Being the wheel whore that I am, I'm going with Forgeline. @kitkat tell me I'm wrong.

Some new wheels came in, I really need to sell some of my used wheels, I’m running out of space and I have another set of track wheels planned after this.

Being the wheel whore that I am, I'm going with Forgeline. @kitkat tell me I'm wrong.

That’s what they’re based on — Forgeline GS1R — but they’re actually from RA Forged in China.

I had them design a version of the wheel with a balance of concavity and lug pocket depth in the rear and a flat face up front with a lug pocket maximized up front all to clear brakes. They nailed it and gave me 4-5 mm clearance to the brake edge as indicated in my diagram.

6061-T6, came out to a 15.92 lbs reduction over stock wheels.

Price was around $1500 DDP (delivery duties paid) plus shipping costs ($250 sea or $650 air).

I’ll be working on some magnesium 18” track wheels next.
