Thanks for the heads up. I'll call DPE and find out.

This is completely false. The signature series DPE's are 3 piece forged wheels.

My gold DPE S20's will finally be here in the next few days (been waiting forever). I will get pics up if anybody wants to see them. They are going on my black opal Kleemann CLK55.

Once I switched to chrome lips a few years back I realized how much easier it is to care for and the shine is MUCH better than polished. I've never had a chrome lip peel on me yet. You dont need to polish them for hours either. The weight difference is negligible, maybe a few ounces (only the lip is chromed). And instead of paying $800 to get them rechromed IN CASE they peel, you could always get a new lip for much cheaper (they are 3 piece wheels afterall)

Yeah talked with Manu at DPE. The signature series are 3 piece forged. How long have you been waiting for your S20's?

Ordered them right before Christmas. But I did get a custom gold finish (not the gold leaf that they offer, its brighter and more gold. Well its supposed to be, i'll see in a couple days)

Luis's car is just plain sick...I hope he comes up our way again this year, he is just a cool cat...

Benzzz.....sik choice on wheels...I almost got the S20's for the M before I sold her and thought about it when I got the TT...I just couldn't get him to beat the pricing on the IForged...and then EW got sponsored by DPE!!! I might end up getting a set next year!

DPE are great wheels!

Mike

BMWDEMON- From what I hear, he wont be up this way this year. And the DPE's are more expensive than the Iforged if you go with the Signature Series lineup (even with sponsorship; Manu is on EuroProjektz)

Manu is co-owner of DPE and he is one of the original members of EP so I guess so.
