Where can I find good 17x8 forged rims online that are of decent quality and decent deals?
I think I'm going to get 225/45WR17 Pirelli PZero tires, but haven't found anything I like in 17x8 rims yet that's forged (I'm really worried about bending them around here.. the roads are full of !&@!*@! pot holes and other crap). Any suggestions on where to look, or even brands to seek out? |

You will pay for forged rims. Cast aluminum rims are very strong and much cheaper (but heavier). As for forged rims, some great brands are Volk, BBK, Racing Hart (their top line), and 5Zigen. There are others.
I would have to know what style you like in order to point you in the right direction as to where to look. I would say try the top wheel websites to get an idea what style you like. (tirerack.com, tires.com, dragonwheels.com, wheeloptions.com, wheelmax.com) Then, create a post asking what forged models are similar in design. It will be easier to give you advice.
