Feeler: IForged Wheels

Would any one be interested in a group buy if Ricky at EuroteckMotorsports could get us good pricing?

This would be for the C55 and C32 owners.

He just wants to know right now if there is an interest before getting pricing.

That's the different kind of rims I can get. Right now I'm not supporting it because we've only gotten three responses. However, if we can get something like 10 people, then this is something I will seriously consider and go with.

Marquis and Technik are the only two I do not care for. If the price is right, I would concider any of the others.

Would we all have to get the same style of wheels?

Like right now?! Without considering the possiblity of the group buy??
If you really are interested, pick out a style and give me a PM.

MCoupin: No, you guys can get different styles and different widths. Heck you can get different rims for different brands (Honda, Lexus) whatever.

RareAMG: That I'll consider if this goes right. First I want to gauge interest of people with the iForged rims. If it's not enough, or if it's perfect, then I'll move onto HRE.

Here is an example of what some pricing can turn out to be like and some styles.

I have nothing but good things to say about Eurotek, but I have heard less than stellar reports on iForged wheels.

I do understand everyones concern about iForged wheels. I'll be dealing with guys who have experience of executing more than 20 orders at a time with perfect accuracy.

Nothing will go wrong here, and if something were to occur (Heaven forbid) you know service is our number one priority. We'll jump through flaming hoops to fix it

No I won't take a video of Neal and I jumping through flaming hoops.

So far we have about
(2) HRE
(2) iForged
Of course that isn't final, it's just gauging interest. If it turns out that we can't get ten of each, if we get 15 total I think I can work something out.

Whenever we get enough guys to possibly have an interest.

We'll let this ride out. And if plenty of guys say that they might be interested if the price is right then on Saturday (what I'm hoping for) I'll set up some pictures and prices and what not.

Of course though, you guys shouldn't hope for 1000$ HRE's and stuff. That isn't possible, lets be realistic

Can you guarantee everything will be handled in timely and proffesional manner. I am not doubting EuroteckMotorsports but i have my doubts with iForged, they don't exactly have the best track record.

Ditto. They don't have a great reputation.

Don't mean to add fuel to flames but special caution should be taken with IForged... another bad example: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54306

Just watching out for fellow MB enthusiasts..

I originally inquired about Iforged based on another link where Ricky was selling them for the E55/E500.

I would rather have HRE so if anyone is interested, lets get this thing going!

I know iForged has a really bad reputation in many places, but if you check them out at Clublexus, there is a fantastic dealer there who has a very proven track record. As long as your distributor (us) knows what they are doing, everything will turn out perfect.

AMG BRED: I'm not sure if I want to guarantee it, because just incase something were to go wrong I don't want the entire forum to hate me, but I do want you to know that we'll try our very utmost best to make sure NO issues prop up. As much as you guys hate having to return rims and waste money, it also takes up our time and wastes our money as well. Do it right the first time I'm sure everyone agrees there!

So far from this thread I see the following.

HRE
waiting for responses

iForged
waiting for responses

Just tell me in this thread which one you are more interested in. Of course though, this isn't a final list, becaues pricing isn't out yet, I understand that fully! I just want to see what it might be like.

Professional yes, timely not so sure. Iforged can delay the build and there is nothing we can do about it.

After thinking of this some more, I will not do an Iforged group buy. One, I will not want to risk having a bunch of unhappy happy customers. I would rather only have a few! :p Also, we just have no time to organize another GB with all we have going on now. Possibly in a few months. But nothing as of now.

If we decide to set one up, Ricky will be sure to let everyone know.
