    Ok Guys,

    After a thread here and on 6 Speed I have narrowed my decision down to 5 Wheels. All of the options will have a gloss black center with a high polish lip.

    The options are:

    - Iforged Revs
    - Iforged Drifts
    - Iforged Essens
    - HRE 790
    - HRE 840

    My Car is a Nero Daytona (Metallic Black) F430 Coupe with limo tint

    Images will follow

    Your opinions are much appreciated .

    Keep 'em standard! You are unlikely to recoup the cost upon resale and most buyers want standard wheels (I didn't entertain aftermarket wheels when I was looking).

    Farris,

    you could also go with the Novitec NF3 wheels which are 3 piece and the centers can be painted black. After a while i seem to think these forged wheels like HRE and iForged are beginning to look cheap.

    And WTF is the owner of the red 430 doing with the black door edge guards? Nasty!

    Some great pictures! I am getting ready to paint the centers of my speedlines on my red 360 Satin Black, while retaining the polished outer lip. I think it compliments the satin black highlights of the Challeng grill and accents well. I'll post some pics.

    IForged are POS imo. I had a set and the powdercoated centers were flaking off, the lips had blemishes, etc. If you want to go with good solid wheels...kinesis or Fikse.... everyone else is all about the bling and that's about it.... Also...dont forget about reverse lipped wheels...once water gets in there (rain), they will feel as if they are out of balance (quite a bit of vibration).

    That's happened to every reverse lipped wheel i've ever owned....kinesis, HRE, Iforged, etc.

    The Iforged three piece look option. The chrome/shiny rivets add a nice touch.

    I'm going to have to agree.

    I have no personal experience, but there have been at least 2 or 3 people I know of on e90post who have had issues with iForge. One guys came with a broken weld (the rest of the welds looked like crap). Another guys wheel just flat out cracked. And a number of other people are waiting for an extremely long time for their wheels to arrive.

    Sounds like a ****ty company imo.

    This would be my choice. I've seen them in dark gray, maybe anthracite. I think they look great.

    Tony, Do you know the owner of that CS? Would like to get the color code used on the wheels. Always hard to tell in pics but appears either Titanium or Silverstone.
