Default Iforged Comparasion

is Iforged a good brand?
a friend of mine from discount tires said, we dont carry iforged rims because they get's bad customer rating because their rims tend to leak and with it being a 3 piece, it makes it worst.
so to my fellow members the real question is.
is Iforged really a bad product and is it worth it compare to Works Volks and etc..?

I've owned my fair share of higher end wheels and besides HRE, I think Iforged makes some quality wheels.

iForged wheels are good quality. But you seem skeptical. Just go for WORK wheels

looks like HRE replica's? just a thought.

if you like them, and they're within your price range, i don't see why not. if there are any issues with those rims arising from manufacturing defects, you can always have the manufacturer remedy those defects.

btw, it's "TEIN", not "TIEN". /OT

IFORGED are very good rims, people who have them have been very happy with their quality, maybe 360forged is the shxt they are talking about. discount tires don't sell high end brand wheels, you have to find another authorized dealer to buy iforged. and for WORK wheels you can't go wrong, i had coupe sets of works already, they are not light weight but very strong, the wheels been hit number of times still no bent or anything, the finish on the face is also very high quality, year and half of freeway driving every week, hardly stone chip, you make your choice.

yeah i was thinking the same.... discount tires sell/ deal with custom order wheels? lol

anyways... i havent own a set of iforged but from what i know they are a very good company... you cant find any car name and model that iforged hasnt built a wheel for....

as for leakage.... you should be able to see the seal before you throw on the tires.... if it looks like its not good then send them back it should cost you anything for them to fix their mistake

Seriously you cant wrong with high-end wheels, like iForged, Lowenhart, HRE's, works etc. You get what you pay for, thats quality. All my wheels have been 3 pieces my whole life and never had any issue's with them. Seriously im all about quality, spending from 15K dollar wheels(24's lowenhart) to iForged to Strasse Forged. Dont be afraid to try out something cause what ppl say. its all about your own taste that helps you understand whats good for yourself.
