Do a search on Audizine for problems with forgestar and/or iforge and you will see that the rims have problems not to mention horrible customer service.

also do a search on iForge/Forgestar problems on BMW and other manufacturer forums and they are known for bad quality and horrendous customer service.

the wheels came unsatisfactory, and rather than give the company or supplier a chance to fix the situation, he refinished them at his own cost, then started an angry thread. He admitted as much that he was impatient about it.

the problem though is that they're are many more threads on other forums that complain about the forgestar rims. Those were just examples.
In the end it was still forgestars problem because the finish or drilling of the lug bolts was done horribly.

Load Rating
Since I've been still getting messages about a groupbuy I worked out on some Forgestar F14 19's or 20's I thought I would do a repost. The deal is still available for forum members. He told me to not disclose prices on open threads because he would get in trouble so PM me if you're still interested. Heres some pics if you don't know how they look
For Forged Rims I see most discussion in threads - as a general observation - about 'weight'. It seems that not so much attention is given to Load Rating for these / other lighter rims, or else that they are assumed to stand up to vehicle load factor demands, regardless of vehicle? If it fits it's ok to use??
S4 B8 vehicle weight is often brought up in different thread discussions, being high for it's size / class. With respect to Rim Load Rating therefore,
/ Is there a magic min Load Rating no. that should be used eg 1500lbs?
/ How does 1500lbs compare w/OEM (B8) stock Rim Load Rating?
/ Is such rating for Forged Rims, assuming primary objective 'for Track use' but perhaps on the lowish side, albeit ok, for daily use?
