I was blown away by the quality - easily as good as HRE.
Those VS Forged are a smoking deal. Doing some searches and they're around 20lbs per wheel too. I dont even need new wheels but thinking about ordering a set for my daily.
Gonna need some carbon ceramics if you want to rock those lol
Haha, or wax the shyt out of them to make them easy to clean The P41(HRE), pictured, also suffers from being a pain in the **** to clean. I don't know why I don't ever wax these.....

ceramic coat them - works MUCH better and lasts longer.
Is that something I can 'do myself'? What would you recommend product wise? Danke!
There are a bunch of choices out there - Adams polish has a great 'off the shelf' that is single stage and you can reveal streaks and overlaps in your applications with a black light. I have access to CeramicPro which is dealer only accessible and a gold standard product.
The trick is patience and being thorough. If you leave a streak, consider it permanent without a great deal of intervention. Once its on though, brake dust will be much easier to remove and you will get longevity out of your finish - I have a set of gloss black wheels on my SUV and while they re a year old i have zero scratches from micro abrasions via brake dust and road grime.

The Klassen ID wheels are a great value for the quality. They know their applications and they machine and finish their wheels all in house.
HRE and Vossen are also nice options.
I have a 2018 GT convertible base. Looking for wheels with lip or convexity to replace the originals. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Are you interested in a concave wheel or a convex wheel? I've included photos of each below so that you can confirm for us. Top is concave and bottom is convex.
We have many different wheel options for you. If you want a wheel with a lip it'll be a 3-piece or 2-piece wheel configuration. If you want a wheel that is concave it'll be a 1-piece wheel configuration. If you want a blend of concave with a lip we can also do this using a 2 or 3-piece wheel. Feel free to email me directly if you'd like to chat more in depth - David@WheelsBoutique.com
I agree, I don't know why HRE got so bloody expensive! Their printed wheels haven't even come out yet because they know 3 people might buy them.
If you think HRE is expensive you should look at the pricing for Anrky Wheels (a division of HRE). They are in the $15k range. You will occasionally have a demo set but that will even run upwards of $8K to $10K if you are lucky enough to find that kind of needle in a haystack fit. I think there is someone here with a Green GTR that earlier this year grabbed a set from Wheels Boutique that had been advertised on Ebay for some time.
I get that there is design work and intricate lathe work etc, but ALL of these forged wheels start out as the same aluminum blank, so cost swings from $3K to $15K are largely a giant flex and cash grab. HRE and Anrky are incredibly well made and the finishes are really quite flawless but no one could tell me with a straight face that justifies costs upwards of 300% (or more!) as compared to the alternatives.
To me if feels a little like the wine industry where you get much past $20 bucks for decent wine and you're just donating to a brand.
Surprised no one has mentioned BC Forged. They will build a set to your exact specs - down to hardware and valve stems. $4-6k and you have a fully custom one off set of wheels 🤷🏽♂️

I did visit the site and didn't see any prices, guess that means "if you have to ask..." But I wasn't blown away by the wheel styles either Just seemed like average, like everyone else's wheel designs.
I do wonder whatever happened to that insane design they had that was named the 3D wheel though......guess it was to expensive??
If you are looking for custom made wheels, I am a dealer for MV Forged Wheels, BC Forged Wheels and Brixton Forged Wheels. I have in my personal car a set of 3 piece MV Forged.
If you or anybody else is interested shoot me a message to help you guys out.

Anrky is not a division of HRE Skilly they just manufacture the wheels for Anrky. However the owner of Anrky is a former employee of HRE. I was with them in the launch of the brand back at SEMA 2018 but the cost per wheel is way up there. Thats the only brand that hasn't sold in my dealer territory.
