Talking My New Weels are In!

Yup, UPS guy dropped off all four of my stunningly beautiful iForged wheels.
Things that struck me is how happy I am with the overall design and finish I choose, and the lip depth. The front is 2.5, and the rear 3, i think having a 2.5 and a 4 would have made the rear wheels look out of place IMO. The brushed aluminum finish is a huge step up from the silver paint on the stock wheels. They are also VERY light. The official specs are 21lbs for the fronts, and 22lbs for the rear, though they feel alot lighter. The only flaw I found were a few dust specs that got clear-coated over, but again, thats the bigest flaw I could find on an otherwise flawless wheel. I will most likely have them mounted on the car tomorow and will post some pics.

I knew you would be posting very soon, since I knew they had shipped already. I think I am going to go 2" lip F, 3" rear.

Can't wait to see the pics!!!

Congrats! Those are beautiful wheels. I'm stuck between Volks TE37 19" and iForged. How is the price for those wheels? Any cheaper than Volks ? Thanks and enjoy your wheels.

You mean your first post on the 24th where you stated you were likely getting them mounted the next day and going to post pics? Yes, we saw that and are waiting...it is now the 27th? Did we miss something? Sometimes I'm dense...please repeat.

Brad4rdHay,

There is no 2nd page...or 3rd page for that matter on this thread! However, having caught a clue I looked around and found you started another thread with the pics you promised. Very nice looking wheel...ultimately I must say I was swayed by some questionable comments out there...had it not been for my self protective nature I'd be riding on similar wheels. I really like them without the rivets...good choice!
