Sorry when you drop below 16in the hub is still the same size and the drop in weight from the smaller spoke and lip is barely half a pound total.

Default Warranty Update

Hey everyone, in response to people's lack of trust in the strength of our wheels due to the fact that we are new (we would be skeptical to). We have changed our warrenty. From now on.
<U>If a wheel is bent we will repair it for $60 plus shipping. If it cannot be repaired we will replace it at no additional charge*</U>
Tell me what you think about this? Does it help?

*only one full replacement wheel per set of four wheels purchased.

Default Re: Questions

Yes we do make all of our wheels for the Acura TSX. We can do custom offsets, +45 is no problem for the TL we have actually done several sets for TLs. Plus our wheels do clear the brembo brakes on the stick shift models. Right now we are limited by the size of 6061 grade aluminum blocks that we can get, so at this time we cannot make the wheels wider than 7.5", we are working on a totally new type of multi-piece wheel but that is at least a year away due to all the testing we require of any totally new product. Also System-F, could you post or e-mail me at sales@6061forged.com what wasn't working on our site I would like to get it fixed ASAP, Thank you.

Yah either one is $239 a wheel the a5s we have pre-machined the mesh needs to be made from scratch so it might take a bit longer than an A5. Sorry we shipped the last black painted A5s today before I could get a pic again!!!
