Niiice. Another one gets the iForged bug.
I originally had the Boyd Coddington "tuned" wheels. They were garbage.
6 weeks later I had a set of 18" iForged Senekas on my living room floor.
It was tough to even put them on my car. My living room looked like a million bucks with them sitting there. You can't touch the quality of these wheels IMO. HRE wheels are nice, but aren't worth the extra cash. I also feel iForged has a better style.
Congrats on the purchase. They scream attention wherever you go. So get ready to be asked questions, and recieve a **** load of compliments!

Congrats on the wheels! 
Get ready to to have people ask you about them at every gas station. 
Just currious, did you specify those offsets or are they what Vince gave you? (They should fit fine BTW)
When I got mine 3 yrs ago chrome was not an option. You said they were Full chrome.......... is that the centers and outer lip? Others have only the center chromed. Was the inner barrel being chromed not an option? I would want that too as the thin spokes allow you to see very well into the wheels as you can see.
I ended up polishing my inner barrels by hand but having the inner barrels chromed instead would be much easer to to keep clean.
Now mount those sum bitches on your car and hit the local cruise strip!

Yeah, I have the lip and the centers chrome. Chroming the inner barrel was not an option and the recently did away with the option to have the inner barrel polished.
unfortunately, when I had them match mounted and road force balanced it discovered I had one bad rim (0.10" radial runout!) and one bad tire. So I had to send one rim back to Vince and had another tire sent to me from Tirerack. Those two rim/tire combos resulted in a lowest road force measure of 41lbs and 33lbs...which are too high for me. One of them was the fault of the rim (33 lb one) and the other the tire. I prefer to have them road forced to under 20 lbs....which the first two were both 11 lbs and under.
How did yours balance?? Did you have them match mounted and road force balanced? Unfortunately w/o getting them match mounted and road force balanced you will never know if you have a bad rim/tire because they will balance up fine, but as soon as a load gets applied (when you drive on it) is when they will seem out of balance.
How the heck did you polish your inner barrels so well?? What did you use?
