    If you have the coin, the best, lightest wheels are almost always pricey.

    With that in mind, Saleen uses Forgeline wheels on thier racecars.

    I also like

    HRE

    Fiske

    Kinesis.

    A true forged wheel will always be more money over a cast wheel which is what most of us are driving on every day. Goo luck in your search and let us know what you come up with.

    BBS also makes a few forged wheels that wont completely bust the bank. :D

    Yes, plan to spend some money on forged wheels. I am looking for 8.5 x 18 front and 9.5 x 18 rear wheels for the G35 right now. Everything that I like will run around $3,000 for rims and tires. I am not looking at HREs, Racing Hearts and the like either. Those are a lot more expensive.

    The BBS RKs look great on Mustangs. They are not a multi-piece rim but are forged I believe. There is also the RKII but I don’t know if they are available in the correct offset.
