If this guy is the owner/employee/retailer/wholesaler of Forgiatto and he does not know that these are 20" wheels right off the bat and that those aren't 5" lips in the rear. I'm worried and future forgiatto wheel owners should be worried too. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Actually the lip could be that deep. If you look at the lip, it goes all the way back to the rivets and not where the actual design starts. I thought the same thing until I actually looked at the wheel. But 5.5" is a lot to claim unless you have something of equal size to put in it to back it up.

S600
The way Forgiato wheels sit the lip extends past the face. The wheels may have a 5.5 lip in the rear.
I have a set of Forgiato on my S600 and I must say I have had nothing but problems so far. The paint on the lips keep chipping. 2 times they have been back to Forgiato to be fixed and still within 2 days of putting them on the lips are peeling again.

Forgiatto...... Chrome falling of...
Hi there,
I was in the states in April and bought some Forgiatto Granos in 9x20" and 11x20" for my CLS ( i live in denmark) .. I purchased the wheels from Harbor Motorsports in santa ana... They said building time were 10 days and shipping 1 week.. i got my wheels in first of June!!! Not exactly like they promised.. When i got the wheels i was happy and jumping around !!
Then i opened the box with the front wheel all the lugnuts were lying on the face of the wheel!! and the wheel looked like a shooting target !!! I talked to Harbor motorsport, and i myself had to pay a new wheel because of the shipping price it would be the same to ship it for repair !! by the fact i havent recieved the new wheel yet, even though the guy at harbor said he has shipped it first in june 
yeah right...
Now the next thing ( WORSE!!) :
I have had the forgiattos on for 500 km, ( i only use my car few times a week to work ) And i was washing the car Yesterday (12.07.2008) , and gues what!! The chrome i lacking/bubbling on the rear lips!!!
I have tried to reach the guys at harbor without luck by email, and tommorow i will try to call forgiatto myself.
I thought i bought the best and the coolest wheels on the market, and i was the first in scandinavia with Forgiatto Granos on my CLS.... But i guess i got ****ed...
Any of You guys that can help me out ?? what should i do ?? I live across the world and the dealer dont care... And this text from Forgiato´s hompepage is nothing like the real deal:
"We have combined our knowledge of the art of jewelry manufacturing with technological advancements in CNC automation. We use all American Alloy Parts. The end result is… Wheels that look and perform like fine Piaget watches… Proudly made in the USA using all American parts."
Yeah right....
Best Regards
Jesper
