My 19" IForged Wheels!!!
What do you guy's think? I just received the wheels from a member on this forum. I think they look great but up close the clear coat is flaking.
The person who sold them to me said they are mint other than a little flaking around the center cap. I received the wheels and looked at the front two and the clear is flaking all over the rim. It looks really bad. I am taking them on Tuesday to have all 4 refinished. There is also a loud roar from the front tires. I wonder if it is tire feathering. Next time I will only buy new items no more used parts.

I purchased them for $2300.00 shipped with S-03's. But if the roar does not go away when I swap them from side to side I have to buy a new set. I hope I don't have to right now.

My suggestion is to have them stripped and polished, and either don't clear coat them or have them powdercoated clear. Its much more durable than paint. My first set of iforged were uncoated, and they were much better than the clearcoated ones.

Iforged switched to using a ceramic coating (instead of clearcoat) in the last few months. That's what I have, and there have been no problems so far. You might want to see how much it would be to have this process done.
