Default ICONZ Good or Bad?

I'm looking at getting a new set of wheels for my Z and was told these are junk? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Junk or not, be careful of the niche wheel suppliers....many go out of business, ignore warranties, or cannot supply replacement parts, leaving you stuck with a (set) of 3 good wheels...useless. The wheel industry is overpopulated right now, and many may not survive...stick with the more popular brands and you should be ok.

Lines you cant go wrong with, HRE, CCW, 360 Forged, Iforged, Forgeline, Vossen Forged

There are alot of fly by night companies but check around on the forum and you'll see these ones have really taken the cake. I sell a few of them but there are plenty of great Vendors on here that can take care of the ones I dont. Stay with the big names and with companies that do their own MANUFACTURING.

True Forged wheels are some of the best quality wheels money can buy. And you can't beat the pricing. They are made with only the highest quality materials and although they are new to the corvette community the company has been around for years just mainly for highend euro cars and especially in the mustang community they are spoken very highly of with absolutely none of the issues/nightmares you hear about with most of these other 3pc wheel companies that have been popping up. And they are manufactured at the same plant as iforged and made in the USA. Plus you can get them for about the same price a CCWs but they are fully custom made 3pc wheels. There is not another 3pc wheel company that can even come close to the price of the True Forged wheels and most others are inferior in quality compared to Trueforged.

I am logged in under my other account but I am the only authorized dealer of Trueforged wheels and can offer the best deals

Our vendor name on these forums is Fine Tuned Motorsports. And to anyone who is interested feel free to call me at anytime if you have any questions or interest and so we can tell you all about our killer pricing.

Thanks

and we apologize we are in the process of getting our website up and running but you can check out all of our wheels at trueforgedwheels.com

JUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND YOU"LL SEE THE LINES WHICH ARE DOING WELL. FLY BY FORGED COMPANIES ARE A DIME A DOZEN MY FRIEND.


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BEST OF LUCK ON WHATEVER WHEELS YOU DO DECIDE ON GOING WITH!!!
