New Wheels CLS63--Huge thank you to Vince and Jeff from I-forged!!!

The deal to sell my CLS63 fell apart and was exhausting, I just decided to keep the car for a little while..My AVUS wheels were in disrepair so I needed new wheels...I-Forged to the rescue!!!

I really need to thank Vince and Jeff from I-forged for making this one of the best buying experiences I have EVER had...They were professional, courteous, gave me a smoking deal and the wheels were perfect..

Typically, these wheels take 4-6 weeks, however, I called Vince who happened to have my fitment in stock albeit the barrel had to be changed so that I could get the proper 9x20 and 11x20 fitment...He said he'd get right on it and within a couple days had the wheels shipped...Blew me away, what he said he was going to do was done and wheels arrived as stated and perfect...So, Vince and Jeff, I can't thank you enough!! High quality wheel, great service, great experience...I couldnt ask for anything more!! Thanks!!

BTW wheels are Semi-Gloss Black Centers with a Chrome lip

Yea. I hated driving up there. I think that's how I got a bubble in one of my stock tires. What happened with your buyer??
