Well done sir; great choice.

Hi,

good choice of car.

Where in the US are you from?

[ArtyJ]

I'm from the Los Angeles area...... although I spend a good amount of time in Las Vegas as well. Glad to be part of another forum where everyone is so nice. I hope to come back to England some time soon and maybe get to the new Noble factory. I haven't contacted anyone there in about 2 years so I hope they are as nice as the last time I told them I wanted to stop by LOL. Here's a pic of mine, I've done a few things to it.

Wow!

The car looks awesome - obviously the great quality of light helps for photos!

Particularly liked the wheels - what are they?

Welcome, great choice of colour, love the wheels. Yes where did they come from?

Think ur as close as it gets, had a look at the 3 piece split rim, waiting for a price back with black gloss spokes pretty much the same. Be interesting to see what it comes back at?

[Blu3R]

From memory when I looked at a set for another car I was quite surprised, they're not that expensive. I went with a more mainstream wheel in the end as I could source them dirt cheap so I can't comment on the quality of Image.

There is a chap on here with a set on a titanium 3R but I can't remember who that is??

[Blu3R]

BTW hi OP, how rude of me to go off topic from a hello thread!!

Lovely 400, looks great in black. Has convinced me that my 3R definately needs its front splitter back on. Even if it is just for 5 mins until the next speed bump....

Hi All,

The wheels are from Forgeline they are in Ohio near where the US Noble importer used to be.... I deleted the factory rims when I was ordering my car from 1G racing, and had them put on during final assembly. I liked the black center with the polished lip, and the side benefit is that they are also lighter than the factory wheels as well reducing unsprung weight.

Thanks for all the comments guys!!

The price came back at £1500 for cast set gloss blk spokes. £1800 for billet set. Think i will just get my rims polished spend the rest on brakes.

Here's a few closer pics of the wheels:

Resurrecting this thread from the dead ...

ArtyJ ... I am considering ordering my wheels from Forgeline.

Do you know how much weight reduction was achieved with these wheels???
