Default All this iForged talk.......

Makes me want to show off my new shoes! They just arrived Wednesday. iForged Aero's, 18x9.5F and 19x11R. Brushed aluminum centers. I havent ever seen that finish option on a vette so I figured I would give it a go, adn I wanted to be a little different. They are simply stunning in person! They are going to look freaking sweet on my '02 EB Z! Unfortunately it might be a few weeks before I get them on the car (stupid winter weather and crappy roads!! UGGHH!!!)

I am going to take this opportunity to give a shout out to Kenneth and the Mod City Crew, a supporting Vendor of this site, and who I bought my iForged wheels through. Simply the finest customer service I have ever come across on an internet transaction. Oh and one hell of a price to boot. So the old addage "you get what you pay for" does NOT apply to Kenneth and the Mod City. I paid the absolute lowest price I could find (Mod City really does beat anyone's pricing) and got one hell of a product and superior service for free. Thanks again Kenneth for everything!!!

I think that's the first I've ever seen the Aero's done with brushed spokes.

Looks great!

From deposit to delivery to my door, 12.5 AGONIZING weeks LOL! I had a feeling when I ordered them that it would be 10 weeks, so I was "mentally" prepared. But it didnt help. Good thing it is winter I cant (wont) drive the car anyway in this weather.

Aw snap ! I have been considering getting the Aero's with the brushed centers. I could not find a picture of how they would look anywhere ! They are going to look smoking on your car, and i'm jealous you got them before I had a chance to.....

Be sure to post pics !
