RIMS are coming for my R230!
I just got back from the IForged headquarters, where I placed my order for a set of 20" IForged Sprint in brushed alumuinum for my Brilliant Silver R230. I did 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear. What tire brand and size/width would you guys recommend to somewhat maintain the ride and prevent rubbing? I will post pics of my car as soon as the rims are on, which should be in about 6 weeks.

1) IFORGED uses the same finishing center as HRE (it's in Santa Ana, CA)
2) IFORGED headquarters is minutes from my house, so I got a chance to meet with the owners and see their work in the factory first-hand. It's also easy for me to enforce the warranty if something goes wrong.
3) IFORGED has expanded their factory and reduced production times significantly.
4) HRE is extremely expensive (brushed aluminum costs an extra $200 per wheel!!)
5) HRE did not give me the option to choose a custom lip size on the wheels, whereas IFORGED did (it's a little over 4.5" in the rear)
In 20x9 and 20x10.5 finished in brushed aluminum, these rims will run you about $4500, give or take a few hundred.

Did you get your wheels yet? I ordered HRE's and I'm waiting for them to arrive. 6 weeks sometimes they come in at 4 weeks. Can you post some pictures when you have them on, I wanted Sprints at one time too.

I ordered the HRE 540R's for my RS230. They have a promised delivery date of April 14-21. That is about a 6 week turnaround time...not terribly bad since I am having the tires fit and balanced before shipping here.
I will have the AMG wheels and tires up for sale next month, as a heads up, and will post in the classifieds later.
