So funny how you say DPE makes very high quality wheels. Let me ask you this, why is it for close to $4000, you get 4 plastic center caps with a sticker over it that says DPE? I would think for a high quality rim company you would offer customers aluminum center caps at the VERY least. What does that say about craftsmanship? I wonder what grade of aluminum rimshell DPE uses, hope they are not plastic as well.

Hell, I like them. Don't know if I could get away with putting them on my cars (my wife would kill me and Russ would never let me live it down) but I think they look sweet.

I actually ran a set of Iforged on my old Vette and never had a problem with them. Quality seemed pretty good.

why so much iforged hate? i don't get it. iforged/dpe are both copies of HRE custom wheels. what makes them any different from jlines/dtm kreuz or work wheels for that matter? all are custom made with custom offsets, etc etc

iForged owns Jline/DTM Kreuz...

As far as center caps are concerned, all 3 of these companies use plastic caps! That doesn't mean that the quality of the wheel is inferior, it simply means that all three companies are trying to build the lightest weight wheel possible! Why do you need a metal cap anyways?

Enough said, move on guys! stop the bickering and let iForged do his thing!

Scuff the chrome off the plastic cap and have it powdercoated! Paint will chip and crack!

The blue lip is a direct BITE off the Kinesis E46 M3 show car from Cali - that they displayed at SEMA last year. These rims = WEAK

Try Advan, Volk, Kinesis or Fikse.
