Default Work or iForged ?

Kind of debating my wheel set up right now. Some of you local DC/Nova guys have seen my car in person. I'm currently running Chrome Work Euroline DH's 19x9(F) +35, & 19x10(R) +35. The offset isn't very good & the chrome lips are jacked from the previous owner. The faces are completely perfect with no scratches. I was going for a VIP Inspired look at first, but my car is not clean enough to pull it off. My coworker has a set of 19"x9" & 19"x10" iForged (I think they're Aero's from the website) for sale. They are in perfect condition other than tires, and the price is almost a steal. I'm really debating on the change.

I could run some 20 or 25mm spacers on my current wheels, strip the chrome and polish the lips, replace the barrels for a better offset...or just buy these perfect iForged and sell the Eurolines for some good coin.

Anyways, thought I'd post a couple of pictures and get your input. The first pic is of my slab as it sits. The second pic is one of the iForged wheels. Ignore the dirt and dusty pictures. They are super clean with no rash, etc.

second pic is pretty big & photobucket is super slow sometimes. I'll just post a random iForged wheel below...

iForged is a "baller" wheel. Their quality is excellent, and their designs rival HRE IMO but at a lower price point. A lot of exotics, porsches, vipers, mkivs, and corvettes run iForged

Thanks for the input guys. I see a lot of Corvettes rolling on this specific
Aero Model. I've been looking at the iForged website today and really
like these. I'm going to buy them from my coworker and take some pics
for you guys. I guess I'll just wrap my current tires around these new
wheels and store my Eurolines until I know what to do with them.
I'm not a fan of Chrome but they came with the car. These iForged are
metallic silver with a polished lip. Chrome stains too easily and is a pain
to keep clean.

good call getting the iforged. Im sure you could unload the eurolines pretty easily, lots of vip-stylers these days. If they clear LS brakes I bet the 1st/2nd gen guys would be interested in those offsets.

+1 on the Iforged. Just be aware of the thinner spokes on those. You now need to address the brake upgrade issue sooner when you slap those on 'cause those wheels need some bling brakes to keep em company!

I've been thinking about this. The DH's are a monoblock style which really
cover the entire braking system. I'll keep my eyes open for a better
brake upgrade soon I'll probably pick these wheels up and have the
tires mounted by Wednesday. I'll post some pics soon.

Wow I don't think I've heard anyone use the words "baller" or "excellent quality" when referring to iforged. Not to say they don't make a good wheel but they've had there fair share of problems.

OP I'm a fan of DPE wheels.
