To get the wheels like rodh, you need to order thr RS series, two piece-no rivets.
I like em better like that too, plus they're cheaper.

I have a question: when I look at the Aero wheel on the iForged site, it has all those bolt/rivet things along the outside of the rim, which I don't like at all. Your wheels are clean looking. Is this the "custom" part of the wheel? Can you order the Aero from iForged without the bolts showing?

yes, on the website the RS series without the bolts look horrible. Since then Vince changed the design and it was looking just like the FS series, but it was a 2 piece VS 3 piece. Then I was doing some thinking and wanted the Aero without the bolts, I saw Brads car with the 6 spokes without them and knew it could be done, after speaking with Vince he said he could do it that way.

It sounded like he wasn't sure if he was going to do it at first, and said he "had been thinking about it", my wife photoshopped the wheels without bolts and said that is what she liked best, I agreed, talked to Vince and he said "Ya, I can do it that way". I don't think it was going to be part of his original plans to do the aero with the new design (just like the aero FS) without bolts, but I got him to do it for me, and I know now that a few others have as well.

the "custom" part is that, in addition to being able to specify, finish, color, offset, style, width, depth of lip, diameter, etc....

Rodh....

How would the sensors be attached to the iforged wheels? With bands?

Default iforged wheels offset and finish

i wanted to go with the same setup as yours but i wanted a 4" lip in the rear. what was the reason for going with the 3" instead of the 4"? you mention that your offset was +18f and +27r, i think. if i go with the 4" then wont i need a different offset in the rear? and if i do, will vince at i forged be able to give me a educated answer as to what offset it should be? also, you went with the brush finish, which looks awesome with your color, but its more money. do you think just a polished finish would look allright with a brickyard exterior? sorry for so many questions, but is it true that you can alo get your tires and have them mounted by iforged? thanks!

I went with the 3" because I didn't want to go too radical, 3' was (and is) plenty for me.

I don't like rims that are all polished, so I can't answer that question, but I saw some painted silver ones that looked MUCH better than I thought they would (saw them when I was at factory). I don't know about the mounting, that could be, there is a tire shop 1 block away that Vince works with very closely, I had them to mine, maybe he can get that done for those that can't pick them up??

As long as you don't have atrack, you can get the 4"lip. He's not offering 4 on the track anymore because they rubbed my brakes and now i run a 3mm spacer.

Nice wheel choice, definitely give it a "supercar" look. By far the best I've seen!
