    Question 20" MARAUDER REPROs

    Ive been shooping around the idea of a 20" Marauder wheel to several wheel manufactuers, and some have been very open to the possibility!

    So at this point the question becomes what the mebership is feeling on this

    As always i am looking to get an actual head count of members who are serious about making this a reality!

    The wheels will be 20x9, or 20x10 depending on what is wanted, also a possibility is there to do forged or cast, but i can tell you right now a forged wheel will be very exspensive!

    I have included a poll with options, so let me know what yall think. Also the wheels will be chrome.

    The only problem I always have is it would be hard to leave the forged 18s and move to a cast 20 :-/. My car used to have forged 19" Budnik wheels, and two of them bent. Makes me very afraid of a cast 20" on this car. Just my thoughts on the issue.

    Thats a very valid point, but i bent one of the factory wheels parking to close to the curb so this can happen with any wheel be it forged, or cast.

    oops, but I guess that's my fear, you can jack any wheel and it seems that much easier to damage cast wheels. That said though, what kind of price ranges are we talking for forged? I'd like to vote, but something tells me it would be more than my pocket could chew

    You would be correct! the Manufacturing process for a forged wheel is going to be around the 3-4k (a set) range, more than i would be willing to spend, but as one wheel company pointed out any forged wheel worth its weight is going to go at that price point.

    That's what I figured, the Budniks were $800 each, and that was 8 years ago

    I've never had any issues with a cast rim cracking bending...my homeboy has 22" cast rims on his 96 Impala for about 7 years now, I've had em on my Caprice, and my other friend has 24" forged Asantis on his donk....as long as they're a quality rim you'll be good...and with that said cast would be fine for me!
