i have a LOT of wheels.
and if a manufacturer cannot respond to you after 15 calls, do not buy from them.

these are lwt wheels, they WILL bend. anyone telling you 3pcs high qty wheels will not bend is lying. and when you bend them, how long do you plan to wait to get them fixed? if it takes 15+ call to BUY them, it will take you 150+ calls to fix them when you ding them up.

I have already bought them. I'm just having a problem balancing them. I hope the problem came from no alignment when i put them on. Has anyone else had a problem with balancing their rims??

Have you had them roadforce balanced? Check out www.gsp9700.com to find a local guy who has one of the units. The wheels need to be checked for runout (wobble) as well. The unit can do that.

My local dealer roadforce balanced them but 2 weeks later they were terrible.. Its very frustrating.. when they first do the balance its ok but I always feel a pulsating vibration. I thought it was from changing the stock wheels and putting the tires on the aftermarket wheels without an alignment. When the aftermarkets were originally put on the tire shop did not roadforce them, it was only later. I have 6k miles on them and when they balanced them last week the rears were off 37 lbs on one side and 51lbs on the other, absolutly horrible ride.. I hope it isnt the wheels, I'm putting new tires on it tomorrow. The dealer says the tires are bad. the machine measured them and all the rims show marginal, which the dealer said is normal on aftermarkets but it also said the tires were out completely.

As you all probably know I have been looking all over the internet for track wheels and tires trying to decide on what I want. iForged never ever answers there phone...I tired a few times latley and have gave up on them. I'd be real leary of buying anything from them as that is super bad business in my book. Best of luck!

good quality 3pc wheels shouldn't be "marginal" per GSP9700....but a lot of the lower to medium quality companies are. Most common cause is that there is too much slack at the rim register between the centerdisk and either the outer, inner, or both. Either that or the centerbore was cut wrong (should be 71.67) which I have seen on a few non-quality brand sets.

Or it could be that one of the rim parts (outer or inner) is just out of round....

Contact your dealer, the people who sold you the wheels in the first place. iForged is a manufacture that tends not to deal with retail customers. You must first go make their dealer who sold you the wheels aware of the problem, only then will they contact you....

I've been there so i'm speaking from experience.

You've got to be kidding me. I taped the last wheel balancing and the centers were not perfectly round where they meet the rim. The rim seems to be round but there is a slight variation between the center and rim at one spot on each wheel.. this is a nightmare. 4800.00 for wheels and nobody answers the damn phone!

Hope you paid with credit card. Mail them back and dispute the charges. That will get their attention.
