I too have heard countless horror stories from Iforged. All from random people to friends...Some got 2 different rear wheels widths, others ordered 18 inch wheels and got 19's and such.

Mine's black too, but it has metallic gold chips embedded in it. I picked the 840R with charcoal paint. I don't want to go with the black on black theme.

For the most part, I'm very happy with my Iforged wheels. The anthracite finish matches my techtite grey car very well, which is a huge plus. Like folks said, get a good dealer to handle any issues if you go with Iforged. I had an issue with mine, as they originally sent me the wrong backspacing on the rears. Derrick at D2Autosport stepped up to the plate and handled the situation like a champ. Great communication and his relationship with Iforged was key in expediting my order.
Finding the right dealer is the key. You will be taking a risk with any custom wheel. Remember, the key word is CUSTOM, and there are always risks regardless of the manufacturer.

I think you have mistaken my comment. I mean my car's black with gold metallic chips (designo mocha black). I picked 840R with charcoal paint to complment it.

I just bought a set of the 06 cls55 rims. I think they make the E55 still look stealthy, but better than stock.

I think I'm going with the HRE Comp 21s 19x9 up front and 19x10 rears. Any opinions on them fitting?? Also, where can i get the real life weight info on them? How about any comparison with them and the CLS55 rims?? Weight, flex, etc.??
