Default My Experience with I-forged wheels

I purchased my wheels on 4-12-05 thru wheels direct online. I finally received all 4 wheels on 7-21-05 and when going to get my wheels put on they had sent me 3 wheels with a 2.5" lip and 1 wheel with a 1.5" lip. Now I had to send all 4 wheels back to I-forged for them to get fixed. Who knows how long this will take now. I-forged is trying to help me a little with a check for $300 for my troubles but what a hassle. I just want my wheels on my car. I've waited long enough.

Default Why did 4 wheels have to go back?

I would think just one wheel would need to be fixed. But it does make you wonder how drunk the person was that put this set together and shipped it.

Default I have heard just the same if not worse stories about HREs and then there is the banning of HREs...

By some auto clubs because of wheel failures.

Default Really, I knew about the banning by the Viper Groups.....

But overall I have never heard a bad thing about HRE's customer service. In fact when I called in they were not only willing to fix my issue but offered me a sweet deal on a better solution to my problem.

Default It will be interesting to see how the C-Series does....

The rest of their wheels are not designed for track use, the C-Series is.

Default I read that there was no truth to the Viper banning...

On Rennlist there was a long thread about HRE's with someone pointing out that they had been banned by Viper groups. But after people stopped taking that story as gospel and did some research, there was no evidence or merit to the story.
