Welcome to the forum Andi!!

Here is a link to a place that sells tire and wheel setups. There are a lot more places that sell tires and wheels but, this is a good place to look at and get some ideas on what you might like.

Hi Andi,

I just had some problems with iforge with fitment and delivery issues.
Basically they didn't produce the correct offset after many conversations. The biggest problem is delivery. . .they don't!
This is only my personal opinion. If you go with iforge I wish you better luck then I had.

EFI, that's correct!
I lost all faith in them (iforge). Even if I did wait for whatever time it took I was concerned what would happen if there was an issue with the wheels after delivery. If the customer service was this bad before the sale. how would it be after?
Just my experience with them. Could be different with someone else.

Understood. Sorry to hear you ran into problems. Let me know if you ever decide to give it another shot and I'll make sure you get squared.

I had the same problem. After waiting for about 4 months, I went with Motorsports rims. I will try my luck with Dave(EFI-1) this time as soon as I get some $$. Several forum members have great service with Dave

Andi, Where are you located in Germany? Here's a photo of the Z06 Motorsports. Shipping cost was outrageous and I think in your case, you will have to pay customs (?%) and Mwstr tax (16%).

Thanks Mike! The ride is looking awesome....I'd like to see how the Wilwoods fit in there if you ever get some upclose pics. I'm considering the Stoptech BB kit as well as the Baer's, but if you tell me you like those Wilwoods, I might be interested in looking into that as well. My new wheels are cut for big brakes.

Sports Dude, keep me posted.

Aloha, Dave

Thanks brother. I love the Wilwoods. They will put you through the windshield. My first choice was AP but they wont fit since I'm runnning the 10" up front. I went to put the 4 piston on th rear and they weren't even close to fitting. It barely clears the stock set up with the 11's in back. If you can clear I would DEFINATLEY go for the AP racing 6/4 piston. They are huge.

Your set up is what I was looking into from WCC. What sizes are you running? It also looks like you have the Eradispeeds on your car without any clearance issues. Your car looks great!

Hi Dave!!

I'm very suprised about your offers and the comments about the other users. I believe, after the many postings from the people here, that you will be the right man for helping me in this problem.
Now my question: Can you give me an offer of the Iforged New Classics and Evolutions in 19"/20" ? How long is the delivery time? I`m very interesting of getting them the next time because I`m waiting very long to get some.

My E-Mail: andreas.servos@web.de
Thanks,
Andi

Andi, shoot me some mail at dave@efiunlimited.com and I'll point you in the right direction. Until I become a forum vendor, I'll keep prices to email only. I'll need the widths you're looking for as well as the finish. Wait time from iForged is approximately 4-6 weeks and they require a 50% deposit up front for construction of your custom wheels.

Aloha, Dave
