Well, after 10 minutes of research look what I found....
DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!!! Just thought that if ANY info like this exists about aftermarket "parts" manufacturer it needs to be shared with potential CL customers.... Not such a good start, read below....I just copied this from Audiworld.com....


PLEASE BE CAREFUL -- read

if any of you have ordered intro forged wheels recently and have not yet received your order please contact me. introforged who is ran by vince wong used to run a company called custom efx which is not closed down due to fraud and economic crime. csi has sent information to the IPD to arrest and prosecute this guy. he had scammed us for $27,000 and many more for $2500 or so. I have contacted intro wheels who introforge uses as a parent company. the owner of intro says that they have never given permission to vince for using their name and that they will not fill any of his recnt orders due to suspicious activities. be warned everyone. he has scammed 6 people from vwvortex, and some from dtm forums. he scammed us for $27k owes intro more than $10k, owes csi over $100k and can get you too. if any of you are a victim of this scum bag i can give you the phone number of the detective on who is investigating him. becareful of this guy vince, he talks big, acts like a big shot and is good at talking you into beleiving him or shifting his problems to someone else.

here is another one!



If you mean "Intro Forged Wheels" (now going by "iForged USA).... RUN, and RUN fast! After 1001 head aches, phone calls, lawyer, the Irvine fraud and criminal investigations dept, etc etc etc. I finally got my $$ back.

Im not going to go into full details about it but I HIGHLY suggest NOT dealing with them at all!! People from just about every larger forum based site out there have had problems with them! Wrong wheels, crappy build, messed up finishes, wrong bolt patterns, wrong hubs, passing off USED PARTS as new!! Search the Acura, VW, Audi, or Porsche forums and you will find something about this shop!

Here is a link to mine and a few other VW guys nightmare. Yes the thread ended up being almost 20 pages but there is a ton a reasons why! If you REALLY want to know what these guys are all about, how they treated us, and esp what type of history they have (police and fraud wise) you'll look over every page! It esp get good on page 13! That is when the REAL truth comes out!

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=220797&page=1

I will not go back and forth with any of Vinces friends or partners that jump into this thread. There is a small group of them that have like 4 different names each from the different sites and pretend like they are customers etc and stick up for them left and right.

lex430, I am just posting this info b/c you asked if anyone was familiar with them. ALL of my details are strictly from my personal dealings on this. NOT one word of it is second hand! I wouldn't wish what I went through with these guys / shop on anyone! Please be careful...
