Default Iforged Question?

I have been waiting for 6 months to receive one rim (20x13 swift) from Iforged. Is this normal? I have talked with Vincent and I am starting to think I am getting the standard response..."It will ship next week".

Am I overlooking the complexity of building a rim? Are other members waiting the same amount of time?

Thanks, Marco

I include a picture of my car. I have three out of the four rims. I am happy with the wheels but need the fourth.

Dude, you have much more patience than me. I was thinking of going Iforged 18/19 set-up to clear a BBK...I'm having second thoughts now.

Yeah, I am kinda stuck with Iforge. I already invested a lot of money on the three rims that I have now. I did some other searches and found another person that has a BMW and waited one year for his rim to complete his set of four. I am starting to think the worst.

That is odd ... why missing a wheel ... I hope I don't have that issue.
My last 2 sets were just 6 weeks for each set.
My current set is 5 weeks and still waiting. I hope they are done by next week after SEMA.
Good luck!!!

-Mike

I remember a rash of very bad I forged threads when I first started lurking here about 5 years ago. Long waits, wrong orders, and mismatched parts. Everyone back then was told that the problem would be fixed next week. I hoped that had changed.

8-10 weeks for me, but Vince told me that so I was ok with it. I also got a killer deal.

6 months seems excessive though

Ok, I am now tlod the wheel will ship out next week. They are planning on Tuesday for shipment. I will keep my fingers crossed. If I do get the rim my car should be finished within a week or so. I will post final pictures when ready.
