Default JLine Wheels

Anybody running JLine wheels on their car? Id love to see them.
They look more like a bawler/show wheel reminding me of HRE than a race wheel from say Advan or Volk.
I don't know much about this company. Just seeing how they look on an S2!

their same as iforged/dpe just a diff name on the wheel. im pretty sure their all cut on the same CNC machine, i used to talk to all those guys when i made wheels/had CNC. the hoops are all bought from same company even.

the cool part about Jline VS dpe/iforged is they promote the "stepped" lip as "regular" and REVERSE lip = the straight lip we all know and love. i personally feel their is nothing nicer than a stepped lip. from ME whos owned like 20+sets multipiece wheels.. you'll realize a "regular" type lip holds water behind the spoke when u wash it.

their nice wheels... kinda heavy.. but what do you expect from a forged CNC wheel...

Wow I want that lip!!!

Yeah they are pretty well priced.
Do they custom make each set for you to your specs?
Do they have high quality pieces?
What is their reputation in this "scene"?

Hmmm JLines or Prodrives. Stan at JLine is checking BBK clearance, and Dan at Prodrive has given me on the GC05.

I like the JLine 10RL3?

Did I read that right??? 225s on 9.5'' wheels on the 240??? WOW...

10RL3 is the best looking JLine. If it has any caliper clearance, I'll consider. The rest are okay, but not on the S I'm afraid.
I've fallen in love with the Prodrive GC05.

Jline is not the same company as DTM, but they do have the same manufacturing factory. Jline, DTM, and DPE use the same factory. iForged used to use the same as well but they no longer do. My buddy Jerry are good friends with Stan and Mark (owners of Jline) so if you need a hookup I'll see what I can do.

Correct! 225s on 9.5 I got him those tires and they're streeeetched! hehe
