My Forged Specialties Mesh Wheels

Chris_1 · 08-24-2010, 11:05 PM

Guys the wheels weight about 27lbs both front and rear. The reason is the back pad on the front wheel to clear the brakes and keep the wheel flat equals the weight of the rear. Its funny b/c i was confused when I put the wheels on the scale, b/c i thought I grabbed the same one twice.

By the way, WHATS UP Rali, I knew you couldnt keep away. I introduce to you guys my other customer Zach, ordered a set of forged specialties for his lancer and I have been telling him consistently to join the forum and see the wheels. He finally did it, and now he is jealous haha, Zach you are the man. Jeff I told you people are jealous of you.

Very nice man!

You need to drop the Z STAT! Thanks for sharing.

I agree with AK drop for the win, but I LOVE the style on the car. It truly looks great, and it gives the Z that racey style it deserves. I love that color, I found your old thread again and its crazy how different light hits it and looks different colors. I think when you drop it, its going to look insane with those tires. This company is definately on the right path with styles like this.

Great work Chris!

The X factor is built like a 23 if i remember correctly to JUST clear it. Typically though haha, we will be building for a little more room in the future with this company just in case someone wants to go bigger then the akebonos.

Edit: My mistake thats the front, which I am pretty sure is 50 on the x factor, and this one was built the same.

yea that is the front. that massive caliper required a HUGE back pad to clear the brake
