They are damn good quality. I dont think you can go wrong with them. Many members have them and I dont ever recall the wheels breaking and such.

I'd put iforged on the same ranking as BBS, Works, etc as far as quality goes.

If they were to "break," they crack and not bend since they are forged right?

I have the iForged Aero's on my IS for over a year (high polish) and they have held up pretty well without any problems. Polishing the wheels can be a pain at times. I'm thinking one day I may get the Seneka's for my GS in a brushed aluminum finish.

matter of opinion...

to me iforged does not come close to BBS or Work's quality. i had the chance to see and compare the LM BBS (forged), Work Rezax II (forged) and iForged (forged) in person. if you see the barrel of the wheels you will know.

I have had 2 sets of them and driven in LOTS of different areas. They dont bend easliy, and they can take a pretty good beating. Of course they are not indestructable, but I have hit some pretty nasty stuff and been amazed that there was no issue!

I have real world expierience and they are pretty strong. I hope this sort of helps!

Iforged is made from T6061 Aluminum alloy correct? Is that the top grade for the wheel industry?

I think they stand up pretty well. Like Derrick said, they are not indestructable so in the right situation, they can bend/break. To be fair, many other wheels will have the same problem.

Just hope that nothing goes wrong with them. As good as their wheels are, their customer service is hit and miss.

Funny how the iForged line mimics the HRE line in so many ways...
