Angry Avenues to make Iforged accountable?

As some of you may know the wheels I bought from Iforged are pieces of ****! The right front was made incorrectly and is not round therefore cannot be balanced. The clear coat from all 4 wheels is almost completely gone. Lastly the rears rub over bumps and I cannot put anyone in the backseat. At this point I just coughed up $3k and bought some SSR GT3's so I can once again enjoy my car. I have contacted my CC company and they will see what they can do but it has been past 60 days. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and another California state fraud service. What else can be done next to using my corporate attorney to get these replaced, fixed, or my money back?
Thanks
P.S. As expected Iforged will not cooperate or honor their warranty

Time and time again past Iforged owners have watned people to stay away from Iforged products.

I don't know why people don't take their advice. BlackC230Coupe, you have been warned.

Well, i have heard some good things about Iforged also. It somehow seems the people that have problems with them are only for Mercedes applications. People on other boards had a good experience with Iforged. People have also had trouble with HRE on other boards as well.

So, when are we going to hear your "horrid" story... (that is, when are you throwing yourself into the clutches of the horrible forged????)

they flat out suck, and MANY other people on other forums have had the EXACT same problems if not more. Just go and ask any forum. Like youve been told, you have been warned. Dont come crying on the forums when you get screwed by them. Some people will never learn though.

Thanks, i am currently not in the market for probably another month and a half. But when the time comes i will see what ur guy can do.


Its amazing how people think HRE are so superior to all other wheels. They to have had there handful of problems. Dont get me wrong though, i still think there one of the best wheels out there. People i have known with Iforged had had nothing but great things to say about them, and the quality of them was on par with HRE when side by side. If we all went for a company that has never had a problem with anything, i dont think any of us would be driving a Mercedes.

my brother has iforged rims and they are good on his car (Z06). I talked to my brother about iforged and he told me when the company started out, they did not make the rims well so they started off with a bad rep. But now its getting better i heard.
