PM or email me for info, this is a new company coming up and no 3 piece company can match their pricing. Almost any finish for the centers are included in their pricing. THis is Nicks car by the way, and he is somewhere on this forum.

Z1804 09-15-2010 03:06 PM

That looks awesome!!! Now I have an idea of what my car is going to look like with the Work T1S. Almost the same specs. Running the same brand of tires and sizes.

Great Job!

Chris_1 09-15-2010 03:10 PM

Yeah the car truly came out gorgeous. He calls me all the time just to tell me, that in Australia his car has attracted so much attention its crazy. He says people are in love with it, and the lip is just crazy. 1" more and were in lambo territory haha.

Jeffblue 09-15-2010 03:41 PM

his setup came out real nice, Must see more pics!

I have more pics, just gotta find time to post them. Dont worry Jeff, yours are on the way. OH yes guys, jeffblue has forged specialties Mesh on the way as he wasnt happy with his original offsets and he wanted more aggressive, Gotta love Jeffs Style.

Z1804 09-15-2010 03:46 PM

Aggressive is the way to go. Yes, more pics would be nice.

Well Jeff knows that after all the discussion, Forged Specialties was the only company that would do everything for him in the price range he wanted. To bad you ordered somewhere else.:happydance::happydance: I kid, I am sure your setup will look good without a doubt.

My wheels were already ordered when I saw your thread about the Forged Specialties. Can you PM me the price of the FS in 20x9.5 15mm and 20x11 10mm? It's always good to get new shoes after you've had some for a while. I may have a buddy that's interested too.

Yes, more quality pics please.

the_student 09-15-2010 05:14 PM

Does Forged Specialties have a website? Id like to take a look at their wheel lineup.

Chris_1 09-15-2010 05:19 PM

I wouldve thought 5 pics was enough, but I figured you guys would love this car. It truly is gorgeous, I am waiting for the owner to come on. HOpefully you guys can bother him to do a pro shoot, b/c this car deserves it.

370zee 09-15-2010 07:08 PM

Hey fellas..
thanks for the feedback.. i am trying to find some time to organise a proper photo shoot (i dont know if its the camera or if 10megapixel just doesn't cut it) but the photos have come out real grainy - as if they're taken from a camera phone..
the diffuser is from Fujimura - really happy with it.. seemed like the evo-r had fitment problems - this was perfect fit.
the camber arms are spc..

the only thing im torn on now is that i've put a deposit on the F.I exhaust, but it is going to be way too low.. so i'm seeing if tony can modify it in anyway to get some more ground clearance without effecting the end product.. almost contemplating just getting hfc's and no cat back.. lets face it - the majority of the power is from the HFCS and the sound... well... the injen cai's give it good sound but i know that doesnt compare to an exhaust.. =(

370Z JT 09-15-2010 08:24 PM

Wheels look good! I just hope they will make a step lip an option in the future.

They havent officially launched yet, they will be launching the end of September actually. They have just let us sell to a few customers looking for a certain price point, but for the same quality. Honestly its about time, someone brought a 3 piece forged wheel to the market and didnt charge $4k for them.

They are planning it for a specific lightweight competition line, but thats all I have heard of it. They are more focused on getting out their, and customer service has been the best I have seen out of a company in 4 years. They actually pick up their phones haha.

Wait till you see whats coming, they are bring 3 piece super concave wheels for reasonable pricing, finally someone took the hint that $6k wheels are just ridiculous. If you guys are seriously interested in purchasing wheels, let me know and I can show you the wheels.

Jamaica 09-15-2010 11:21 PM

what kinda pricing?

Waqar 09-15-2010 11:21 PM

I have seen the car in flesh and have met 370zee, the car looks sensational in person.

If I hadn't gotten my Advans I would have ordered from Chris too

Red__Zed 09-16-2010 11:49 AM

Those are hot. Holy lip batman!

Chris--can you shoot me a rough idea on what those guys are going for?

Chris_1 09-16-2010 04:04 PM

Haha, I know Forged Specialties is AWESOME. These guys tell me one thing and bam, they do better. I will hint this for everyone, but in about 2 months I just want everyone to look out for these words being formed into wheels: SUPER and CONCAVE and 6.5" LIP!!!!!! OH DEAR.

Dan, I will pm you now. I assume the same sizes and all?

lemansz20 09-17-2010 11:08 AM

OH man OH man. If being poor was not in my situation, I would be rocking these wheels. That lip is insane, and holy heck someone is actually gonna have a 6.5" lip? Man I gotta see that.

Chris_1 09-17-2010 11:12 AM

Some more pics he sent me:

two tone wheels FTW :)

http://www.the370z.com/members/jeffb...3-dsc-0560.jpg

but you can get forged specialties in brushed aluminum or lots of other colors too. something for everyone.

370Z JT 09-17-2010 11:00 PM

I want Jeffblue's rims but with a step lip. Will eagerly await for it.

Chris_1 09-17-2010 11:15 PM

Not going to happen for a while JT, they told me plans for a step lip are just not in the cards right now. From what I understand the primary focus is to deliver a clean product, and a quality product for much much more competitive pricing. I am sure it will eventually come, but they are just not doing it for now.

Flat lips are the new step lip.:tup:

step lip is the way to go.

Will see about that, WAIT, i am going to talk to our newest member of the Forged Specialties club, and I can tell you a teaser will completely make you throw away wanting a step lip. I will just say this, .................................................. .................................................. ............................................








concave

KTown_Stomper 09-18-2010 01:24 PM

Chris_1 09-18-2010 03:15 PM

PM is being sent now.

370Z JT 09-19-2010 07:25 PM

:iagree: I'm in if it is!!

Chris_1 09-19-2010 09:27 PM

Oh guys lol, you will all be in for a treat. Its not that design, but though I am not supposed to say, let me just tell you a mesh is one the way for concave. A member on here already ordered, and I can only tell you it will be THE craziest setup for wheels on a Z for a LONG time.

I can see your all excited, so I PROMISE I will have a teaser pic of the first concave wheel from them tomm. I will start a new thread, if the guy that ordered doesnt want to himself.

Stanced370Z 09-19-2010 09:38 PM

lol I'm the one that ordered the wheels from Chris. I'll be running the mesh concaves with a 4" lip up front and 5.5" max concave in the rear / 6.5" lip in the rear. You're all in for a surprise. This is going to be the longest wait of my life. lol.

Btw, Chris is an upfront guy and awesome to deal with. I always bombard him with questions and always answers me. haha. thanks Chris!

370Zsteve 09-19-2010 09:43 PM

No more cell phone pics! lol
