WOW I've never heard that before. Anybody else have the same experience?

Just about any wheel can use them, and yes HRE uses adapters too


Here are the pics

That's interesting. I have noticed a front end oscillation problem in the rain above 55. I've been trying to figure out what it could be and have bought new tires, had multiple wheel balances, changed brake pads, etc. I have notice that when I wash the car, some water collects at the bottom of the inside of the wheel.

Has anyone else had front end oscillation/balance issues in heavy rain?

I experienced this problem for the first time over the weekend... VERY annoying. Although I absolutely love my wheels (on dry roads), I wont be buying another set because this. The groove in the center that collects the water is to add strength; but a major flaw in my opinion. Do most high-end wheels have a similar problem?

Not just iForged with this issue.... I've had that same problem with my HREs as well, but don't drive in the rain that often (heavy or otherwise - only when I get caught out in it going to a meet or show).

There is a thread on this issue somewhere - many 3 piece wheels have this problem depending on their design. edit - here it is https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...highlight=rain especially good explanation from our resident wheel engineer Bob in post #38

Although that ridge does add wheel strength, that is not the primary reason it is there... On wheels with large front lips, the tire has to be "reverse mounted" or, mounted from the backside of the wheel. To accomplish that, there has to be a "drop center" for the tire to drop into to allow it to slide over the rim during mounting... Wheels without a large lip account for this drop center where the spokes or face of the wheel attach. The drop center has to be within about 2 inches of the outermost face of the wheel, or else it has to be relocated to the backside of the wheel and reverse mounted.

it's a common problem on almost all 3 piece wheels. that's due to the design of the barrel. the thread by bob says it all

I bought those adaptors from IForged. They are very well designed. No need for a second hole with these adaptors. Personally, I think the fewer holes in my rims the better!

They jack wheel designs and pictures too . pretty nice wheels tho.

Ok that seems like a lot of work just to get new wheels why can't those aftermarket manufactures make their wheels fit like regular ones?

On another question...if I buy wheels from iforged will they send me those valve stems along with those TPMS and lug bolts so I can have it installed without running around trying to find the pieces to complete it?

Oh and does know what kind of TPMS Mercedes use on their cars? Especially 2008 models.

D2-AUTOSPORT

The lugs and tps adapters can be included. If you get 2pc modular or 3pc the valvestem is also included.

I don't know what you mean when you say what kind of TPS does MB use.

Stormwind

What I meant was the type of TPMS used as there are several different ones out there, I assume some are made out of different standards like being able to read actual pressure # and some only give out warning when tire pressure is low but no pressure numbers.

But if the wheel package includes all that it is less of an issue.

D2-AUTOSPORT

Oh ok gotcha, we have a 07 Rclass, I "think" I can see the pressure (I'll double check tomorrow)

i just received a set of "90 degree adaptors" and all they are are some metal clips, hardly worth $60 at all.

what i got is definitely not


so someone is bait and switching or false advertising. regardless i don't know how i'm supposed turn this clip thing into the pic above.

Stormwind

Dang that's no good. Can you post a few pics of what they sent you?
