Are your M wheels gone?
haha your too funny Wayne.

You'll have to let me know what youve been using come spring Wayne. So I'll know what to use.

Yes, ive parted with my M45's. Just this past Sunday actually. I had one good season out of em. Its time to move on to something new. Time to start a new love affair. haha

I just discovered this thread and these wheels. Your ride looks sweet with the Gunmetals. I'm thinking about doing the same.

Just curious, why didn't the front wheels get ordered with +42 offset to avoid the spacer use? (i'm still learning offsets) Anyone know if the offsets are unchanged from Gen1 to Gen2 sedans?

BUT to come on and bash iForged??? doesn't add up.
iForged has a good rep? LOL, just go on any other forum and type in iForged problems and you will see what kind of rep they really have.... Even on this forum you can see.

I have iForged rims and have had nothing but problems, ie: wrong offsets, peeling Chrome, Flaking paint, Bending barrels.

Shall i go on?

I'm not a basher, just telling it like it is...

And if you don't believe they are made by intro go to Anaheim and check it out yourself like i did and you can see with your own eyes....

+42 offsets would've needed an even bigger spacer, +25 front offset would've been ideal for me. hence; +35 & +10 = +25. sparcers make the offset a smaller number. spacer's aren't need for my setup, i just wanted to flush the front out a bit. why didn't just order them in +25? well, when i called to inquire about the wait, they informed me that an unspokn for set in these offset was already on the way here. wait time 3 weeks vs 3 months. don't know what the wait time is like now though.

to tell you the truth, i like iforged wheels. so if it's true, not really bothered. i personally have these wheels and have no problem w/them. these wheels have sold internationally and are really starting to pick up steam. i personally know they're lightwieght and as for strength, these(F14) have been used @ Redline TA and other track events. so, i don't really care where they're made. they're everything i was looking for and at a great price. i'm not really sure what kind of damage you think ur doing tying them to iforged... that's like saying, "don't waste ur money on OEM sport 19's, they're just a cheap wheel made by Rays."

Just to give you guys the heads up. I think Iforged and forgestar are the same because here at sema they share the same booth.

they are totally the same... all you have to do is look at each website - same address, same web design... its the same company, different wheel line.
