Default D2FORGED Feature: Wheel of the Week!

Hey guys, we are going to be utilizing a "Wheel of the Week" platform to give a little more insight and info on D2FORGED and our wheel line.

We are going to get things kicked off with the VS1 model.

The classic 8spoke mesh was a top priority, for reasons of getting "back to basics". Although not as flashy as other designs, it is just simply "right" for so many applications, from Corvette, to Ferrari, to Viper, AMG or M-series. In our humble estimation, a product line aimed squarely at the exotic and performance luxury market is null and void without a classic mesh wheel.

Our 8spoke mesh is slightly more angular and sporty in the spoke contour and also has a deeper return, which lends a more elongated spoke.

Enough technobabble, here are some pics if the VS1 wheel and gallery pics on various vehicles.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING! :clap:

Great pics, rides and wheels! One great thing about the 8 spoke wheel is it shows off the brake calipers, which is very cool.

Derrick, that drop on the Viper with those rims is just sick. Derrick, is that your Viper? Geez, it's been so long since I've seen it if it is.

And that Vette? oooh-la-la
