    Hello, recently purchased a 1990 f40 from Classic Coach in NJ and have been looking all over for some nice forged magnesium wheels. I called a few Neez dealers and they quoted me 17k which is pretty crazy and also have a call into dymag to see if they will be willing to make a one off set. Are Neez and Dymag the only companies that make forged mag wheels? Looking for 18inch wheels that look similar to the cast magnesium OZs or Speedlines. Thanks
    -Mike

    IIRC, Champion makes magnesium wheels. You may want to look into them...

    Why not the OZ Racing or Speedline ones?

    It did run most of it`s life as a GT, so we won`t fight it....

    I will post some pics when I get a chance.

    Those are nice too. Pretty sure as you said they are OZ Racing ones.

    On a side note, what is with the decals over the headlamps? No lamps on this one or are the decals just for protection during racing?

    Those oem look 18" wheels really grabbed my attention...that opens up so many tire options without having to change the original look...nice.

    Only downside is that the spokes seem to look a tad thin maybe?

    In the first pic with the oem look and deep lip, yes. But i thought the last oem look one with the tire on looked pretty good.

    Thanks Mike, I'll do that. Your wheels will look sick on the car....how long before you get them ?
