I love the iforged, but i think thats just a bit much to spend on wheels, i dunno, im torn.

I priced some Axis Penta at $2100 w tires, so probably about $2300 shipped.

I dont nkow what to do, i looove the iforged so much, and im a stickler for that type of thing. Anyone have a pic of axis penta on a sedan? in 19"?

Ughhh, what to do!?
At least price them out. There are different variations (2-piece instead of 3-piece...painted silver instead of brushed alluminum..etc) that will cost less and you can still get what you want.

Tell Kenneth we sent you . Between Chobble, TTrank and myself, that is at least 4 sets of iForged.

Maybe Kenneth is watching this thread?

I tink you guys are right, iforged are just to much, best price ive gotten is $2900 shipped for the 19" tires will add another $6-700, and thats more than im willing to roll around with on my car. Ive had cars broken into, and or stolen a total of 6 times, and im not sure if i woudl feel comfortable with $35-3700 worth of wheels/tires on my car.

I think im goin to opt for some cheaper wheels and either get some suspension upgrades(ie: tein basic) or a DSLR, and just some eibach prokit.
18" 350z track wheels (Rays forged)





19" G35 coupe wheels (Rays Forged)





19" M45 wheels (enkie i believe)







opinions?

go with the nicer set - iforged etc. You wont regret them - it may be a lil more but worth it.

I was going 5zigen/axis before but decided to just get the WORKS in the end - am so happy with them!

I agree...get what you really want (iForged...etc). I understand your concerns though.

If I had to choose between the OEM look....I'd go with either the 19" coupe or the 19" M wheels. If you plan on droping it more than 1.5 inches and want to keep the camber close to stock, get the M's. Any one of those looks is really nice and clean which is why it is duplicated so much.


How about OEM and powder coat them black?

I hear what you guys are saying, and if the price was close id have to agree, but the price of M wheels or Coupe wheels are about $1000-1200 in most cases, making the iforged 3X as much.

The good thing about those wheels, is that the market has stayed fairly static on them, so later on i should be able to get back whta i put into them if i ever want to upgrade.

Keep an eye out for me

You guys are going to pressure me into buying new rims for my sedan.

I like some of the forged Sevas rims.
