Founded to Fight Mediocrity 

Founded by Vincent Wong in 2007, Forgestar is a brand deeply rooted in car culture and community enthusiasm. Vince, a young engineering student from Southern California, discovered his passion for the automotive aftermarket within the pages of Super Street Magazine and under the hood of his 1996 Honda Accord. As an active member in his local car scene, Vince quickly recognized a need for affordable custom wheel fitments in the industry. Using his mechanical engineering skills, Wong pioneered rotary forming technology to develop the first customizable flow-formed wheel under the all-new Forgestar brand.

Established 2007

Before Forgestar revolutionized the aftermarket industry in 2007, wheel customization was a luxury only attainable to those who could invest in costly multi-piece forged wheels. With Forgestar's innovative flow-forming process, we made strong, lightweight, customizable wheels accessible to all car enthusiasts.
