Well it appears that one of my HRE's has developed a crack and is now leaking air. I thought about having it repaired but the wheels came on the car when I bought it and I have always bitched about the paint chipping on the rims. So I have decided to order some I-forged Swifts with Anthracite centers (dark grey) with chrome lips.
My question is this. I am currently running a 295/35/19 in the rear and a 265/35/18 in the front. The wheel sizes I am looking at ordering are 18 x 9.5 front and 19 x 10.5 rear. Will these sizes work with my current tires? I'm not sure what width the current rims on my car are although I am guessing that they are the sizes listed above.
Also I have heard I-forged customer service sucks. Is this true? How about quality wise on the wheels themseves?
Thanks for any info you can offer me.
The HRE's will be up for sale at a later date. I can still drive the car it just has a slow leak.
Tire size's will be fine. 9.5 with a 265 and a 10.5 with a 295 is the same width as the Z06's wheel/tires just different height. So again, tire size's are perfect. iForged CS sucks big time. For the last 2 weeks I have been dealing them and most of the time they are hard to get ahold of. If you do leave a message they dont call you back. Nice wheels, horrable CS.
I have HRE 540's with the same problem. I put $900.00 in new lips and paint last year and two of the wheels are chipping. They chipped at 14 months so they won't cover the paint. They told me they are now using a new process, instead of $60 and wheel they are charging $125 each. I went through the roof. I am so pissed at them right now I may never purchase from them again. $1200.00 wheels should not peel within a 14 month period. That's obsurd!

I run 275x35x18 on the 9.5 fronts, 295x35x18 on the 10.5 rears.
