I Forged

I have decided to keep the beast for a few more years....Iam about to pull the trigger on some I Forged Swifts...19x8.5 and 19x10....brushed with a polished lip...I think it will look hot against the silver of the E55. Iam getting a great deal...a good Asian friend of mine (who has the exact same 2000 E55) had lunch with one of the owners (supposedly) so I think I am ready to order. Any comments on I Forged build quality are welcome. Any members with pics would be cool also. Thanks guys.

Jay

Do a search. There has been a lot of discussion on Iforged in the past few months.

I have a bunch of friends who have them in the LA area and the wheels are not bad. The finish of iforged wheels are not as good as HRE's. The weights are about the same as HRE 19's. The designs are similar. Pretty sturdy. I have had iforged senekas on my 01 s4. And have had hre 540r on my 97 supra tt. Having had both, the HRE were so much hotter. The only advantage is the price you will get for the iforged wheels. It won't be as expensive as HRE's. The only bad thing is their rep. They tend to lag and take a long time in making their wheels. Mine didn't take that long becuase my friend is good friends with Vince (owner) and Bruce at iforged. But it still look around 10-11 weeks!

Because of the wait time I have decided not to get them....Iam looking at a one piece forged 19x8.5 up front and 19x10 rear 23lbs. and 24.5lbs. respectively....I will post pics when I get them or inform you if I change my mind a hundred more times.

I wish I-Forged could make them to accept the Mercedes OEM center caps?!
