the New 20" Fort AC40 wheels

20x8.5 et32 and 20x10 et42

The first sets that have come in are a gunmetal accent with a machined face. We will have a few more pictures of the wheels later this wheel, as they have a nice concavity to them.



Let me know what your thoughts are....

Looking to give a partial sponsorship on two sets of these wheels to get some photo's for everyone to see. Let me know...

Never heard of this brand, are they forged or cast? They seem to look like the HRE monoblock series, I wish the spokes were more angled instead of coming in right at the center.

Either way, waiting for more pics

My apologizes for the lack of information given, I was in a bit of a rush when I posted the wheels.

they are cast wheels, and will have a intro price of $1499 except for the two customers who are willing to offer some photos!

James,

I'd be willing to put them on for some show photos.

I also sent you guys an email about 2 weeks ago for an ELM...

I think that finish would look great on a silver or techtite car.

James let me know if you're interested in hooking me up, and it just so happens that I have a ridiculously good photographer in my neck of the woods MPRESIV does incredible work...

We still have not gotten any photos back yet from those that we shipped these wheels to, so I will offer one last deal to someone who is willing to take some on the car photos.

$1200 for the wheels, and $2000 with tires!!! Lets get some PHOTOS!
