Default D2FORGED Feature: Wheel of the Week (4/6-4/13)

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 continue things with the VS5 model.

This classic 10 spoke design was one that we identified as missing in the landscape of wheel design. Like the VS1 it's not as flashy as other designs, but yet so "right" for so many applications, from Corvette, to Ferrari, to Viper, AMG or M-series. Couple this design with our quality finishes and you have what is my personal favorite, the VS5.

Our 10 spoke carries a straight, angular design and sporty profile to the lip, which gives it more aggression as the wheel turning. In Brushed with Chrome lip Finish, the spokes almost dance in the reflection of the lip! This design carries only 20 exposed fasteners which gives it that clean yet purposeful design.

Enough talk, here are some pics if the VS5 wheel and gallery pics on various vehicles.

believe i've seen that 997 in BayRidge. Even with Cathy's IS-F present, i'd have to say that 1st gen GS is absolutely stunning. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Looks great guys, one of my favorite D2FORGED wheels.

I need to update you with better pics of my brother's car!
The BBC finish is killer in person. Here's a bit more D2 love...
