Default Do iForged Aeros come without rivets?





I was sold the car with these wheels which I was told to be iForged Aeros.
However, the only pics of Aeros I've seen look like this:



They seem to look more like the TE-5s:


Not upset or anything, as I love the wheels, just want to know.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, IForged makes ones without the rivets. They're from the Monobloc Line

So the TE5 is just basically a monobloc Aero?

Wait, I think I posted the wrong wheel above. The Aero is available in 2 pc with hidden rivets. I think they're from the Formula Line. They don't have a pic of the rivetless ones on the site but I could have sworn I've seen the on other forums.

Hopefully D2Autosports can chime in and give us a definite answer.

Back in 2004-2005 approx, iFORGED used to make 2pc wheels without rivets. They no longer offer that option. From the pic you posted I THINK you have the older 2pc with no rivets.

Yes, they are the 2 piece Aeros. Don't worry, you have authentic Iforged wheels.

The rivets were not just hidden, they did not exist (on the 2-pc).

OK, thanks. Is there any way to tell for sure? Also, can these wheels be disassembled/reassembled? I am having a slow air leak and I think the problem may be with the wheel...

If there is a weld at the back of the wheel where the face meets the lip then its 2pc, if not its 1pc.

The wheel has to be sent back to iFORGED for repairs

ok. Would I contact iForged directly or go through a dealer such as yourself?
