you work for iforged? how do you know? the 2.5" info is on the old style 2pc setup i believe, which has less lip size possible than the new forging technology inherently from what i read

Yes I do work for iForged. The new forging will give you an inch of lip extra then the older forging. So a 1.5" lip now becomes 2.5" which will clear BBK. You can go up to 2.75" lip, and then after than you will not clear bbk. We also have new centercap options.
Just helping Derek answer some questions.

WOW!!!! I currently have full face chrome 20" rims and am set up for the car show circuit, but I'm looking to get some lighter, sportier wheels since getting turbocharged. I was looking at the Volk GTC's 19 x 8.5 fronts, and 19 x 10.5 rears, but it's at least a 3 MONTH wait!!!! What's the availability on the i-Forged, cuz they are the HOTNESS!!!!
