    Breaking News:

    Forge Motorsport is pleased to announce that our US office has been appointed as the official US importer of 3SDM wheels out of the UK!

    www.3sdm.co.uk

    Production of the highly anticipated 0.05 design is currently under way with the first bulk shipment expected to arrive in the US sometime in June! We are working to have a dedicated US website live very shortly as well!



    Look for more information to be available at the Southern Worthersee show in a few weeks, where we will also be taking orders for the wheels!

    Until the US website goes live, please contact us at 3sdm@forgemotorsport.com with any enquiries.

    I love the look of these wheels since I saw them a few weeks ago. Any way to get other sizes in like an 8.5 et35

    These are the only offsets offered in a 5x112 bolt pattern at this time. More variations might be offered at a later date. You could always use spacers to achieve the desired stance.

    I assume that will require tire stretch and maybe camber. Offset is low...to low for the width of the wheels offered. The rear concave look is NICE!!

    Only offering in a single piece wheel? What about the 3 piece ones they have?

    The 3 piece designs are not 100% finalized yet, but will be soon. We'll make an announcement about those as soon as everything is ready.

    Not a fan of spacers in the front, too much vibration at certain speeds.

    That means the spacers/wheels you were using at the time weren't centered on the hub properly, which is easily remedied with hub rings or hubcentric spacers!

    Thanks for the quick reply. Been on the hunt for a 17x8.5 wheel that fits my personal preference.

    LOL, what's up son? Calling for me cause you miss your daddy again?

    The wheels look good..remind me a little of the F40 wheels:


    Wonder how much they weigh?
    If your gas cap light comes on even if you think you tightened the cap, try pulling on the cap as you tighten it. Worked for me.
