305Forged Wheels

Does anyone have experience with 305Forged wheels? They claim to have the "strength & performance of a forged wheel", but for a very inexpensive price. https://305forgedwheels.com/

looks like another company thats just buying their stuff from china and selling for a markup. all the wheel designs are that of which we've already seen. more than likely flow formed wheels from the same place all the others are buying from.

the minute you say "very inexpensive price" expect to have bent or cracked wheels very shortly after mounting them up.

The wheels are cheap because they copy paste designs from other brands and don't have to design them from scratch.

Believe it or not modern technology is greatly reducing costs of manufacturing. They're just cutting costs (arguably illegally) in R&D

Being made in China doesn't exactly mean anything to me plenty of high quality products are made there

305 Forged is the company that you should be suspicious of. You can cut corners on American made wheels too...
