VMR makes a high-quality product. Most people don't need a forged wheel

Take a look at this - http://blog.wheelsto.com/2009/11/vau...r-mustang.html

The SEMA car used HRE's, but customers don't want to shell out for them, so the actual package you can buy uses VMR's wheels.

VMR uses a distributor named Supreme Power Parts. The can re-drill the wheels for you, and also do a custom powercoat. They powdercoat for Forgestar as well, and can do any color you see either here or here. Email jeff@supremepower.com and let him know what you'd like.

It should cost about $50/wheel to re-drill, and $75/wheel to powdercoat afterwards (might not even be needed since 5x112 is so close to 5x114.3). It's really not that much for a totally unique wheel imo.

I've also heard of people using wobblenuts (lol) to go 114.3 <-> 112, but it's about the same cost to re-drill, and then you don't have to worry about safety issues with the whole wobble thing.
