Default Donz or iFORGED?

I am deciding which to go with:

iFORGED REV's. AFTER tires, mounting it will cost me close to $3000. BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT rear and front Falken GR Beta FK-45.

or

Donz Colombo's WITH tires shipped, mounted, balanced, etc. close to $2500. Toyo tires.


Both are 19's, Fat Setup

WHICH?

well haveing had the donz and seeing them in person and the quality for the price they are a very nice option. but with either way you I do think you should match up your tires and not have different brands from fron to back..good luck

Thanks for the input BlueLex... adds more rocks into the Donz pile.

Do you know where the Donz are made and where the iFORGED are made? Japan, China, etc?

Also why is that? Not mixing tires?

Why are you doing two different brand of tires front and back? I dont think it will look right. Is it a size issue?

Tires, not wheels.......

I agree, two different brand/ tread patterns for brand new tires is cheesy. I vote for Iforged because they are forged.

Donz are made in different places (overseas in Asia) depending on the particular wheels. I believe iFORGED are made in Southern California.

Post some pics of what you are considering..that would help.

Maybe have both sets of wheels photochopped on your car so that you can decide what look u prefer.
