Foose Knuckle

okay, I've literally looked and hundreds and hundreds of wheels and finally found a favorite which I'd like to go with but at $966.00 a wheel I'll probably have to find an alternate or hopefully hit the lottery lol............

I almost went with the same wheel after 3 months of searching and doing research on wheels. That wheel is very low quality with a high price. Your talking Forged wheel price, which are great quality with lighter weight.

As far as looks its top notch and would look badass on any Camaro, but when your talking price to quality they just dont add up.

Ask Nine Ball's opinion about this wheel and he will tell you the same.

Good Luck!!

Why not get the Foose Legend??

It is almost as nice and less than half the price!! To me, I like the Legend better even, although that is a personal taste thing.


I have the Foose Nitrous on my SKY and get a boat load of compliments!

The one in your picture ("Knuckle") appears to be a 2-piece forged wheel. Hence the price of them. Good to see that they still make a forged wheel, as most of them are just cast Chinese low quality wheels with junk chrome finish. I had a set of Foose wheels on a previous '07 Escalade and the finish looked like crap in less than a year. Very low quality, but that is also why the cast ones are cheap in price.

I disagree with the quality of the Foose Wheels comment.

As you probably already know, being the business your in, MHT makes the Nitrous, and I think most of the other Foose Wheels. I never drive the car in salt, but my chrome finish on my Nitrous after 3 years is still like day one. My factory GM chrome wheels keep oxidizing so I need to polish and way them (in storage rack in my garage) to keep them new. The quality of the rim is very good for a fair priced rim. Yes, they are cast and heavy, but about the same as stock wheels and I do not race, so it is fine for me.

I know many people with the Nitrous I have met at car shows, all were happy with the wheel.
