Default Has anyone heard of this wheel?

Hey, a friend sent me this link off of the vwvortex.com site. They are having a groupbuy on these forged 2 pc wheels with custom offsets and colors. However, I thought the forging process created lighter wheels than 20lbs for a 17" and 18" wheel.


===RETAIL=== VWvortext Member discount Price
16"*7 = $1280 ------------------- $1050
17"*8 = $1424 ------------------- $1250
17"x10 = $1500 ------------------- $1320
18"x8 = $2140 ------------------- $1700
18"x9 = $2180 ------------------- $1750
18"x10 = $2252 ------------------- $1820
19"x8 = $2400 ------------------- $1900
19"x10 = $2552 ------------------- $2000

Here is what I got off of their site. What concerns me is that the 17" application won't work for our car. The wheels look pretty good though at a reasonable price if you don't mind the slight weight gain.

I've seen them on couple Audi but I never really like them.

But their new wheels



and expecially this one I like



Since they can make custom offsets, maybe they can do a set for 17X8 front and 17X10 rear.

For 17" wheels that weigh 18lb-20lb I think $1300 is pretty reasonable.

BTW this is link to group buy:
