Hey IForged, I'm pretty impressed by your wheels. I do have a question. Wheels in general tend to get curbed, scratched, oxidized, etc. I understand your wheels get clear coated (I imagine the polished ones don't), so if I accidentally mar a wheel, how expensive is it to repair? These multi-piece wheels look awfully expensive to take apart and repair. And what about the polished ones? Can you polish them without taking the wheel apart, and what's the cost?

I guess what I am asking is, do you have a better pic of the RS Aero that is better than the one on your site

You can do that wheel in a 2 piece instead of three piece and we just put rivets in it, but it won't be function just for show. The pricing for the RS series with bolts

19" with bolts
$550 each for the 19*8
$599 each for the 19*10 [4" lip in the rear"]


18" with bolts
$500 for 18*8
$550 for 18*10[4"lip in the rear"]

remember brushed aluminum finish is an extra $50 dollars per wheel, but in the groupbuy the finish is included in the price.

The only bad thing about the two piece is we only have 8 and 10" barrels, but we can still make the offset fit the car fenders nicely and give you a 4" LIP. Some people do want 8.5 and 10, but if you want looks and quality at a lower price then the RS series with bolts is a great bargain all around

WOW, I think I may have found a great wheel!!!

I have NO problems with the 8" front, BUT is a 10" in the rear a bit wide???? (I was planning on going 9.5", so I guess 10" isn't much different)????

is a 4" lip a bit much, or is that what the 9.5" come with too??

I like the deep dish look, I just don't want to go too deep (any pics of the 4" lip on the Z, in any style)

Sorry to keep bugging you

btw, you got mail

ya, I would LOVE to see them without the rivets just to get an idea of the look difference (I typically don't like them either)

in real life, does the FS-aero and RS-aero have the SAME shape spoke and SHAPE around the lug wholes, in the pics on the website, they look DRAMATICALLY different (the RS looks much cheaper).????

Rod, i think its simply because all of the RS series are painted gunmetal, while all the pics of the FS series are polished.

BTW iFORGED, this i never got: why are my wheels called the FS-6, when they belong to the RS series?

Brad your wheels do not have the rivets , just like the new HRE 840 series. Long story about being called the FS6 since before we did not have a 3 piece line. The FS6 will be changed into the Flux and both lines will share the same styles but just be different in construction. We just started doing the 2 piece with bolts and that why the price is more for them then the regular prices in the RS series.

In real life the aero of the rs series and fs series are exactly the same. The picture on the website is the old aero. We have new pictures and a new catalog coming out soon.
