20" Iforged classic quality?

Hello all. I just saw these Iforged 20" classic for sale on the classifieds page and want know what do you think about these wheel.
https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-tires/250376-fs-iforged-classics-w211-offsets.html

For daily used, how does 20" ride quality and comfort?
What about Iforged classic quality?
These wheel seem to be a little different from Iforged website. On Iforged website, the classic model seem to have small bolts goes arround the wheel.

Any input is appreciated.
Thank you

I have a set of 20" rims on order, and will be selling my 19" set if you're interested. I'm in the Bay area, too.

I can't speak to the quality of iForged, but I can tell you that 19's are very close to the uncomfortable side for a daily driver. I wouldn't put 20's on, but there are a bunch of people that do.

If you're in your early 20s and don't mind being jiggled about like you're on a roller coaster, do it. But at the ripe old age of 35, 19's are my limit. The 18's that are on my car now are just about a perfect blend of looks and comfort, IMO.

Yes, I am one of those that have 20's on my ride as a daily driver. To be honest with you it is a bit harsh...especially on Bay Area roads! But 20's look so nice on a w211! I'm a pic ***** so here are some pics of my ride since Terry and Clayton decided to post pics .







My 20" VIP Modular VR05's are also for sale if your interested...although the longer it's taking me to sell them the less inclined I am to sell them...

As I PM you before, I loved you wheel. It's just a little bit more than i want to spend. Maybe If I see them in person, I might steal it off your car.
I did pm you with my offer. Let me know if you want to work something out.
I am in the jewelery business, maybe I can trade your wheel with some diamonds.

By the way, it's not for everyday drive. I only used for weekend.

Base from your picture, look like you live in the Evergreen area. Can we set up sometime to check out your wheel?

Thank for the input.

I've got 20in iForged Classics on my car, had them on for about 4 years now and have held up quite nicely, the polished lips do require alot of TLC though. I have the rivets on my wheels as the ones for sale do not. I only use my car on the weekends and the ride is a little harsher, but the look of 20s makes up for it.

I have ordered another set for a different look, this with chrome lips since they are soooo much easier to maintain.

Hope this helps.

i had iforged on my infiniti and i was happy with their quality... as far as the 20" being too big for a daily driver, i think it would be totally dependent on where you live and what places you frequent... with my driving habits and the road conditions (excellent) for where i live, it was an easy decision to go with 20"s (i think they complement the vehicle well and i havent noticed any drop of performance or comfort)...

I have 20s but on an e500. I think the airmatic helps. I was pleasantly surprised that the ride is still pretty good. I am not lowered now so maybe the extra suspension travel is helping. Once I am lowered, maybe things will change.

BTW, I am not in my 20s.

I dont know why people talk so badly of iforged but the wheels are good quality. Yes, they have copied some designs but who hasn't. There is only so many ways a wheel can look without someone saying they copied someone else.

The wheels are just like any other custom mulit piece wheel. They have got better finishners over the years and better manafacturing machines.

For the price, they are a good bet,

If you want a good deal send me a PM.

I ordered some 19" IForged Aeros for my 997. Because of some of the internet noise being pretty negative about iforged I had my tire/wheel guy spin them before mounting the tires. He said they were as true as any set he'd ever seen. I was relieved - and am happy with them to this day.
