work isn't always forged, and the meisters come in 2 pc also (which are forged). The D2s are the copy of the SSR professor sp1s.

as mentioned above, if you're on a tight budget, but want the works, then patrol the f/s forum, esp the ones in Cali You can pick up a set of 3pc work meisters for cheap....considering I sold mine for upwards of 2k with tires, and now they are going for as little as 1400
