Default need opinion on wheels .....

hey guys, need some adivce. Which wheels to purcahse ... I will be going with the stagger fitment of 20x8.5 and 20x10.5 1. Donzwheelz.com - Lucheese, ( eta - not available )
2. iforged.com - TechniK ( because request for chrome, takes couple of months ) 3. Diablo - http://www.fmetalwheels.com/main.html - F- Metal 2 ( 1 month to get ). I am leaning more towards the F-metal 2, due to the waiting process. Would love to hear you guys opinion. Thanx alot .... Tam

i say go with Iforged also...otherwise your rolling the dice with quality on the others...and the others look marketed more toward the Bling-Bling appeal which doesnt inspire confidence to me...

Most people here will say iforged because they know something about them. That's okay but tends to curve opinions toward them. Again, that's okay...can't go against forged multipiece wheels. My wheel shop speaks very highly of Donz wheels so they should be a safe buy if you like the look. The fmetal wheels by diablo, hard for me to get past the assoication with diablo. I have seen a few diablo's fade and peel.
Which one's do I vote for, iforged, of course.

If I had the money, I'd defintely go w/ the iForged. I'm rolling stock right now, but the iForged are definitely classy and styling wheels (maybe not as much "bling" as the others, but still definitely stands out). At least, IMHO.

Hey man, the Donz and Diablo wheels are nice, but IMO waayyyy too much money with not enough brand equity behind them.

iFORGED is of course a nice option. Another is Asanti, we ordered a set of 20" chrome AF118's on 5-9-05 and received them today!! Asanti is 3pc forged and made to order.

Feel free to SEND US A EMAIL , and we can go over your options!

Have a good one

Hey guys, Thank You for all you guys opinions. I loved the iForged - Technik look also, but I'm too impatient to wait for the wheels and send them out to get Chrome. Ended up buying the Forged Metal Wheels - F2 ... 3-peice Forged - Chrome. 20x8.5 and 20x10.5 wrap with dunlops 9000. Should be getting them in a couple of weeks. http://www.fmetalwheels.com/main.html
