(UPDATE pg 7 new photos!)My Build Update on Alpha Forged wheels
Hey Guys! Just wanted to share some photos of my wheels during the building process. 21× 9.5 et30 21×11 et38. These are the long legged faces which give an aggressive concavity to them.
Faces were just completed along with the lips and barrels. Same barrels used with the HRE's. Everything is now being sent out for finish which is another 3 weeks. Finish will be Matte Antique Bronze on face, lip and black hardware. Once completed will than be assembled and shipped to me! Here's the finish Here's what they look like but with a different finish to them These are similar to the ADV.1 ADV10's Last edited by lsturbointeg; 10-27-2015 at 04:17 PM.. |

Damn bro! You really hooked it up!
Never heard of Alpha Forged, I'm going to check them out. PM me some info on them. Thanks bro, best of luck with your wheels.

Nice design, and the finish will look amazing!
I never heard of Alpha Forged either, but I had my fair share with those "fly by" companies. Without mentioning names, I had bad experience with my previous 3pcs wheels with leakage & chrome lip/ clear coat peeling... Needless to say I now try to stick with the big names. Lol |

Good to hear they are backing u up with a warranty bro! My warranty was pretty short. Lol
I'm not knocking on ur company, I was just sharing my experience. And it's the nature of 3 pcs wheels though to leak no matter the brand. That's why I prefer monoblocks forged. |

They have lots and lots of examples on their website with this finish on black cars. I ran a similar finish on my Daytona blue integra back in the days. I thought about going all black but I think all the details in the wheel design would have been lost with jet black. I'm already running OEM liquid black and the whole car just loses it's details. I think with the bronze and black titanium hardware it should pop!

Looking forward to see these on the car.
Are you going with 255/30/21 + 295/25/21 tires?

That's correct remmib! I thought about 305's but wasn't sure if I'd have any rubbing issues or justify if it was just overkill having that wide of a tire in the back? I still have time to go with 305's but what do I think?

My rears are the same width and ET46, so yours will stick out 8mm more than mine. I'd say mine are flush, so you'll get a slight poke.
