Forged wheels are expensive but you cant beat the high quality construction. After bending a couple of knock off brands because of potholes Ive been contemplating just dropping the cash on a good quality set of forged.

 

I'm running on 17" Centerline forged wheels and love them. Best wheels I've ever owned IMO.



Would I buy them again: Yes



Would I recommend them: Yes



Are they expensive: Yes



Save up and get some high quality forged rims. You wont be disappointed.



By the way, the reason I pursued forged wheels is because I also got sick of replacing bent rims.

 

I'll have forged wheels on this week, but really, get enough protection on the wheel and it shouldn't bend regardless of quality. Non-forged wheels usually crack, forged wheels bend instead of break. Alabama roads aren't that bad, nothing compared to the northeast like NJ.

 

I am running SSR GT7H 18X9 ET35 on my 03 Tiburon. Its a hybrid rim, semi forged faces with welded barrels. They weight around 18-20lbs. You can tell the difference when driving a car with light weight rims.
