Hello Brian, Montegi Forge Traklite 2 makes a 17x8 @ 45 offset and weighs 14 lbs as they claimed. These forge wheels are not
Japan made . Do you have any knowledge of say the durability of these wheels? Are the process of forging same in Japan as in say China or else where? And what's the difference between forging and the process Enkie manufacture their wheels (LPC?) Would it really matter in true application as in bench racing against track?

No problems as I just got them recently. I'd prefer not to purchase items from China due to possible safety/quality issues not to mention political issues.
I guess cost overrides everything else in today's world. A company named American Racing sells items from China. It's just sad.

I had 15x7 Traklite 2's (6 spoke) in gloss black/polished lip. Very nice and light. Paint was good quality and the rims seemed to be well made. The same wheel in the Traklite 1 (with 5 spokes) in shiny gunmetal/polished lip were beautiful IMO. The finish and the paint looked better than the gloss black. I have heard the flat black Traklite 1's have poor paint jobs, but those are usually a track wheel anyway. The person may have left tons of brake dust on them.
