Forgeline ZX3R's - 18x9.5 on 929's EB Evo
 

Just got my completely custom setup installed this past weekend. Brand new custom Forgeline ZX3R's in a custom bronze color I picked out with custom offsets thanks to Forgeline and broeli here on the forums! I spent a ton of time researching options for 9.5" or 10" rims for the VIII-IX and it's tough and limited. So many require staggered offsets or huge amounts of fender rolling/cutting/pulling, relocation of tabs, huge spacers, etc.

These are crazy light and super strong 3-piece custom wheels. For a completely custom setup, they cost about the same as some JDM wheels that people have to wait months for! Check them out: Forgeline

Actual specs are 18x9.5" +33 - currently wearing 245 Hoosiers. Same offsets all around so I can rotate as needed for optimal tire wear. Rear fenders are rolled even to prep for wider tires...

Forgeline had not actually made a bronze before so I figured it was high time to do it! David @ Forgeline sent me some samples and I chose the color. Here's how they turned out. With the flakes they have, they look really different in direct light/sunlight vs indirect - the 2nd and 3rd pics show that.

Edit: Forgeline told me they weigh 20lbs.

True. But after this happened to me last october, I vowed to get away from cast rims and convert to all forged rims.

My bad, I left that out. Just added it: +33. Had zero issues of rubbing at the track this weekend.

Damn! Looks great brotha!
I dig Forgeline! :thumbup::thumbup:

Very nice{thumbup}

look raelly nce

WHEELS LOOK GREAT! theres nothing wrong with cast wheels... ive seen forged wheels crack too... just depends on circumstances... but if you can afford them, forged is the way to go!! light light light!!!

Wow, Déjà vu! I think I've seen the ZX3s on an EBP Evo IX before. ;) Looks nice.{thumbup}

Holy cow!!! That is awesome!

I dug up your pics awhile back; very nice looking ride!

Did you have the ZX3's on it or the ZX3R's? What size and offset?

Fo Sure.
Enkei and Advan both make good rims. But a lot of their track-worthy options require large spacers or don't come in a good 9.5-10" wide option that I wanted.

They are ZX3Rs not sure about the offset but they are 18x9.5 as well.

How light is crazy light?

Volk RE30 light? Dymag light? :)

I didn't get a chance to weigh them. I've got an email into Forgeline to find out the actual weight. I'll post that up when I find it out.

An additional lightweight option they have is Lightweight Hardware Option -Includes Titanium Bolts and Jetnuts (per wheel).
