They did a groupbuy over at z06vette.com that got screwed up. Their customer service was not great when I bought mine (about 8months ago) but the wheels did turn up and they will be everything you expect +some. You can go ahead and buy with confidence...just dont expect updates on the progress and be willing to wait around 2months for them to make them.

I havent heard great things about their customer service. If you are interested in ordering contact forum member "EFI-I". He has a contact with i-forged and seems to have the best prices around. Send him a PM and see what he can do for you.

I have a set of the iForged Evolution wheels (see sig) and concur with their poor customer service; however, the wheels are exceptional! Dave Hayashi (EFI Unlimited) is a dealer for iForged, based in Hawaii, and can get you great pricing. Dave's a great guy to deal with. Mike

As others have mentioned, contact "EFI-I" I know he is an Iforged dealer, or at least has a contact. I have the Aero's and love them. They are pretty much the exact same wheel as HRE makes, but at a much better price. Good luck to you!

LAYNLOW, There customer service is the worst I've/Me have ever seen. 
Lost wheels, finished all jacked up, and wait wait we sent them no answer out of town etc etc. Now on to the main part - the wheels - They are the best I've/Me have ever seen!!! 
You must deal with EFI let him take care of it all, I did'nt. So learn from me, EFI won't let the stuff I had to deal with happen. I'm from the GP on the Z06 forum. This was just last Nov. I hope they have improved their CS..........

). They stalled for months...waiting on parts, ..............reassembling.........waitn g on clearcoat........yada..yada.... .......Then Vince Wong ( Iforge VP) refused to return them.
Yes..REFUSED!
They even refused after contact by my attorney - my Brother.
I was finally able to have them returned by contacting the Pres. of iForge and threatening a fraud complaint through the California Attorney General's Office.
Nice people.

I am here to clear a few things up about our past. We never sold on this forum before. We had a dealer Robert Conrad at Game Over Racing was our rep. In the beginning we had problems with fitments because of the huge lips we tried to accomplish. We also had problems with Game Over Racing not paying for completed wheels. We had inventory of Vette wheels, that we could not ship to customers, because we were not paid for them. We recently finally settled out of court with Robert Conrad at Game Over Racing just recently. We would love to advertise once again on Corvete Forum and deal through our authorized vette dealers such as Wheels Boutique, West Coast Corvette, and EF1 in Hawaii. I know a few customers had problems with us before, but everyone who has dealt with our dealers in the past has had a positive outcome. We do offer great wheels at an affordable price.

Hmmm they screwed up again over at z06.com? lol
I was on the first GP here some time ago. I was a total mess. I heard they were getting better, but I would not buy anything from them again right now. I think they have some negative reputations on some other boards as well. The wheels, themselves are top notch, but their customer rep is deplorable.

Thanks for all of the kind words all. I've had very good dealings with Vince and the gang at iForged. Every big wheel producing company has hang ups here and there......Just as in everything else, making sure it comes out right is the key.
I plan on becoming a forum vendor here shortly....as soon as my new site is up and running.
Aloha, Dave

Are you the customer who ordered through Discount Tire in IL. I do apologize for the miscommunication between the store and us the manufacture about how to build you wheels to clear the brake systems. In the future please deal with more people like EFI or D2Autosport.

I am unhappy with their product and service. I recently purchased rims from iforged. The centers are chrome and are flaking from thge inside - out. I was told by iforged, they do not warranty the area around the lug holes & center cap area. I have had other types of chrome wheels which had dings/dents/rough abbrations and they have nevered peeled or flaked. I can peel this with my fingers.
