BC Forged Wheels Purchased
 
I've been looking for a set of wheels for the '90. The A-molds have always appealed to me, so I wanted something that paid homage to the clean 5 spoke design. After considering Fiske, Forgeline, CCW, and HRE I ultimately settled on BC Forged. Why them? Features for price was the main factor. Their wheels are manufactured in Taiwan which reduces production cost. I fully support made in America products, but I did have a budget to consider.

BC Forged wheels are 6061-T6 aluminum that are JWL & VIA double certified. Numerous finish options are at no extra charge as is customization of the pad profile & spoke concavity. The process began with an email inquiry to BC Forged. An employee by the name of Dan followed up and has been great to work with. Dan had worked with Matt from the "OffTheRanch" YouTube channel for his ZR-1 wheels, so he was familiar with fitment on the car. With that said, I was still sent a worksheet to measure caliper clearance on the front of the car. My wheel choice wasn't the same as the YouTuber's nor was the size.

After Dan confirmed my wheel choice & size would fit the car, a 2D profile image was sent to me. We had previously discussed pad profile, concavity, and offset and Dan nailed it on the first try. I wanted the pad profile to be even front-to-rear with a deep concave spoke in the rear.

I gave the go ahead 5 weeks ago. 1/2 the purchase price was charged at that time. Today I received the finished photos. I approved, the final 1/2 was charged, and the wheels will be shipped on Monday. These are the RT50 in brushed clearcoat finish. 17 x 9.5" in the front with 18 x11.5" in the rear. Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires will be mounted. OE size in the front and 335/30R18 in the rear. I will post follow-up details on wheel/tire weights once the wheels arrive.

Nice looking wheel. You made a smart choice buy NOT choosing HRE,what was once the finest wheel made is now just another wheel company. Check out HRE WILZ SUK on Facebook and yes,I'm still pissed!

I had seen some questionable situations with HRE recently. BC Forged has a good reputation so I was comfortable buying from them.

Once the wheels arrive I will post more pics along with wheel weights. It maybe a little while until I get them mounted on the car.
