Seems like all wheel manufacturer/distributors always blame the customer when there is an issue. I agree with all the time and effort spent they should have replace the wheels and made a customer happy. But instead they prove their point in sidestepping the issue.
Good luck, hope your issue gets resolved asap.

Yes, if the wheels are not mounted onto the hub of the car properly they will vibrate. I'm pretty sure these iforged wheels are hub centric, if not have Vince Wong send you a hub ring to correct the issue.

Also, make sure your tire shop is using enough weights on these wheels after they mount the tires onto them, roadforcing the wheels/tires is also nessary!

If none of these things work, then i'd suggest contact the dealer you purchased the wheels from and try to have them get you into another pair of wheels and work out a refund on these.

I've had them road forced 7 times.. So I guess the center piece might need replacing if it dosen't fit flush??

Slightly off-topic, but what is "roadforcing"? I'm not familiar with the term.
