    we’ve got a wheel called the vce that’s close. can be made in 6 lug, monoblock or 2 piece weld fairly easy and with a lower offset lots can be played with in the dogbowl

    I remember I posted early on in this thread about the look which I loved and still do. Any official weight numbers though, maybe even what I would expect from an 18x9? Also is this you that makes them?

    i’m the art director for mht. so i’m not involved in the wheel design aside from opinion or direction on my wheels.

    i can tell you my previous 18x9.5 forged six was 28lbs. i can probably weight these soon as well.

    That’s not to bad, any substantional increase if I went with a beadlock as well? Beadlock is not a make or break option for me either, I just want strong, light, and good looking... lol described me, just kidding

    Each to their own. To me, those are butt ugly but I don't live in an area where that scene is popular. When I lived in the South, the box-chevy donks and spinners were the rage and no one understood them back West. I "get" the styles, but the American Force wheels screams rockstar baseball cap and vape pen.

    No, those types can’t afford American force wheels.

    obviously doing a true beadlock will shave some weight off the wheel but it’ll add more than it took off back with the forged ring. depending on the ring type will determine how much weight.

    on all our beadlocks outside of cast are converted by omf to being a actual beadlock. next one i see come through the shop i’ll weight it.

    Come to WA. We have a lot of well-to-do "rednecks" who definitely can afford a new f350 and those wheels. Instead of buying a M4 with 10k HRE wheels they buy a truck instead. Same shit, different scene.

    When you make $1500-$2500 a day, and spend 14-28 days in a row on a rig where food and shelter are provided... its easy to see where the money comes from.
