Ive said this before and Ill say it again. You just ruined a Mclaren by putting Iforgery wheels on it . What a shame, the owner couldnt spend another G and buy HRE wheels. What a f-in Loser

The car looks super hot. Probably the best looking SLR I've seen. I agree that if I had the cash to buy this thing, I'd get the best wheels on the market. Certainly not one with a sketchy history. None-the-less, the car is hot. It's not like the car has some Zenetti or ADR wheels.

I've had much better experiences with the customer service at iForged than HRE. HRE seems to think that they are doing me a favor by selling me their wheels. They also take days to respond to emails. SLR owner might buy iForged over HRE for the same reason.

I agree ... black wheels, YUCK.

Who buys a $400,000 car and then takes the awesome turbine stock wheels off for black rims?!?

Who cares about the rims! Rims these days are all about "whats in" style. They're just like shoes, jeans or a purse, the look may be hot now, but in a few months, something better comes along and we say what the hell was I thinking?
