New Cognac Forged Wheels. What do you guys think?

A good friend of mine started in own wheel line. True 3 pcs forged and can be custom made to your specs. Basically made to order here in the United States. Customs colors available from basic paint to color chrome.

I wanted to show get everyones opinion on them. Please feel free to say yay or nay, but IMHO, they are very nice and the quality is up there with any 3 piece forged wheels available in the market.

He brought over 3 of the 4 wheels for us to take pictures. They even offer ARP STUD BOLTS as option instead of your the regular bolts. For you engine/grease monkeys, you know ARP makes great head studs for custom build motors. Custom face design to fit BBK'S and LIP size options maximed to your needs.

Maybe if i get enough positive feedbacks, i can do something about the price since they are not cheap.

They look pretty good but I would be afraid to buy something not tried and true. Too many newbie's in the wheel game. These things need to be inspected and tested by 3rd party watchdogs.

I saw these first-hand and can say that these wheels look top notch!! Definitely are some of the best quality rims I've seen... The owners seem like really nice people too...
