I have Iforged on my '08, and the quality is not there. (they look awesome, but they are soft). Oh yeah, customer service sucks!
I had CCWs on my '04, and they were awesome wheels. Also, the build time, customer service, and quality were the best.

That statement should hold weight from a customer that has had both..

I very rarely hear good things about I Forged service

I also own a set of iForged Evolution wheels and CCW C14 Corsair wheels - the quality and customer service of CCW is far superior! You also need centering rings for the iForged wheels - not necessary for the CCWs.

From my experience; here is a quick reference chart to some of the wheel manufacturers:

CCW - Predominate porfolio of 1 piece high quality forged wheels with an A+ product and A+ customer service. Benefits are quick delivery time and they are always right the first time. Pricing is fair to moderate.

Forgeline - Extensive portfolio of 3 piece high quality forged wheels with A+ products and A+ customer service. Delivery time is approximately 8-12 weeks with extensive wheel customization available. Pricing is moderate to high.

HRE - Extensive portfolio of 3 piece high quality A++ custom forged wheels and 1 piece forged wheels for limited vehicle platforms such as Porsche. Considered the Premier original developer of the 3 piece wheel. The oldest and most recognized "blue chips" wheel company in the country. Delivery time is approximately 8-12 weeks with moderate wheels customization service available; not as extensive with regard to customizing services as Forgeline. Quality is outstanding. Customer Service and warranty is considered the industry "blue chip" standard. Pricing is High.

Iforged - Extensive portfolio of sometimes questionable quality 3 piece and some limited 1 piece forged wheels. Considered to have the worst customer service in the entire wheel industry. If you receive your wheels in 4 months from order and they are correct; consider yourself lucky. If you have a problem when your wheels arrive; consult a cardiologist immediatley as you will need one. Pricing is moderate to High with questionable wheel finishing quality which is hit or miss.

The above has been my personal experiece.
