If I were you I wouldn't buy iForged. Too many horror stories about problems with their wheels, followed by terrible customer service. I'd go with Forgeline or HRE instead.

Iforged is the knock off HREs, and HREs have had some horror stories as well.

I wouldn't run either.

get a set of Volk Racing GTMs

I have seen horror stories with HRE but their competition and monoblok series seem to be ok. Personally I'd go with Forgeline, they are a lot less expensive and just as nice.

Damn, nice choice. I just had a friend that started carrying Volk "stuff" at his shop. I can get a hell of a deal hopefully. What size would you run? The stock wheels are 19's. I have NO clue what the offset of the wheels and width and height of the tires are.

I found the specs...Front:

Weight: xx lbs
Size: 19 X 8-1/2J
Material: Aluminum
Offset: 43 mm
Tire Size: 225/45WR19
Rear:

Weight: xx lbs
Size: 19 X 9J
Material: Aluminum
Offset: 45 mm
Tire Size: 245/40WR19

If you run with these GTM's, which are bangin. You better get the biggest lip you can fit on the rear. Cause these and the Z's look sick with aggressive deep dish fitments.
