Who owns ISS Forged?

My opinion is the wheels are oversized. You could sell those to a lexus which is the same offset and get yourself 18's or the very best some 19's at least. They are a beautiful rim but not for the FD. Probably better off with a porsche.

20's wont last long in this town and you know it. You need some cushion for those rims.
Please tell me its for HIN then i somewhat understand. In the meantime get yourself some 18's for the track.

Photo shoots in parking lots are always a good idea.
Ever consider adding side skirts of some kind? Your car looks off with the rear diffuser and front bumper being lower then the side of the car.

so if you decide to not do the CCWs, check us out www.issforged.com
Honestly, the 20s don't look that bad. If it was my car, I would have probably slammed it on 19s.

yup they are 3 piece, each wheel is a custom made piece
and they are strong and light as a mother f%@#er

we test the wheels on chevy avalanche and thrash em around like crazy and even his wife drives it and we have yet to see any signs of any kind of stress or weakness

and HIN has new owners now which are really gay and dont want to bring it to miami anymore

For this market the forged wheels guys are trying to corner a market in, its not overpriced
Mind you they are competing with HRE, I Forged and the like. SO to offer similar pricing for a new product vs an established product is in my mind a little adventure some.

However every HRE wheel ordered pretty much comes in the wrong offset. I have seen many go back to them and iforged customer service blows. I think that where CCW comes in. great product, great price!

Hey VJ I hope maybe one day you are able to get your buddy a hookup on the rims
Wasnt this ISS Forged the sport compact line originally offered by 360 Forged?

nah our sport compact line is based on remaking the classic racing style wheels that everyone loves but with a more modern and classy design like the wheels that are on my car are based around the style of your BBS LMs
