Never use track mode as I only drive it for pleasure on the street. I'm aware of the MRC issue which virtually makes it hard riding and shock-less, especially with the run flats. Thanks for your suggestion though. Everybody has been very helpful and given good advice and pointers

I would do BC Forged, made in the same place as Signature and I have been quoted at $1k cheaper. If you want to spend more, Forgeline. If you want to spend most, HRE. Granted HRE's are great and look amazing, I do not think I could purchase some.

BC Forged would be number 1 for me.

PK Auto Design I think.

18x11/18x13’s in the same color but slightly different style:

Signature: $3500/$3800 I think plus shipping (erased messages, sorry for not remembering exact numbers).

BC Forged: $2800 plus shipping.

So Cal for all I know, a ton of people have told me that they are made in the same place. To me why would one pay $1k more for wheels that look close to the same and come in the same colors?

Edit: I just saw where the only comments that say different are that they are both made in Taiwan in separate factories owned by BC Forged? You are the wheel people, enlighten us.

I just confirmed that they are both made in the same facility in Taiwan (Republic of China).

Ah ok, cool. Then I wonder why Signature is way more expensive (relatively speaking).

Taiwan, where 90% of the world’s best quality forged blanks comes from. Super Alloy is the workd’s biggest supplier on highest quality forging. Guess who are supplying “American Made” wheels. Please don’t get so hung up on where my wheels are made, from another competing vendor too.

300 sets sold alone in for Vettes in 2 years all with positive feedbacks, plenty tracked big time with slicks. Ford Performance Racing School even ordered 5 sets for the school, with more orders possibly.

Im not sure what you are insinuating but Taiwan is a first world country with cost of living similar to of the big cities in the US. All of my wheels are JWL and VIA tested.

Forgeline only uses American made forgings from APP ( Aluminum Precision Products) An Aerospace forging house in California...HRE as well... Just FYI

Correct, never a debate on this.

Majority of other companies aren’t.

And I'm not sure what part of my factual sentence led you to believe that I was insinuating anything. No need to get defensive about where your wheels are made

You or your account attacked Signature out right in other big name sport car forums. I’m glad this forum’s rule is much better. You aren’t suppose to comment competing vendors. Keep the business clean.

I’ll just let my spotless reputation and perfect customer service do my selling for me.

Then that does help as I did not know that. I did not mean to bash Signature, all of your customers have been more than happy with their purchase. I think it is odd no one pushes BC as they do Signature though, as they are pretty much the same and BC is still a little cheaper.

I think the Taiwan statement was only factual. Your last sentence is not wrong lol, nothing but good things have been said of you.

Also, what is the grade difference between the American aluminum forgings (HRE/Forgeline) and the Taiwan aluminum forgings (BC/Signature)? I highly doubt much I would think.

It is but it does get tiresome from other forum posts. The same spillage of “beware of made in China” and “beware of made in Taiwan” gets old after a while.

He came in this thread acting like he doesn’t know it already. I don’t hide the fact that my wheels are proudly made in Taiwan. Excellent service and 30 days turn around is hard to beat.

Many has to resort to this tactic to get some extra sells. Just let the product speaks you know.

Ahhh ok, I understand now. The china bit lol. The product has definitely spoken, there are way more Signature/BC Forged wheels going around nowadays than HRE from what I have seen.
