Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
I happened to run across these on another board and thought that it would be totally unfair to not share with the guys looking to have a factory appearance with updated sizes and materials.
Kranson Forged... These are a one off wheel at this time, but are looking to put them into production.







Contact this guy about the possibility of getting your own set

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Very nice, but if they're goin to make them billet.Probably too pricey.
I would'nt mind a set in cast form.
Are those GM center caps at least?

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Those pics of those wheels and that GNX have been public for well over a year, if not 2.
This is not a new wheel.

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Ya I seen a post a few years ago also about a set custom made like that. As said above I thought they sold on ebay for around 4k give or take a few..
Either way they sure are nice.

Nice wheel for sure, but I really don't have an issue with how the stokc PW7's look on my car. I know alot of guys would love the PW7 look only bigger.

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
^ no more than the stock GTA wheels.
I have a call in to the guys at Lipps Wheel Supply in Miami. Will see what comes back. Do any of you guys have recommendations on offset/width fitment for 18" wheels on a GTA?
Thanks a lot.

Lance wait until next week before ordering anything. I might have just bought something you may have more interest in, than I do.

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Id be interested in a set for sure but the price might keep me away
Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
^ Still working on this. I have not heard back from the Kranson guys on this yet. They are looking at what the optimal offset/stance setup would be for a wheel proposal and I have no reference for what that would be on a TA/TTA (assuming no fender roll). Once I have that, I will advise. Eitehr way, I'm sure it will be pretty expensive.

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
I emailed the people in the first post and didn't get a response either.
Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Yes, I have had a phone discussion or two with them so far. Need to have a couple more regarding width and offset I believe. Then we can nail down pricing / availability.

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Depending on if we can get the price down like I mentioned above I am interested. Are they going to be 2 or 3 piece?

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Ditch the bolt heads (i know....need for 3-piece but only if they aren't welded) & it is a winner. PW7s didn't have the bolt heads & I won't run imitations with bolt heads. I think they would go over better without the bolts/bolt heads. Or maybe powdercoat the heads black/gold to match the laces so they'd be less visible.

I don't really care about the bolts that much. I am more worried about the price.

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Still nothing back. I will try them again this week.
Don't want to contaminate the thread with conjecture on what I think the wheels will cost - just prefer to stick with some data from the guys who make the wheels.

Re: Cross lace wheel... 18" forged. COME ON IN!
Probably made in China anyway...
They look REALLY close to some of the rotiform wheels, and those are imported from China:
http://www.importgenius.com/search/rotiform
http://www.rotiform.com/products_lhr_3pc_flat.html
Not exactly the same, but I've found that 90 percent of these forged wheel manufacturers import their stuff from China.
Not all of them
http://www.importgenius.com/importer...ormance-wheels
I've also seen records of them importing from Europe, so they're not getting bottom of the barrel garbage from China like most of these companies do.

Those Rotiform wheels look amazing, but $1,250 per wheel is insane.
