Hey Paul, is there any update on the load rating? How should these compare in strength/durability to a CCW forged wheel? How about relative to the the APEX wheels a lot of BMW guys run?

Perfect, i am interested in the VS02 or VS08. Thanks!
We can make either or of them work for you brotha, we have a set of VS02 coming in ( first GT350 set) we also have some VS08s in varying sizes for a few S550's in production theyll be arriving shortly.

We demand pictures as soon as they are on.
We shall present images with weights and all once they arrive.

Hope this includes my vs08's! Maybe I'll be the next shipment

Load index I checked up recently for a new Zl1 fitment I was doing coming in at 700 kg which is 1553.86 lbs per corner, strength these are fully forged 6061-T6 so their really solid. We have a few sets out on the streets on some high power cars solid feedback to date currently.

At 1553.86 lbs and the GT350 @ ~950 lbs/per corner, sound fine for street tires with wear ratings of 100-200 (equal to 1 g-force applied), but it sounds too low if you someone uses racing slicks with 1.5 g-force applied. This is a rough guess on my part, someone with greater knowledge of the math involved can chime in.

I have a few VS Forged clients that are using the wheels on and off the track with no issues.

The first GT350 set is coming in this week, as for images, well here is the first S550 I did back in the days for a member here.

Has anyone actually hit 1.5gs with a 350 or an R with slicks?
I believe one of my members did on a set of wheels and hoosiers if memory serves me right.

Paul, thanks again for taking care of my car last weekend with a new set of tires. That tire machine should be the only thing allowed to touch a carbon rim. Great customer service!
