Default Best forged alloys?

Does the TE37 still take the honors or are there new pretenders to the throne?

Are carbon wheels still OTT at 5k+?

Some interesting news for you guys, Team Dynamics will be releasing a forged alloy wheel circa Q2 of 2013.

I spoke with Peter Simson, the sizes will be 18"x9"/10"/11"/12" and 13" no word on ET, weight or design yet. They're still in the tooling phase and haven't worked out pricing.

Looks like i'll hold fire until i've seen the design and complete spec.

s204 forged wheels got to be one of the best and rarest, if i had £2900 + vat + customs tax + handling fee + delivery charge from japan, to spend on wheels they would be my choice

More to the point you can buy Dymag wheels with carbon outer/mag centers for that much.
