I'm diggin' the Brigs for a variety of reasons.

 

Subzero, but in 18".

 

Neez Euro Cross...hehehehe (shameless plug )

 

Kosei K1 TS is my choice

Peace,

There are obviously different opinions about forged versus cast wheels. Can someone offer a basic education as to the basic comparisons between the two (pros and cons)? Thanks.

 

When a material is forged it is compressed under heat "hot working" the material. This results in better grain structure and a stronger material. This means a wheel can have less weight and be stronger

Casting is molten material poured into a mold. though easy and cheap to produce, The result is not as strong, therefore your wheels will be heavier

If you are racing....and every .1 sec counts, go as light as possible.
If you are just adding bling .....who cares get whatever you want, Its just about looks.

 

Somewhat misleading. A lightweight forged wheel isn't necessarily stronger, or lighter, than a cast wheel.

Forged metal is stronger than cast metal. As a result, less material can be used when the wheel is forged, resulting in a lighter wheel. Some manufacturers choose not to shoot for a really light weight, resulting in a "not-so-light" wheel that's very strong. Others are looking for a "not-so-strong" wheel that's light... or anywhere in-between.

Don't forget that the wheel design itself also plays a large part in strength.

 

The Brig looks best to me.

Me to. Might be time for new wheels....
(I swore I would leave this car stock... )

 

Rota Subzeros

I went with 16's though

 

Looks nice

a pic thats a little bigger:

 

Face it you're an addict too.

I just bought an 01 Audi A4Q too, and it's already not stock. A chip is coming ASAP.

Hahaha...

 

I really like these the more I look at them.... The 4 lug into 8-spoke is an advantage for sure. Weight is good too. Do it!

 

The only problem is the offset is 40mm. I've rubbed already with my 42mm offset Centerlines. I'm running Hankook Z212, and they have a square shoulder. I'm lowered about 1.5" with Koni coilovers. I'm going to try and stiffen up the dampers to see if it will eliminate some of the rub.

Also, I can't find out much information about the company, warranty, etc...
