Just wondering if anyone has used or seen a set. I came across them a few days ago while on their site trying to get a center cap from some older wheels. I really like the design, I just don't guess I've ever noticed them before...

These are the ones I really dig.

Sorry if this has been posted. I tried a search but didn't see anything.

There was a set at my local tire shop I saw. Really sweet looking wheels. But the price is killer and I think they are limited to what size they are producing right now. Think he said they are only doing 22x12 and 22x14 right now, nothing larger or smaller.

They all look the same to me

Fuels, forces, specialty, kmc

All just copy cats


Isn't it good to have competition?

Also, there's only so many ways to cut a wheel, right? I mean, they are all round. If there are 10 companies making the same product, aren't some of them bound to look the same?

I understand what you mean. They all have a flat lip and a flat face cut into some pattern. I don't understand why they can't put some detail and depth into the design like Weld did in the 2000's. I mean look at the Cheyenne, Commado and Dagger design, the spokes had more depth and detail not just a flat lip and flat maybe beveled face. But then again if AF or Specialty made a 18x12 I would probably have a set.

The specialtys do have a bit more detail to them than the AF. That's one of the same complaints I've had about the AF for a while.

Yesss, and 17x12, the one thing I wish wheel manufacturers did would be something other than flat faced spokes.

Weld is the original sooo.........

If you're comparing a specialty forged to an American force I seriously doubt you've seen both out of the box.

I was just browsing their website and I stand corrected. They will make me a 18x12 wheel. But they would probably still try to clear coat it.

Nah...they'll do whatever you want. The problem is paying for them. LOL
