Default New iFORGED Styles For 2005

Hey Guys,

I updated this thread with more styles as well as with great news from iFORGED. They have been developing a new forging processs since last spring/summer and have bought it to market.

This new forging process will allow a 4" lip on the Lexus GS with 3pc fitment!!!

This new forging is availible on the following models only in 19 & 20inch 3piece applications:

Essen (mesh)
Trial (5-spoke)
Daytona (split multi spoke)
Variant (turned 5-spoke)

ESSEN in Hyper-Graphite


TRIAL in Hi-Polished


DAYTONA in Hi-Polished


VARIANT in Hi-Polished



The other new styles are availible with the standard forging (3" lip on Lexus GS in 3pc fitment)

EMOTION - mesh
CLASSIC - 5 spoke split
EQUIP - 7 Spoke split (2pc Non rivet ONLY)

EMOTION in Hyper Graphite


CLASSIC in Hyper Graphite


EQUIP in BRUSHED ALUMINUM - 2pc Non Rivet ONLY



DAYTONA on an E39 5 series 20x8.5 / 20x10 Anthracite Finish (5inch LIP)



ESSEN on a E39 5 series 20x8.5 / 20x10 Antracite Finish


UPDATE: For those that prefer the classic "STEP-LIP" look, now availible in 20x8 / 20x9.5. Featured here on a widebody Audi A4

The second one looks pretty niche the first seems very similar to a lot of other wheels.

I love the first one. That finish is pretty nice but I was thinking maybe a high polished or brushed aluminum. Also If I were to go the high polished route how tough are they to keep clean. Is there a clear coat that can be put on it and how is the quality of that? Thanks for the help D. These wheels are perfect

Jon, man, I thought you knew your wheels better than that! *lol* Granted they are both mesh designs...I guess you can say all mesh wheels look the same

They look more like the Breyton Spirits to me

Here's a pic of the 'Spirit



And here's the LM

Hey Seize, that applies to pretty much all Lexus apps (GS, LS, older SC), the SC430 rear lip will be more in the 4.5 + range.

The 1st Gen actually has a larger wheelwell than the 2nd, so it can accomodate slightly more aggressive offsets
