what do you people think about i forged wheels are they strong?

Nice wheels. Strength and weight are also on the better than average side. Unfortunately, I have heard nothing but bad things about the service tho.

and I managed to bend two of my 18 inch Iforged wheels! My 19 inch HRE's have taken MAJOR hits...no bends. While the 18 inch Iforged wheels were bent...and I didnt even know where I bent them! Save up....get good wheels.

i knew someone who had 19" i forged wheels on an m3 and said swore by said that he had other wheels and they all bent or cracked and i live in ny the city of pot holes. and the wheels arent cheap there costing me $3,100 i dont know how long ago did you buy the wheels?

when you get wheels with a lip....such as Iforged, HRE's, and others, the center has strength...while the lip has no structural integrity....susceptible to bends. Also, Iforged wheels have SPUN outers...again...not all that strong. Dealing with IForged is a joke. When you are buying wheels...they are friendly, helpful, and nice. When you have a problem with the wheels or need a repair....they are rude, avoid your calls/e-mails and are generally nasty. In the end...I had to get my lawyer involved in order to get my defective wheels repaired.

they are all nice when you buy computer parts but when you try to return them when defective, they are simply RUDE! or close down shop

Any wheel rims sections (called halves for 3 piece wheels) will bend when you hit it under the right condition. Properly inflated tire is what protests the rims and it is even more true for wheels with low profile tires.

There may be an exeption, but all 3 piece US custom wheel company uses spun forged halves. There are only a very tiny number of US suppliers for these halves (Company A or Company T) and many times we share the same suppliers. So what do you mean by "poor construction"? "Save up....get good wheels"?

Since you criticized so much about iForged halves, are you saying your HRE wheels do not use spun forged halves? Maybe you better examine them very very carefully. It may even surprise you that the wheel halves are interchangeable.
