I have a special deal for us FG members. It took a few months but I can offer a great wheel at a great price. D Force is a company that is in business directly with Turner and UUC, but with ties has let me extend special pricing to FG members.
With a special process they create a strong, inexpensive and LIGHT wheel. This is taken from thier site:
"Our factory uses only the finest virgin alloys to keep the end product inherently consistent and high quality. Depending on the project, an appropriate casting method is selected. For example, a high performance race wheel can be achieved economically with our proprietary Flow Forming technology.
LTW5
Size Weight
15x7 13.0 lbs
17x8 15.5 lbs
17x8.5 16.2 lbs
17x9 16.4 lbs
18x9 17.8 lbs
18x9.5 18.4 lbs
18x10 18.8 lbs
The center area of the wheel is first cast in a low pressure mold, then removed and spun on a CNC machine where it is pressed, heated, and spun simultaneously, resulting in a semi-forged finish that forces the aluminum in the barrel area of the wheel to be thinner yet more dense, allowing more strength from less material, therefore reducing weight. And we all know that less rotating mass is the name of the game in high performance. "

Now for pricing. Anywhere on the net these are $249 which is still a great deal. I can get them for $229 a wheel plus shipping for 15 and 16 lbs wheels! Avail colors vary so ask me. Currently avail are 17x8.5 and 17x9 wheels in 5x120 e36, E46 and E90 fitment with hub spacers avail also. Inquire for Spec Miata and Spec E30 as well.
