Default Need Advice/Help: Iforged Wheels

Guys,

I'm about to pull the trigger on the Iforged Aero's for my 06 C6. I want to run F19x9.5 and R20x11. Can anyone provide details on BBK clearance, offsets, and tire sizes???

I have read some horror stories in the forums. I want to make sure they fit perfect.

thanks!!!!

Mine just shipped. I should have them on the car in a week or 2. There are not many tire options for that size. I ended up ordering Conti contact 3s off tire rack.

Can't speak to the rears as I run 13"s but I have 19x9.5 Aeros in the front with 0 issues. My car is about as low as you can get it as well.

I think the key is to order with somebody that knows what they are doing. D2 asked about a million questions and my wheels fit with absolutely no rubbing. If you think you are going to get these wheels quickly, think again. It takes forever.

Be prepared to wait three to four months. I ordered iForged on July 10 and they haven't shipped yet.

you mean, AFTER they beat up on the production line so that the parts/wheels actually roll off the line, right?

Can only account for personal experience, and contrary to the experiences others have had with iForged [wheels], ordered a set directly from iForged thru Vince Wong (Cal. office), wheels arrived 8 weeks as promised w/o any problems. The fit is perfect and the quality is most commendable however given to personal taste.

Suggest that you “thoroughly” explain as well as convey in writing – to ensure against any misunderstandings, to the salesperson your specifications regarding widths and offsets as to the particular stance (look) you prefer to ascribe to the vehicle. Best of luck.


PS: Order was placed in early January which may account for the experienced timeliness (u.s.) as opposed to the length others endure. Perhaps it’s an opportune time to place an order whereas it may be their slow season.
