-Grand Tuningwerks- New Arrival! **DCR Forged Wheel GT Series**

Hello Guys,

We would like to introduce, the GT Series forged wheels by DCR Forged. These forged wheels are one of the best I've ever seen in the market along with attractive price. Please Email me for special introductory price and fitment (19", 20", 22") enjoy~

Manufacturing Process:

Design

DCR Forged utilizes in house design capabilities to generate concept to engineered products. Utilizing sophisticated design software, concepts are refined and technical aspects such as caliper clearance, offset, hub centricity and overall fitment are taken into consideration. The end result is a visually appealing and fitment specific application.

Materials

Only the finest forged materials are used in the construction of DCR wheels. Utilizing a 5000 ton press to reshape the ingot into the elementary shape required for machining ensures precise restructuring of molecular grain. This alignment of flow pattern provides extremely high strength to weight ratio, not achievable through low pressure or gravity cast techniques.

CNC Machining

Precise milling through specialized programming removes excess material that results in completion of first operations to aerospace grade tolerances. Additional machining precisely removes additional material to form the bolt circles, center bore and hub circle. This process utilizes precise indexing and programming that allows for low cycle times combined with continued repeatability.

Finish

Applied in a state-of-the art wet downdraft booth, each wheel is individually prepared, painted and inspected for coverage and consistency. DCR offers a variety of finishes including chrome, anodized and machined face.

Assembly

Final assembly is performed in house, utilizing aerospace grade fasteners and hand assembled to ensure perfection in each wheel. Every wheel is built with uncompromising passion for perfection through our combined efforts from engineering, design, manufacturing and marketing divisions.

Forging is the process of forcing a solid billet of aluminum between the forging dies under an extreme amount of pressure. This creates a finished product that is very dense, very strong and therefore can be very light. The costs of tooling, development, equipment, etc., make this type of wheel very exclusive and usually demand a high price in the aftermarket.---Tirerack.com

and then CNC machine is used to create the design you see on each wheels.

Those are retail price, they are similiar in pricing as DPE and Iforged, much cheaper retail price than HRE's. But I don't know one person that pays retail price for DPE, Iforged, and HRE's, if you do, you got more money then brains. It's a marketing strategy, makes one feel good about buying it under advertise price.

I ordered 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear hockenheims for my SLK, service has been exceptional, should be here anytime now. Light for that size, 25lbs and 27lbs respectively. Suppose to be on par with HRE's, only time will tell. But I'm glad to see more competition, it was getting boring deciding between DPE and iForged. HRE's are way over price for cosmetics in my opinion.

Correct me if I am wrong,

a set of 19, 20, 21 x 9.0s would be

9.0" $1,107.00 $1,230.00 $1,310.00

a bit confused on previous posts. Just trying to straighten everything out. Not sure but prices seem to be more than carlsson's per piece?

yes, you read correctly

if you are talking about the Carlsson 1/16 or 1/12 or 3/12 Ultra-Light, these retails for more than $1800 per wheel. 19x8.5 and up. But of course there's always discounts from us as well as the DCR.

How does the discount work? Does it depend on how many get into the group buy? Is it even a group buy? Or is it just discounted?

Very interested in getting some new shoes

Very interested in getting a set of nurburgrings. Just not sure if it would fit on an 03 c230 ss without any issues, i.e rubbing...

If it's not to much too ask for, would you be able to confirm which sizes can will fit. I like the lip a bit wider for the back.
