Iforged wheels are garbage.. Infact they have earned the nickname IForgery... People getting charged in full and waiting 6 months for wheels.. Customer service just tells them to wait.. when they receive their wheels they are damaged or not what they ordered.. IForged are CRAP.. end of story.

I wouldnt buy iforged w/ someone elses money. Just spend the extra money and get HRE's..

That is an extremely blanket statement.

I had an E46 M3 and i wouldnt DARE put "Replica" parts on my car. Maybe other E46's like 323's and 325's but M3 owners take pride in what they have.. and quite frankly if you can afford an e46 m3 you can afford REAL parts..

Ok, Finally...

After going through it w/my shop and HRE, we decided to go w/19x8.5 w/a 1.5 inch lip in the front and 19x10 w/a 3 inch lip in the rears and SLIGHT fender modification. All the luck to you AMGrider w/the 4 inch lip, I personally rather not completly remodify my fender. Now the wait....
