you want to go wit. Issue is our front brakes are so large that the 18" barrels that are out in the market do not clear the caliper, I have tried with a 3d printed brake and barrel template on my own GT350. However for the rear it does work for those wanting to go straightline.

Signature wheels all damn day
