FM5's hands down! Great light weight 3 piece racing wheel.

Fikse also has great customer service.

Peace,
Craig.

I regret that I didn't buy Fikse, I ordered a set of 19x9.5/20x11 Iforged Aero 6 weeks ago, and still waiting..... The main reason to chose Iforged was that they are chromed, I'm tired of the cleaning after thee years with polished rims...

I didn't know about the history of Iforged... And now I'm scared

I heard about the history before I bought my IForged but had zero problems. The history I heard was contained to the early beginings of IForged when the company was still new. I did have to wait a month or so before they were shipped out but I was told about that up front. I couldnt have been more pleased with my buying experience or the product.

I also had problems with their customer service, but I'm not going to bitch. I did that to them directly, but this was a long time ago. I'm very happy with the finished product.

All the quality of the other brands, but without the attitude/antiquated look of Fikse and the QC issues/ridiculous lead times of iForged.

You're going to find polished finishes on most of these wheels.

my iForged Aeros have chrome centers, polished hoops. I believe you can get CCW in chrome also. The Fikse techni-polish holds up well for daily drivers also.

All are very very nice.Technically speaking I like the SP500's on Camaros and the FM5's on Birds but i just think your car would look awsome with the iForged. Your car will look very nice which ever you choose

If you can, they dont list it on their website as a finish option.
