Default Let's see the 17" iForged!!

I'm thinking of going with a 17x8/17x10 iForged combo but I can't decide which model or color to go with. I have 20" Emotions on my BMW that are silver centers with all chrome barrels. I think they look really good on my black car with the chrome lips giving them just the right amount of shine. But for the TA I was thinking about maybe going with hyper gunmetal for the centers and a polished lip. Any pictures of some 17's would be greatly appreciated!!

I think the only one I've seen with 17 Iforged was Mighty Mouse you should check his pics.

why not a little bigger 17×9.5 front and 18×10.5 rear they will look better.

I looked through his pics in the for sale section. I agree the 18's would look better but I was just thinking about saving as much weight as possible. And the 17" drag radial is easier to come by than an 18".

Because iForged only carries 8" and 10" widths for 17" wheels. These are 2-piece construction only.

I can put you into a set of 17" iForged for under $2K most likely, brand new. I'm an authorized distributor for them.

Your $1700 price is still fair. Shipping on a set of bare wheels is $100-120, plus your tires, plus mounting/balancing for them.

I can do new 17x8 and 17x10 iForged for $1950 plus shipping, plus the dreaded 2+ month waiting period. Impulse buyers should jump on M-M's offer
