Richland Forged
Hi Guys,
Ordered a set of the Richland Forged for my H.S. M2C today. Looked for info online for customer experience but they seem like a new company so not much available. The price point for fully forged is excellent. They're made in China and designed in USA. Excited for the order but having some second thoughts bc so little feedback is available. Does anyone here have experience with their wheels and can comment on quality / durability? https://www.richlandforged.com/produ...=false&q=false TIA |

You beat me to it. I ordered the "Project Nurburg" RF-GT4 few days ago as well! Now the 35+/- days wait begins.
I like how it looks like the 763M but wider and more concave! Best part, the PRICE! I can't think of any other 19+ forged wheel at this price (well the Titan 7 comes close). Weight isn't too bad either (even though it's wider, the rears are about 2lbs lighter than the 437M rears [fronts appear to be about the same weight]). The OEM 763Ms are lighter by i think a pound, but again, that wheel is .5" narrower. I thought about it for a week as there aren't many people rocking these wheels. I stumbled across them by total accident (i think a Social Media post?). Maybe it's because its too new of a company or not many people want OEM styled [replica] wheels, but Lyle at Richland Forged was really quick in answering my questions. I think you and I may be the first M2s' with these wheels.... Last edited by StarMan; 04-29-2020 at 09:27 AM.. |

I really wanted the Brushed Tinted Black!! Really pops out and gives the wheels more depth! I nearly sent an email to make the switch (i think it's worth the $200 difference), but seeing 763M in person and drooling over them for months now, was my deciding factor for the Satin Black. On your car color, pretty much anything would go (event the Bronze!) The one thing that would scare me with those Brushed finishes is in the event you curb\damage a wheel, i'd imagine that would be quite hard to paint match Last edited by StarMan; 04-29-2020 at 12:46 PM.. |

It was a very tough decision but I ordered the Brushed Clear as I really love that machined aluminum look. Quick photoshop job showing brushed clear vs. brushed dark. I found the original pic maybe on the forum, so not my car. Which do you prefer on the H.S. M2C?

Great. Waiting for your guys' long term experience, a complete set is about a thousand cheaper than 763m. I am worried about the offsets since I want to do a 19/20 setup. Also, the wheels are made in China is also a point to consider

BBS FI-R are 9.5"+22 and 10.5"+35 and they fit with no issues even with wider tires.

I had a set (well, two sets if we're being honest) of Volk Ce28N Time Attack wheels. This was for my 350Z. They were 19x9.5 and 19x10.5. The fronts were 18 or 19 lbs and the rears were maybe 20. I think the 18 inch wheels were 17 lbs. Now, granted I purchased these back in 2007, but i believe i paid $2700 new. I hope i didn't come off as an ass or anything, just saying there are options in that price range.

I personally love the 736M style, so when I saw these Richland wheels, I just had to give it a go. Nothing wrong with helping out a small start up company in my eye too. Longevity is def. a total gamble with new wheels, so I guess I'll be the guinea pig. |

This seems about right for aftermarket wheels from what I've seen. Lots of guys running 10mm spacers front and rear on the PCar forum and those didnt seem too bad. But I'm not expert so maybe 1cm is alot. But as was mentioned in another post above, the BBS are almost identical and people seem to love those. Also, you can run stock size tires or go to the next width which I think is what I'll do. 255/35/19 front 275/35/19 rear These have been confirmed to not rub. |
