On the hidden hardware wheels, I wonder how the blind bolt "pull out" issue was resolved? I know how we dealt with it at HRE...

For Concave-face 3-piece wheels, check D2FORGED!!

There's a thread about it on here.

thanks for the link to D2 forged, I'd want to see these on an IS-F....

What offsets, and styles do they have besides 5-spoke? I like the ADV style more

After walking SEMA for a few days I found a "forged" wheel company that ACTUALLY SELLS their molds to all the other forged wheel companies. They are the ones who truly manufacture these wheels from scratch and supply most of the companies we are so familiar with.

I'm going to be talking to them in the following weeks to see what I can come up with for the IS-F

They spam like crazy... so sick of their **** lol. They do have nice looking wheels though, but I would be scared to drop 5k knowing how 360 handled their biz.

Nice monoblocks (Tech1) but I prefer HRE's much better (and price is almost the same). Is it me or that wheel has something like a handle? Balancing that wheel must be a royal PITA!

WAIT, are you saying TECH1 is the rumored company that 360forged merged or changed into? WTF, I was told at SEMA they are the ones who make the actual forged molds and not related to 360forged???

If that's the case no way I'm going to consider these wheels!

I think I see what you're talking about, but I think it's an optical illusion looking into the V of the spokes + the concave shape.
