Default question on rims and general stuff

Im waiting to hear back as to what my buddy can do on a set of 22' Stingrays and I found a guy selling the Eagle Alloy 026 in 22's for like $900 plus $100 for shipping. This sounds like a great deal. Are the Eagle Alloys lightweight?? Does anyone if they are forged or cast?? Are they are reputable brand??? I dont want to buy a 3rd set of rims so I want to make the right choice this time.
Thanks all

Already searched. The 026 isnt listed on the site. Im also asking whether they are a comparable to Centerlines. That is an opinion that other board members would be able to provide since others have experience with these wheels.
Thanks

I have those rims on my truck. Got them for the same price. You can find all of the info about them at http://www.aewheel.com

here are some pictures of my truck with the rims.



The rims are light for 22's. The only problem i've had out of them is that the chrome is peeling off in one spot (on the inside of the rim where you can't really see it.) They won't warranty it until the chrome chips off of the face.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for. Your truck looks great, but I think I need something a little lighter. The Centerlines are a little less than double the price , but are about 14lbs lighter per wheel. Looks like its going to be a while still.
Thanks again

If I had the choice, I'd go w/ Centerlines. Light weight and proven quality. I've seen some decent aluminum Eagle wheels, but don't have any exprience w/ their chrome stuff.

Plus, I think the Centerlines look MUCH better. Do it right the first time!

BTW, sent you a PM.
