Just do a search online or visit the multiple links to various message boards that I posted over on LS2.com. They even got the boot off of a Corvette forum due to issues as well.
They do make some kick butt looking rims, but their QC sucks as does there customer service.

If so, do you have any pics of it?
All these damn wheels look soooooo good

yes, yes I do.... It's really not a grudge as much as it is wanting to stop others from being another victim of their shady business practices and quality. I don't take very kindly to those companies that screw people over and like to lie to cover things up. If anything think of it as a public service announcement to those that may not be informed about the way they do business 
BTW, you deleted part of my thread awhile ago that I posted in the sponsor feedback area. I will GLADLY stop posting my experiences in these rims threads if I can say my beef and post my research in that section w/o having the most important part of my thread deleted. The only issue here is that they are a sponsor, if they wouldn't be a sponsor it would be no big deal. I have posted the same thread on a bunch of other forums and this is the only forum that deleted part of it.....although this is the only forum that has iForged as a sponsor.....hmmm Personally, I couldn't deal with a sponsor that runs a business like that, but that's just me. I guess a certain Corvette forum felt the same way as I do because they got the boot.
I also talked to another forum member awhile ago that will remain nameless who has dealt with iForged a bunch of times and he had nothing but negative things to say about them as a company. Believe me, it's just not me, I'm just the only one who pipes up about it, that's all.
O well, I will try to stop the posting about it if that helps out. Although all I am trying to do is help the members make informed decisions before choosing a rim.

No, you made your point obviously clear the first 99 times you posted about it. Now you are just being a pain in the *** about it. This is the first time I've asked you to give it a rest, it just gets old. Drop the subject, move on. Someone will find your other threads if they search iForged, so enough already.
I've had plenty of bad deals/products in my life, but I also don't make it a mission to keep beating the dead horse about it.

I voted the sp500, that wheel looks good on anything. They all look good though. So, really you cant go wrong either way. I also like the 505a's so I guess it's all about how much you want to spend.

Have you thought about HRE wheels??? They have kick *** customer service. The stupid tire shop lost one of the rivets on my girlfreinds wheels and we called and asked to buy one and they sent us a whole bag of them about 25 of them for free. Here a pic of them on her car there 547R's 18X10.5 in the rear and 18X9.5 in the front

Here's another idea... 18" Profil 5S. One of my personal favorites
