17x8`s are 500 a pop
18x7`s are 625
18x8`s are 640 (ouch)

you can view the various finishes here
http://www.bozeforged.com/finishes.html

this one is my favorite



here are the other styles that are available















and im not sure how much they weigh so it may be a bad find if it turns out they weigh 25 lbs each or something =/

took about 6 hours of diging on the net to find em'

Konig unknowns arent forged or lightweight, imo all those wheels are pretty ugly, and plus there is already a company that makes lightweight forged wheels for us, that are 15-16lbs, in sizes 16-19inch

so i just got back from ZE. First and foremost i have to say that the the quality of there wheels is top notch. I was also impressed with their level of customer service, the owner himself went ito great lenth and detail about what he could offer me and the community here as a whole.

we did go through the wheels and as most of you have already stated the styles are pretty good and as i have seen the construction is fantastic. The main probelm that most of us are having is finding a light weight forged wheel, the wheels they have are WAY over constructed for our application each wheel is rated at 3000 lb load capacity which is more then twice they need to be for the lightweight cobalt.

What he is looking into at this time is making custom wheels for us. I told him that the wheels would have to be in the 16-18 lb range for us to consider also i spoke with him on the price and he is going to see what he can do but imo if he can do these for 400 each it would be a good deal as that is what manufacturers like SSR are charging for there wheels. Another thing to keep in mind is that this company is willing to offer personalized options such as custom engraved center caps for a nominal fee as well as offering custom offsets each wheel will be made to your peramiters something you wont get off a regular mass produced wheel, the wheels are also available with and without rivets

I have given this thread info to the owners over at ZE and they are going to be keeping an eye on it. As far as i can tell they seemed eager to get a piece of the domestic sport compact market


on a side note i saw the wheels that went on danika patricks 69 camaro and they were hot, but not as hot as she is though
