Just helping Derek answer some questions.

Would I be able to get the new centercaps put on my wheels that are currently in production?

I knew they were going to be big when we went over some of the specs but dude these are BIGGER than i ever expected. I guess sometimes you say 4 inches and its like wow but when you actually see it, you really appreciate what that extra inch does for a wheel, its just bananas man...and i can't lie i love the rear lip but its the front that i love much more.....

His Rear lip is the same as the Gettin rear but with his spoke design its just looks so much bigger and full but the front is just huge any way you look at it . His front lip is what some have as rear lips on thier wheels...HRE has a 3inch rear lip on a 20x10 standard, D's front is 3.25 inches , thats just crazy man..as far as fitting brakes. we'll find out soon enough..

now to a much important question? When will we see these on the car?

I like those new engraved caps too. Can we get a price on em or a GB? Seriously... I want some of the new style. Mine came looking beat up. I have the high polished too.

Wow Derrick,
I have been racking my brains trying to decise which wheel to get, now you come along and make it worse. Sweet wheels, very sweet. The bigger the lips the sweeter the kiss.

The iFORGED are about 4-8 weeks for standard finishes (like polished). We can order you a set of these at any given time. Send a email whenever you are ready.

I don't really think the key is "beating" anything per se, more importantly, there is a viable option for those that want a strong 5 spoke and a huge 4" or more lip!
