- Hey guys! What's going on?
It's Fuller here with Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on the YouTube.
If you're new to the channel
make sure you hit the subscribe button.
We're trying to hit 200 thousand,
because, well, it would just be cool
and maybe my mom will put a picture of me on her fridge now.
So, to jump right into the video then,
we got a couple questions from people asking
you know, we know about American Force,
We know about Specialty Forged,
but who else makes forged wheels and how do they compare?
So we're gonna dive into that today
with ten other companies that you might not have heard of.
(drilling)
(metal clanking)
So before we dive completely into it
I do wanna kinda just explain what a forged wheel is.
So you have your typical cast wheel
which is just your molten metal poured into a cast
and then they deburr it, clean it up,
and that's how you get your wheel.
A forged wheel is actually made of 60/61-T6 aluminum
and it's compressed with a ton of heat and pressure
into one solid puck that is then a blank wheel
so they change basically the molecular grain structure
so they're significantly stronger then a cast wheel
and that's why they usually demand a higher price point.
And they give you that super shiny finish
because its the raw material that's just been polished.
So, after that material is compressed into the pucks
and they're cut in blanks, they then take the blanks wheels
and load then into a CNC machine.
Where the design is custom engraved in there.
You obviously can order ones that they
typically will have for sale on the website,
but you can also do just about anything with a forged wheel
because each one is custom made so you can get it specific
to your bolt pattern, your hubboard.
If you want to change up the design a little bit
or you want to add extra milling,
or you wanna change what's on the rim of the wheel
there're some companies out there that do offer that option.
So, in no particular order then,
here are our top 10 forged wheel brands.
So starting with number one, we have Moto Metal Forged.
Now, Moto Metal you guys have heard of
and they've been around for quite a while,
but Moto Metal Forged is relatively new.
But just like their cast variants
Moto Metal offers forged wheels
at a pretty competitive price point.
For a set of 22 by 12s you can pick 'em up
for anywhere from about 24 hundred 25 hundred bucks,
depending on your finish options.
Number two is American Force and
I have to sneeze (sneezes).
These guys I'm sure you've heard of.
They're probably the most popular name
in the forged wheel game
and they're our most popular seller.
So they aren't super old though,
American Force basically made their debut in 2003.
However, they've been dominating SEMA
and the forged wheel game in general ever since.
Number three, we have Specialty Forged.
And these guys are basically the other forged wheel company
cause everybody knows American Force and Specialty Forged.
So, you have to have these
if you're trying to ball for the 'gram.
It is a must have.
A set of 22 by 12s is gonna run you
right around the four thousand dollar range,
so they're definitely pretty costly,
but that's kinda just starting.
You can actually get 24 by 16 Specialty Forged
all the way up to over 98 hundred dollars
for a set of four wheels.
So number four then, is Dropstars Forged.
And these guys are also relatively new
to the forged wheel market.
So they only have two styles right now
and they lack a lot of finish options
that some of the other companies bring you.
However, they do sit about middle-ground for price point.
It's roughly 27 hundred dollars for a set in 22 by 12s.
Number five is Gear Forged
and these guys are in a pretty similar boat.
So they also have been around making alloys for a long time,
but are new to the forged wheel market
and they still have some limited styles.
I think they only have about
three styles out there right now.
And again, same thing, not quite as many finish options
as some of the top dogs in the game.
And they do sit a little bit higher for price point.
You're gonna get a set of 22 by 12s for
anywhere from a little of over 27 hundred bucks
up to like 31 hundred dollars,
depending on what options you go with.
Number six on the list is RBP Forged.
Again same thing, these guys have made cast wheels
for a long time and with their forged wheels
they're really gunning for American Force.
So American Force, you guys gotta watch out
for RBP Forged coming in.
They are dropping tons of hot and new styles
all the time in their forged line-up.
And the one weird thing about them though
is their typical polish finish
that you see in most forged wheels
runs in a 22 by 12 about 29 hundred dollars
so a little higher than some of the other ones
but you can't get into the black finishes of RBP Forged
until you spend 34 hundred dollars on a set of four.
As far as finish quality goes on RBP,
I can't vouch for their quality because
they've never sent us one, so if you're watching this
RBP, we'd love to take a look at one of your wheels.
Number seven on the list is Weld XT.
So if you were building a truck in the late 80s or early 90s
these wheels were probably on your wish list
and you were dreaming of owning some of these and then
they vanish and they were gone forever until recently.
So Weld XT came back out and they were like,
"What's up, world! We're back
"and we're gonna make some big (beep),
"polished, fully forged, wheels."
So Weld ditched the 15 by eight fully forged wheels
that they were making way back when and they said
that they were gonna make a name for themselves
in the new truck market with all of the mall crawlers.
So you can pick up a set of 22 by 12s
for around 29 hundred dollars.
Number eight on our list is Fuel Forged.
And now, I have to hand it to Fuel,
not only do they have killer styles,
but the fit and finish on these wheels is near perfection.
But with that, comes a price of over 31 hundred dollars
for starting out on the 22 by 12s.
Number nine on the list then is Hostile Forged.
Now, we're big fans of Hostile here at Customs Offsets.
We actually run a set of Hostiles on CO2
which is out flagship 25 hundred HD truck
and the reason why they're so popular is because
a lot of their wheels look like they could almost pass for
forged wheels in the cast variations.
But, of course, they do have their own forged line-up
and they're releasing a couple new styles here and there.
The biggest downfall with Hostile Forged
though is the price point.
They are pretty expensive.
A set of 22 by 12s is gonna run you about 47 hundred dollars
which is on the high side for forged wheels
but the good news is, if you're bundling that
with getting your wheel and your tires from us
we can ship them to you mounted and balanced
and we ship for free in the lower 48 states.
And we can save you about 18 hundred dollars
off the package when you do add tires to your wheels.
So it's something to keep in mind with
all forged wheels on the website.
We can usually offer a awesome package deal
if you get 'em both at the same time.
Number 10 then, the final on our list, is TIS Forged.
So I'm sure you've probably heard of
the TIS five four four V
which a lot of people mistake for a forged wheel.
But it's not. It's just cast.
And then TIS Forged has something called the F 51 P one
which is the polish finish
and the F 51 BM one which is black and milled
and it's basically identical to the TIS five four four V.
So, if you're looking to ball for the 'gram
go ahead and get the forged wheel.
If you're looking to ball on a budget
get the TIS five four four V.
So those are 10 of some of the most popular
forged wheel brands that are offering
forged wheels right now.
