New Wheel Pics
As many now know I had some issues with my last wheels F/S . Mike ( White Dragon & UAM ) stepped up to the plate .. I chose to go with the Strasse Forged
R10 Wheels in a matte black finish with a polished step lip . No more chrome for me . Also purchased the race prep package for the wheels. Makes them lighter. The transaction was smooth with a eta of little over a mnth . During this process Mike answered all of my questions and he delivered as promise.. I am a huge Volk fanboy . I finally wanted to step up to a 3 piece wheel and get away from the tuner look . I was hustled by Forged Specialties . Left a bad taste in my mouth . Decided to see what Strasse Forged is about .. Boxes showed up . Took 5 weeks from the time of order to show up on my door step ..... Not Bad !!!! Opened the boxes and man ....... These things are Gorgeous ... Inspected every wheel and No issues at all .. No thin paint , No weird markings , No ugly finish ... Simply Beautiful ... I could pick up the rear wheel with No problems ... These things are Freaking light. These are lighter than my Oem wheels .. Thats a plus .. Off to install and here is the picks .... I just want to thank Strasse Forged for making such awesome wheels and Mike for being there to step up to the plate and putting my confidence back into a honest and real wheel maker .. Thanx Guys !!!!!

Maybe its the pic but the outer barrel looks used or previously mounted. The inner barrel looks new. Look like black streaks of some sort.

I c .... The spokes were a little dirty but everything cleaned up really nice .. Even the offsets that I thought were going to be to aggressive are spot on ...

Thanks for the review NeverBoneStck! Glad you like your new wheels, car looks great!!!! Very cleanly done. Let's set up a shoot soon.
Outer lips/barrels are high polished, not touched on the mounting side. Centers and Inner barrels are completely powder coated. And no our wheels don't go out with used parts lol |

Glad we could help Blaine! I knew those offsets would work well for you and I am glad you love your new wheels! It took 30 days to have these made for Blaine and the weights are really light! And I mean sub 20lbs if I recall... As far as wow370z's accusation of used wheels he is way off!!! Blaine can attest that we made sure there wasn't a single flaw in his set. As with all my customers u get my personal cell phone number to text or call me with any questions. Blaine I know we had many of talks even some late night ones lol I am here for you guys to make sure your buying experience is flawless and rewarding!
