Yea I'm getting mixed messages about iforged. Did a little googling on them,some say they have corrected the issues. I only want to purchase wheels once that's why I'm investing in a good set.

Then look no further than HRE out of the style you're going for. All the other brands mentioned - aside from BBS and the other legitimate companies that have been around for many years - aren't worth squat (ADV1/COR/Vossen/insert-Chinese-made-rebranded-wheels-here).

I personally like my Vossen's and do not have any complaints about them,I am on my scond pair and haven't had an issue.. I love the way they look,I have several friends that are running them and they also love them and haven't had a single issue either.. I have had some of the "big" names in the past (HRE,GFG,BBS etc) and I don't miss them at all.. I'm sure most wheel companies have had issues in the past..Some people love them and some people don't,it boils down to what YOU like and choose..

Look up the name "Lenso" and tell me how you feel about paying for all that marketing.

Look up any brand name wheel with crack after it there's horror stories on all. Go with what you like honestly I haven had a single issue with my vossens either and our roads here in Oklahoma suck and I've hit some big pot holes no issues.

Yes, good to see there are some people on MBWorld that are against ADV.1 and other "trendy" wheel companies.
ADV.1 is notorious for crap quality wheels with crap customer service. If you have 5K to drop on wheels, I'd look into BBS, Volk, Work, Weds, HRE, Klassen, etc.
I know a company that deals with iForged on a daily basis and they vouch for their wheels. I believe Forgestar is iForged's sister company, so might want to look into that relationship, etc.
Edit: 360 Forged is another overpriced wheel company from what I've heard. MORR, Rennen, Rotiform, are solid wheels from what I've heard and read online.

Seriously......Search Jordan/Miguel/ADV1/360forged on here and see what you get???? LOL
Do you know when a companies reputation gets better?
When you actually have happy customers vouch for you and recommend your product to their friends.
And the only ones who have vouched for ADV1 is people that work for them (Like Legitlifestyle)
When you have developed a successful reputation then you can align yourselves with the likes of HRE, BBS, Volk, Rays etc...
Until then continue to act like a baller. Hey your making money right? Hand over your hard earned cash to a kid with a degree in marketing who all he did was take your phone call.
Ironic you call Miami and your wheels ship out from MHT in California?
If you buy wheels for the baller lifestyle and marketing scheme (when they should be putting that money into like R&D and overhead), then you are truly an idiot. Im sorry if it comes off harsh but its my opinion.
It will be ten years before i even consider buying anything from ADV1 or is it MHT? Truth be told ADV1 doesn't have the reputation that the wheels above have.
Dont trust anyone making wheels from Miami............That includes COR, Strasse, ADV1, and im sure many more i've left out.
How is possible that so many wheel manufacturers are from the same are in the furthest point in the country? How strategic is that? I guess its bc Miami is a wheel manufacturing mecca or its capital of scam artists. Dont you watch America Most Wanted, Miami Vice, Cocaine Cowboys. You think these people are true manufacturers or are they leisure suit larry in disguise?
Come on man wake up

People need to do research into the approval and safety certifications of wheel companies. Especially the elusive TUV stamp approval. Stop falling for pretty wheels on exotics in nicely edited photos.

I see what Moosejaw is saying. I've seen cracked COR and ADV1's on other forums. I would never buy either of those brands!! Just be careful and do your research. Volk, BBS and HRE are great wheels, but there are other people out there that make good wheels as well. Just because someone hasn't been around for 20-30 years doesn't mean they don't have a quality product. Everyone started some where.... I can assure you HRE didn't have the facility they have today on day 1. The BC wheels are made in Taiwan but they aren't hiding the fact and after owing a set I can say I was happy. I also owned a set of BBS LM's which were nice but for the price I was just as happy with the BC's. My E55 is getting a set of Brada BR10 wheels 
I just placed the order about a week ago. I have high hopes for them and after speaking with them personally I don't think i'll be disappointed.
BC HB29's on my E90 M3
