Some people don't want to spend $4k+ on a set of wheels, and also want properly fitting wheels not the pokey pokey going on with the OEM front wheels.
And some people want wheels for things other than just looks.

So $270 per wheel ($1080 for 4) or $1200 for the set of 4 ($300 each)? Why is it cheaper per wheel than to buy the set of 4? Are they really charging $120 for the set of lug nuts??

You don't need to spend $4k on wheels to have durable and reasonably light track wheels. If you have to have the lightest wheel for competition use, you're already buying Forgelines.

These are LMR's new Performance Pack Level 2 wheel replicas and looks like they're 19x10 or 19x11 and Gloss Black, Gloss Graphite or Satin Bronze like their other wheel offerings. Weights are right around 24lbs.

Wheels look nice, but they are 32 lbs. Is that weight considered heavy for a wheel?

Where do you see 32 lbs? In my post I mentioned the 24 lbs which I got from their site...32 sounds in line with factory weights.

It was a misprint. I just refreshed the page. thanx for the heads up.

Been tracking my non forged wheels for years now with a 4000lbs car just fine, and are super duper light compared to most others in this size. All for 1/5th the price of them fancy forged wheels.

Some people want to buy economic wheels and not spend extra money just to impress others in parking lots and car shows.

Rock on dude. I'd still buy a forged (lightweight) replica in the factory sizes and offsets, but not these.

BTW, nice to know forged wheels are only for car shows and impressing others. :like:

I mean when a quality flow forged (not those cheap Chinese cast) wheel performs 90% like a forged wheel and costs 1/4th of the price they kinda are. Spending 4k plus on wheels you're either a baller true racer (not just hpde guys) or a hard parker who just wants to brag they have "forged" wheels.

So I guess by your standards, we should all be driving yugos, because only 'baller true racer' types need more performance than that, and anything in excess of that is just for show?

I'm hoping someone picks these up and can upload some good shots of them on the car, along with what tires they went with. I like the look of these, but I also like the R350 as well. I noticed that the offset and backspace of the SP2 19x11 is the same as the R350, but the backspace of the SP2 19x10 is slightly different than the R350. I wonder how much difference this makes when it's on the car?

Are you just trolling? Because if no, you're dreadfully ignorant about many aspects of wheel manufacturing and quality.
