My new wheels finally arrived! iForged Deep Concave content inside!

I received my wheels this past Friday but have been too swamped to have a chance to post these pics I took. After weeks and weeks of patiently waiting, my new wheels finally arrived! A special thanks to my long time industry friend Vincent Wong, owner of iForged Wheels/Forgestar Wheels for hooking me up with a killer set of wheels! I went with a deep concave set up. I'm a fan of fat lips on wheels and I'm also a fan of concave wheels so I opted for a combination of the two. Fat lip + Concave spokes = Happy Chris!

The spokes finish is a brushed aluminum with a few shades of tint on it. I love the tint on the spokes because in bright daylight, the spokes look like a medium grey shade of brushed aluminum and in dark light/evening, the spokes look almost like gunmetal. The spokes are accompanied by a chrome lip. My car color changes during certain times of the day and now my wheels do too! I can't wait to put these on my CLS! Enough of my rambling. Here are the pictures!

why did they send you centering rings with a forged wheel?

The hub rings were thrown in a separate box with all the other accessories and I simply just placed all items on the floor and snapped a photo. The rings were in that box by accident and I wasn't thinking about removing it when I snapped the photo. Those aren't needed for my wheels.


On another note. I'll respond to more posts and hopefully have some mounted photos today. I'm just so swampped right now.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Alrighty so I ran some errands today and came home a little early so I can start mounting these. I was only able to get the left side on, then had to come to a stopping point because I had to pick up my son from daycare. I'm about to head to the garage in just a bit to get the right side on. I snapped these pics real quick and I'll take better ones tomorrow or this weekend. Lighting was bad in these photos so I'll re-do the pics. I was in such a rush that I even forgot the center cap on the front wheel LOL. I'm working on setting up a real photoshoot as well. I guess these will have to do for now. Thanks!

BTW, the wheels are iForged Equip V3 - 20x9 & 20x11. Tires are Hankooks 255/30/20 & 305/25/20.
