If you read through that entire thread, the guys who did get iForged wheels where happy with the quality when the finally got them.
I think if iForged could just admit to themselves that they cannot guarantee an 8 week turnaround and tell people it will take 8-12 weeks to get their wheels, they'd have much happier customers. It may cost them a few that don't want to wait that long, but the PR gains would be better for them.
Again, I say it comes back to... can you stand waiting a few weeks longer than they say it will take to have a very nice quality 3pc wheel at a good price?

I dont see how you can defend this. Just b/c you have iforged wheels doesnt make this not a F-ed up situation. That's shady and I will never do business with them.

They TOLD HIM HE COULD PICK UP THE RIMS. when he got there 3 of his wheels were not even together and the 4th was whole but had a flaw. Plus the wheels were drilled w/ holes he DID NOT WANT. THEN he couldn't get a hold of Vince, despite many different telephone calls to different numbers. When he got ahold of Vince, he didnt offer any kind of apology and HUNG UP ON HIM. Now the guy isn't getting replies to any of his emails.

I have never seen so many negative posts about a wheel company in my life. The wheels look nice, but not THAT nice....the price is good for custom wheels, but not THAT good...certainly not good enough to put up with such crap and do business with liars and thieves.

stop crying, you said what you had to say ad I'm sure by now you know others have their own opinion.
Let it go, your side was pushed enough, thanks again for you story but you can only push it so far and how many times will you repeat yourself. Like LIFE, all the crying will get you nowhere.
how old are you lil man? no matter it shows.....

How old am I? Old enough to know you made a bad decision and now you're trying to convince yourself it was the right one. It must be great to have a car like the Z on Hawaii with no place to really drive it, huh lil man? Of course if you're putting 20" wheels on the car, that means you're strictly into looks instead of real performance....you should have bought an Eclipse.....then you'd have more money left for stupid mods....you don't need a real sports car, anyway.
Sorry, but you started it.

My .02
Overall, I like the look of my iForged Aeros. But, I'm a bit let down by the quality of the clear coat, since I've been able to spay it off both the front wheels with a regular garden hose. Vince is still trying to lay the blame on the tire shop that mounted them. I've argued with the tire shop to try to get them to pay for the re-clear so much that they've told me not to come back. Now, my right front has developed an air leak where the rim pieces are bolted together. Yes, it is the rim. I put the whole wheel/tire in a tub of water and it's bubbling between two of the bolts. So, let me sum up my iForged experience and leave it to others to decide if they wish to purchase from iForged:
1) Got in on first group buy. Waited nearly 4 whole months to receive wheels.
2) Received wheels, but they had the wrong rim peices on all 4. Had to send them back to iForged.
3) Received the correct wheels approximately 2 weeks later.
4) 2 days later, the clear starts peeling off the front wheel. I call Vince and tell him that the tire shop put a small chip in the clear of one of the wheels while mounting. This chip started the big peeling issue. He's trying to get me to blame the tire shop for the problem. In less than a week, the other front started peeling around the lug holes. Again, in two weeks time, I have no clear on the front wheels.
I've given up on the clear coat fight, as the raw aluminum doesn't seem that hard to maintain, but I want the damn air leak fixed. Will be contacting Vince this week.
