These look identical to the ADV.1 (Advanced 1) 3-piece forged wheel line. These are probably super expensive as well. I linked their model lineup below:

Also beware that the owner of this wheel line is the same person as 360 forged which failed miserably.

what did you expect for a real forged 2/3 piece wheel? Forgestar is misleading because people think they are getting the same quality of wheel in a free flow cast design. Not even close to how it works.
For real forged wheels you gotta fork over $1000/wheel because the entire process is incredibly expensive and intensive. Cast wheels dont even compare

Forgestar wheels are really great for people who want to spend less than 2xxx for quality wheels (from iForged). iForged is a very good wheel company and I dont think they want to market a bad wheel. They do pass wheel testing (independent also )

For under $2k they make a good wheel but its still a cast wheel, it may be a superior cast design and process but its not the same as a forged wheel, if it was then other forged wheel companies would be going belly up but they are not. Many of them are thriving.

I know they make good wheels, but they are called Forgestar when there is ZERO forging in their wheel process and its very misleading. People think they are getting Forged quality and strength for 50% the cost which is not true at all.

shizzle homie
just to be clear Forgestar makes a good strong cast wheel, but their name is very misleading to what they are actually selling.
