Have you seen the new Specialty Forged line that is starting to be advertised? I think I've only seen them show a pic of one set cut, so they're as rare as it gets right now. They certainly seem to be generating a lot of interest though. I think your buddy Nick just got his Forces from one of the guys with Specialty if I'm remembering his IG post correctly.

Perhaps the Fuel forged line? Forgiatos? Just throwing ideas out there to you.

It's tough to find something not on every corner these days, everyone and their mothers have Forces so I can understand why you would want something different.

You name it I've talked to em. Specialty Forged, JR Forged, Amani Forged, Intro, Forgiato, Fuel Forged, you name it.
They just cut their first set this week, I've been talking to Carlos (the owner) about a set, but his forgings for 16 wides won't be ready until March so I've got a little while still. And correct, Nick bought the Jades from Carlos' truck, he's cutting himself some wheels.

I spoke with Fuel Forged and was actually about to pull the trigger, but the rep couldn't tell me what the offset and lip size was.. then he said it was about 8" he estimated, and I said no way, that leaves a 7.5-8" backspace.... so if i can get the actual lip size on the Fuel Forged that's another option.

Forgiato wants too much for their ****.

Amani Forged can't do polished barrels, and the wheels aren't aluminum.

American Force wants entirely too much for their 24x16, and their the exact same lip and offset as their 24x14, the backspace is just increased.

JR Forged can't cut big enough for what I want.

Intro....well they're just wasting time, I can't get a solid response from em.

Cool deal. When's the performance mods coming?

ANY performance mods on this truck will be the very absolute last thing.. I have no use/desire for them really. It's got a 5" turbo back exhaust, blue spring update, and a SCT Livewire with tunes.. that's enough for me for now honestly

I'd like to do a bigger turbo, injectors, and stud it before it's all said and done
