Looking for suggestions: forged, 1-piece, reputable company, brake clearance, etc

Nixlimited · 07-02-2013, 01:09 PM

I am in the market for wheels for my Z, but, unlike my previous cars, I have had a hard time figuring out what wheel I love for this car. I had previously been thinking TE37SL or CE28N, but I am not sure I love either wheel enough for the price. I had what I would call mesh wheels on my M3 (BBS RS-GTs in Diamond Black) and loved them. Thinking maybe something similar here. As such, I thought I would try to crowd-source my search. Here are my requirements:

1. Reputable company (I won't buy from some fly-by-night shop to save a buck)
2. Forged and preferably one piece
3. Clearance for sport brakes and potentially BBK upgrade
4. 19" only
5. TPMS compatibility
6. Must have a lip
7. Dark finish for spokes and polished finish for lip available

Would appreciate any suggestions and pictures always help!

In for results. That's pretty much my checklist of needs as well.

Does anyone know anything about this ISS Forged company based out of Texas?

Good company, meet some of the owners (I believe the wheel industry in the US is sketchy), but I believe they follow what most do. Buy the blanks from one of the main distributors and add slight modifications to the design within spec and sell them. They offer plenty of options but can be pricey.

I fell in love with ISS Forged ML24 line. Big fan of those blue RW-10's, maybe with a black barrel... Nom Nom Nom. There are a few monoblock pieces in there.

Yeah, they seem to have a good selection and color range, but I just don't know if they ar reliable / lightweight / etc.

Weight you will have to contact a supplier/vendor on to see what they officially say. On reliability, I would say they would be on par with most American wheel makers in that price range.
