wow.. weird.. 3 spokes?.. sitting an tryin to figure out how many spokes it got.

This is a preety new concept.
forgiato is a company based in burbank, California (LA suburbs)

They are a very progressive company that builds nicely designed wheels. some gets the check on vip-ness.

wheels i like from them:
Alneato
Concavo - Looks like a rip of something
Otto - Same as above

Yeah, I wonder how they balance those wheels.  I think it's cool.

Those are different! I like the concept, but they would make me think my car is constantly booted...

Absolutely hideous, but a cool concept.

That crescent bit opposite the chunk part is what balances it, according to the site.

very cool

not new and not cool.

i like the piastra

Agreed. Its something unique but I kinda like it. Although I wouldnt rock them though. Forgiato does make some nice wheels. Broken Abstract had the Forgiato Concavo before on his 300 but ended up selling them. =( 

These wheels on the other hand remind me of Swiss Army luggage wheels which has the "boot" look.

Im not feeling anything from their line up.  I think the wheel Broken Abstract had was nice though

Man, your car crew shop does some NICE stuff...I've seen many a sick Benz shot outside that building! :giggity:

sweet car, hideous rims

i kinda like it in a different way.

Nay IMO but what kind of suspension is that thing on?!?! Shit is sick!

they look badass rolling i bet. i like.
Charley

Very strange! Not sure yet on this one.

They looked gross on the Bentley and worse on an E-class.  Maybe in 20 years they'll be cool...or we'll fly cars instead.

i love them

but i liek stupid shit

Id rather rock stock wheels.

There a lil too much imo way futuristic...the car is dope but I think he or she couldve done better...

when rolling it'll have a too lopsided look to it....so nay

also isn't it a pain to match the front and rear like that everytime you stop?

[QUOTE=Blitz;227040]also isn't it a pain to match the front and rear like that everytime you stop?[/QUOTE]

LOL, as long as you don't do a burnout, or try not to slip on wet surface, I think it should stay match all the time hahaahha....

Anyway, personally, I don't like it, but I hope no one from my crew hears this hehehe....

as long s you arent doing burnouts....no

tell those fags to make 18s

If the big metal spoke would stay fixed in one spot, I think they would look cool in motion

They should be banned along with spinners. He could have done better with the money he payed for them.

I dont like them at all . What do those retail for ......... just curious

I remember seeing that benz somewhere before with HRE's. Lets see those wheels spin.

their wheels are too artsy.

they look like you have wheel clamps on hahah not a fan at all, too avante garde for me!

All you have to do is look at where they mainly advertise, and you see the big picture. Du-Pont Registry. They are just aimed at rich people with exotics.

That's just weird.

That looks like it would be out of balance or if one weight fell off it'd wobble all crazy.

If they give me a set for free I'll rock them... :shrug:

jesus those things are ugly

I am all for being different and trying new tings but those are a little too odd for me.

it highlights the brakes nicely but thats about it. :shrug:

If I could get a set of 16s for free, damn right I'd rock them.

:saiyancrunks:

Nooooo thank you! Yuck!

couldn't agree more.

Really? To be honest and I'll probably will get bashed for this...but I actually like them. Don't know if this is cuz I'm a girl but I would totally rock them if they didn't want soooo much money for it.

Haha I've asked and they said there isn't a demand for 18s

$8,500 all made custom.

The more I look at them the more I like them its different maybe thats why to me it works on that car.

Yeah...I've been jocking over them since jtanoyo1 posted the thread.

i like the concept. it would be interesting to see how it look in motion.
