Forgestar is cheap because they manufacturer the wheels overseas and then import them in quanity, painting them here in the US. Downside is they don't carry much inventory so leadtimes are very long. They actually lost my order in the inital rush from this site so my order took even longer. I like the look of the wheels and the price was right, fortunately the order delay was over the winter so it didn't affect me.

Downside, the design of the wheel stud recess prevents you from getting a lot of thread turns out of the lug nuts. Enough for street driving, but not enough for safe track IMO. I lengthed the studs to solve that problem and run spacers with the stock wheels when I use those.
