You can order the Intros without the rivets. They are just cosmetic on a welded two-piece wheel. I think the set is $100 less if you order them without rivets (actually ARP bolts)

I also have the Intro GT Sports on my '69, as my car is on their site

Thanks for the info, Tony. Those Intros look real good on your '69.

I'm after a split spoke design, though, like the iForged Evolution just without the bolts/rivets. From their website it appears that they have a Lightweight Series (LS) wheel coming soon that might be what I'm looking for. The description is as follows:

LS Lightweight Series: This series is made up of wheels that are manufactured using the Rotary Forging technology to created an extremely lightweight wheel. The lightweight series consits of one piece forged wheels for use on the drag strip, autocross, road courses, as well as daily street driving. The LS series will be first introduced in 17" and 18" fitment applications, and then expanded to 19",20", and 22" fitments.
I emailed them for design info and availability (currently the site just says "coming soon"). If I hear back from them I'll relay the info.

I just wanted to say that be prepared for a long wait. I waited over 17 weeks last summer and the wheels were not built correctly. They told me they would resolve the problem over the winter time so I could at least drive the car for part of the summer. Now they are trying to charge me to fix the wheels and build them to the specs I had actually ordered.

You may have better luck by ordering through a vendor that sells iForged wheels and get problems resolved for you rather than taking on iForged on your own if you have problems.

They are really nice wheels, not as nice as HRE, but close and I get a lot of compliments but iForged customer service is by far the worst of any company I have ever dealt with.

I heard the same. I ordered mine from Wheels Boutique and he told me that it is not a good idea to oreder them directly from Iforged. They were even about 150.00 cheaper through them .

I was told around 30-45 days. We'll see what happens.
