Eagle, are these forged or is forging an option? Also, is different color powders available if I don't want flat black?

Ok..so the difference between -5 and -0- is what 1/8"...is that going to make a difference in the rubbing? I don't know, but if the tolerances are that small related to -0- vs. -5 than damn...

There is not much of a difference between -5 and 0 offsets. However, our wheels is wider than the Method DS 17x8.5 0 offset. (Eagle 012 is 17x9 -5 offset) This means that the wheel will stick out past the fender approx. .5 inches MORE than the DS. To remedy this, I will see if it possible to get a more + offset 17x9 to bring the outer edge of the wheel in closer, about to where the DS sits. Note, this will increase Backspacing. Hope this helps guys and I hope to get the wheel approved soon! Thanks for your input

These are cast, one-piece wheels. Manufactured here in the USA.

As of right now we do not offer any Forged wheels or any customized paint finishes.

Thank You
