Default Forge Tec Creations 5 or similar

I have been looking around at all of the wheel options lately and decided that the Creations 5 is my favorite. I like the 3D cut and easy of cleaning this type of wheel. My question is: is there a similar wheel out there for a better price? So far Eastern Performance has the best price on these wheels too. I want to get a 21/18 combo with tires mouted and ready to go. Thanks for any input, just want to make sure I make the right decision.

I can't help you on the wheels but I can help you with a tip....
If you go 18" on the rear on the 2009 listed in your Sig Pic...a 200 tire is TIGHT.
So tight in fact, I took the 200 back off and put a 180 back on.
The 200 fits nicely under the fender on a 17" rim.

That is the very reason why I went with a 17" rear rim. Plus I'm lowered in the rear.

I don't know if Coastal Moto carries those rims, but I can tell you he has excellent customer service. He had alot of patience with me while I made my decision on what rims I wanted.

and I would stay away from the Forge Tec rims. I mean are you really ready for the attention the best looking rim on the market is going to bring?

I just have this to say... I ordered my Creations 7 wheels from Eastern Performance 6weeks ago... 21" front and 17X6.25 for the rear... the 17" was not in stock... EP told me it would be about 3 weeks 4 at the longest due to the holidays... so I went ahead with the order. I still dont have the damn rear wheel! EP told me 3 weeks ago it would ship on 1/17 and it didnt, then they told me last week it was going to chrome soon and I should have it late this week... still nothing, I finally called PM yesterday and spent 25 minutes on the phone to find out it still isnt in chrome yet and I wont see it until the 1st or 2nd week of Feb... If they dont have the size and style in stock I would find another wheel!!! Performance Machine customer service sucks and they are sloooooooow!!!

I don't understand your story. You ordered Creations 7 from EP, but PM is making them? I thought Creations 7 were Forge Tec rims too.

Wild stab here, but I though I heard awhile back that PM bought Forge Tec.
I was probably drinking...
