Default That's a good looking wheel.

My main concern would be the build quality...I think I'm interested though...

this post seems a bit like a advertisement, trying to disguise as a question.

Not bad at all, similar to forged BBS depending of course on the style.

However, I would like to make sure I get the lightest forged wheels that I can get before I make the change from OEM stock wheels. Any suggestions would be welcomed as I keep hearing HRE or Fiske, but nothing less than 19 lbs for 19 x 9.5's. Even the SSR's are around 19 lbs &amp; they are single piece forged v. 3-piece forged.<ul><li><a href="http://aeroforgedwheels.com/collection/af-2">AF-2's to round out the collection from Aeroforged...</a></li></ul>

sorry if I misinterpreted, however it is not uncommon for the more unsavory sales types to use message boards like this. Especially when applying the company link and talking about "getting presence on the streets". Just tripped some alarms, I am anti ad-spammers. They should pay for ad space to audiworld like everyone else does. Not fair to them.
