First rule of thumb when buying wheels:

Question why the pics of the wheels and tires are soaking wet. Typically they are hiding scratches or dry rot

I like the bronze wheel option with your green wrap. Also like the idea of matching green calipers with bronze lettering. One other idea - Can you repaint the calipers close to the Anthracite color? I think that would be better than green and look nice behind the bronze wheels. Your car is sharp no matter which way you go. Keep us posted.

You Wheel Shoppers need to get educated about KRNCForged.com
Carlos is the USA rep and his service/communication was very good with with me

FORGED Wheels are made in Shanghai, China

They will make any wheel you can send them a picture of
Any Color, Any Finish, Any Polish

I have a set being mfg currently and they are being shipped to my
door in WA State for no extra $$$...part of the deal.......

My Black Friday pricing was lower than any other FORGED Wheel
youve ever read about..........

I def have decided Bronze is the move, going to call St. Paul Speed this week and get a quote on the BC Forged option. I'm thinking ill take my own advice and buy once cry once. Now I just gotta get this motorcycle sold to help fund that poor decision lol. I'll keep you guys updated. Hope to have something on it ready to roll by spring.

While I appreciate the advice, I don't really love what I see on their website. I'll stick to brands I know.

this is another example that most places have the same **** made in the same factory with diff center caps and price.
There are only so many factories that male blanks, or even cut wheels

Perfect example is Chet with Aerolarri. He is a guy that went direct to China and passed the deals along to people. I am sure KC uses the same place.
BC and Signature are made in the same factory. I am sure plenty more do the same.
I know HRE makes in house. Not sure if anyone else really does. Strasse says they do, unsure about Weld/CCW

Oh yeah, no doubt on that, I'm sure their all coming from the same factories but as far as knowing a brand will stand behind something if it goes wrong, I tend to stick to the more well-known ones. Vette-Lights is a perfect example. He stands behind the stuff he puts out and replaces it if there's an issue.
