Default Poll: Jline 20RL2 or Iforged Techniks for SMB GS?

Need help choosing between Jline wheel similar to BMW M3 wheel and Iforged Technik. Both options would be Staggered 19s in high polish for Spectra Blue GS400. Both wheels are 2pc forged and seem to be high quality.and comparably priced. JLine attached to this email w/ Techniks in following post

I dont know what lip size is on JLine but with iForged it is about 3-3.5" with that forging. I say go with iForged but be prepared to wait a while to get them. Not sure how long the wait is on JLine. But I have to say the iForged were worth every bit of the wait. I am extremely pleased with my iForged and havent had any of the problems that have been discussed, probably because I got them through D2Autosport. Strongly recommend you going to him for your wheel purchases

I agree, I've been eyeing Jlines myself, they've got a hot lineup...I've been anxious to see them on a GS.

It would be interesting to know how much of a rear lip they could offer on the Jlines though...

Hey Steve, with the current GB pricing, I'd have to vote iFORGED, however if you want something a little different than iFORGED, then try DPE.

Default Great feedback!! Thanks everyone for Jline support

I really appreciate the feedback. I think the photoshop work really did the trick for many - voting was 4 to 3 beforehand. I too have been leaning this way and with the iForged GB deadline, I decided to pass and go Jline. Will post pics in hopefully 6-8 weeks as I still must order and they're saying 4 week build time.

4 weeks isnt bad. Did you check out DPE? I have heard great things about this wheel maker and they are definately trying new things. Plus I have read their customer service is outstanding
