This is mine:
Iforged Daytona 19x9 and 19x10
IForged has gone through ups and downs in popularity over the years. Back 20 years ago there were quality issues. I've personally seen sets with cracks in several places. Then they got better but then customer service issues were the big deal about 10 years ago. They would promise you wheels in 4 weeks but you wouldn't get them for 3 months.
A few people criticized them for being HRE knock-offs, which I think is silly.
They always looked good and recently, there have been no complaints that I have heard.
I hope lots of people post pics cause they are nice looking wheels.

You need the iForged TPMS adapters to run the TPMS for any 3 piece wheels. Most 1pc wheels have the valve stem hole on the face like the OEM wheels, but 3pc wheels have the valve stem hole on the inside barrel and usually a metal valve stem with a 90 degree bend so the tip comes out the front.

I need to post pics of my car in this post

Just a little FYI. I ran the iForged TPMS adapters for a few years. They loosened up to the point that they allowed the sensors to spin and slam against the rims, destroying all 4 sensors. After that experience I had the sensors banded to the rims. So far the bands have held up with no problems.
