Forgiato Weekend is what the wheel maker calls their annual customer appreciation event, although they prefer to look at it as a reunion, seeing as they treat their customers like family. From the customers’ point of view, then, it must have felt like Thanksgiving.

Only instead of turkey, they are treated to a magnificent car show, fantastic dinner, live music, sexy booth babes (just for looking), live music, and other festivities. Events like this explain why Forgiato Wheels has one of the biggest and most loyal customer bases among all wheel makers, nay, tuners in America. It’s a very well matched group too, on account of the kind of wheels they make and the kind of people who are interested in those designs. So it all works out for the best.

So for those of you who weren’t there, here’s a sample of what you missed. Forgiato Weekend 2016 started at the Forgiato factory in Southern California and continued to Fat Stogies Cigar Lounge before culminating in a party at the famous Playhouse nightclub on Hollywood Boulevard.
