My VT Forged SLA 3

Finally got pictures of my finished set.

Now the hunt for a repuatable shop and some tires.

Those look amazing. How much did they end up costing if you don’t mind sharing?

What does “we removed the curve from the spoke and made the spokes straight” mean? I’m not seeing a difference from the regular SL-A.3 SuperLites.

Gorgeous wheels, btw.

They costed around $800 per wheel. I forget my exact quote, but I added on a few extras so it was a little more than that.
The price is actually pretty amazing considering shipping is included.
AndyVTForged runs the whole show, and is an outstanding guy. He's been more patient with me, that I am with any of my customers lol.

Thanks! Choosing a worthy tire that will work with my fitment is the next challenge lol.

Thanks! The original design has the spokes starting flat, and then sloping inwards as they get close to the center. I wanted the spokes to appear straight (the red section below)

PS4S 255/35 19 all around. No rubbing, slight poke, moderate stretch.
With tires, these weigh: 48.6 lbs.
The OEM 225/40 19 weigh: 52.2 lbs

Over the OEM tires, these are louder! but much more comfy.
The attention i get on the street is crazy.

Couldnt be happier!

Just need to figure out what to do with these crap brake pads and their brake dust that ruin the finish within 5-10 minutes of driving.
Most of my Cars & Coffee events are an hour away, so ensuring the shine / finish is optimal is hard.
Do you have any recommendations for waterless wheel cleaners?.

Looks great. Very nice fitment.

Thank you for taking the time to weigh both sets of wheels.

Nice to drop some rotational mass weight.
