Are forged wheels worth the extra $$$$$

[CincyZach]

Thinking about these Fuel Forged FF15 wheels. Just wondering if they are really worth the extra money.

Depends on what you need them for, it's only money, go for it!

Very sharp looking. Forged is usually stronger. For a 1/2 ton, definitely not necessary. I’ve been looking at the same wheels.

Well I don't need them.... but... I think they look pretty bad ass Right it's only money I can always make more lol.

They certainly are to drive-by shoppers for resale.

Only reason to get them would be for the polished look, they’re more resilient to corrosion. If you’re getting black coated, only people at SEMA will care about your street credit with forged wheels.

True definitely not necessary... probably not necessary for anyone. Yep, stronger, lighter, better built... and well I think these look pretty damn good lol

Well hell... not planning on selling... not looking for the polished look... not going to SEMA or really care what they think... guess I'm screwed lol

I've tried that logic with my wife but I didn't get too far lol!! I say go for it since I can't!

Well no wife here, just trying to justify it with the voices in my head lol

I get that. I really like the stock wheels on my Express and frankly thought new wheels while very cool are just too much of a stretch for the cost. Instead I took about the same money and ordered custom Clazzio seat covered (full Nappa leather, black outer, dark grey interior, blue stitching blue embroidered Ram logo on all the headrests) since if I am going to spend that much money on looks I want too see it while I am driving lol! I ordered them the 1st week in Dec and was just told they should be here a couple weeks. They really will be the crown jewel in the overall look of the truck.

 

[Tray Burge]

Well Hell! What's stopping you? I think they'd look awesome on just about anything.

That's awesome! Post pics, I'd love to see it when they're done. I actually really liked my stock wheels but they wouldn't work with the lift I put on, or I would have kept them.

I just saw them last night lol. I still have to figure out what tire I'm going to put on them too.

When your driving down the road who they for, you or the person looking at them. Stock is fine for the wallet.

 

[SOKY_RAM]

I would look at opportunity cost. What other mod could you do with the same amount of money and some cheaper wheels.

Yes I will for sure. Will be similar to these just nicer!

Hmmm... I see your point, but they would be for me. Agree stock is better on the wallet, I would have kept them if they fit with the lift.

Hmmm... but will I be happy with cheaper wheels??? lol

Stock is boring and sux, get something you enjoy looking at and be the envy of all the "stockers" lol
