I think it would be worth having a sticky for wheels.

I'm trying to decide at the moment, and there seems very little choice:

Ultima
Image
Forgeline
Kinesis
Dymag


On the face of it, that choice seems quite reasonable, but Forgeline, and Kinesis don't have many suppliers and none in Europe, Dymag are very expensive (too expensive for me), which leaves Image and Ultima as best availablity and value for money. And I guess only Image can offer most of their range. But I'm not keen on any and don't like Ultimas own wheel.

What else does that leave?

I agree, Im also trying to sort out a wheels at the moment. It would be nice to have the factory dimensions as well.. I have found most but still dont have the offsets... (Help anybody?)

I also am trying to find Orange centres(ala porsche gt3) with black rims, difficult to know what the different manufactures can supply. I know some guys on here have different colours, but it would be interesting to know if the choice could be made/ordered at the supplier.

I'm sure Forgeline could do that if you like any of their wheels.

You'll probably get a reply from Jeff, I believe he is the sole agent for Ultima fitments from Forgeline.

Jeff just got me a set of kenisis. They are cheaper than forge line but take forever to get. Mine took about 5 months, but they look great.

Hello,

I'm from Switzerland and at the moment I'm trying to find out if an Ultima GTR could be registered in Switzerland.
So I'm also looking to spec a GTR for me and I found this wheels which I quite like.
This are the new Forgeline mono-block wheels.






What's your opinion?

Regards from Switzerland.........Peter

I will get my wheels from a german supplier www.felge.de all 3 pc wheels he is offering can be made to fit on an ultima.
they are much cheaper than the american ones and you have no hazzle with importing and high transport cost.
In case of a damage you are better off with them as well.
