Saw the D2-Forged 3-piece wheels (the VS1) and they look nice, though I would like to familiarize myself with other "big lip" wheels before I settle on a set for myself. Does anybody have suggestions for other/similar wheels that I should consider?

Thanks

Get these 360 Forged Mesh 8 wheels: https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showto...t=0&start=0

He lowered the price and there are incentives with the purchase.

They are strong and relatively lightweight 3 piece forged wheels at 26.5 for the rears and 27.4 for the fronts (the fronts have thicker padding that's why they're a bit heavier). A lot of 3 piece wheels in these sizes are about 30-31lbs.

I'd say go for the DRANGED's 360 Forged Wheels or some of the DPE deals I have right now

yup it's a nice 2pc forged wheel. not yet released so no pricing but it'll probably be in the $2500-$3000 range.
