Default Ordered New Rims

I just ordered Iforged VIP Limited rims for my car... with stock seizes and widths.. they told me it will take about 12 weeks for delivery so I am patiently waiting...

What I really liked is that these are among VERY few companies that offer such a wide selection of seizes and customizations... I went with a simply full chrome, but they offered color matching, partly color matching, chrome lips with any color center, alloys, and many other things...

I just went with full chrome and a 3' lip...

They did cost a couple dollars though...


Take a look...



I will post some pics once they have been delivered and installed on my car...

Nice!
The only problem I have with rims like that, is cleaning them!!!
I hate cleaning stuff - same goes with my Harley!!!

EDITED:
I'd love these on my car, obviously with Blaze Red and not that kind. I know they're pricey but do you mind sharing a number.

Gator... you have the rims above?

Well these ran me about 4k shipped a little pricey, but not too bad... but then comes, the tires, the new drilled and slotted rotors, the rotex gold brake pads, the ss brake lines, the swapping brake fluid, and I end up with a large bill meh...

Spensly you are right about the cleaning I sure hope the rotex pads will help some...

and Gator if those are the rims you have they are nice, but a little to daring for me... if you know what I mean, but nevertheless fun to look at... those rims you linked if you don't already have them will run you about the same price as mine, maybe a little less based on what kind of paint you want and if the black center you want is chromed...

Yea those are the rims I am upgrading from the reasons are that... even though I like the stock rim design well its not chromed so it makes it less appealing and getting the chromed... I feel a stigma that it might peal to quickly... and mine also have curb rash so I decided on ordering new ones besides more spokes is very good!!

I hope the rotex will combat this somewhat... and so will my appreciation of the multi spoke design.

These are beautiful. I believe these are the same wheels Copernicus has on his car. Look at his gallery if you want to see them on the car.

No his are similar though his are 22 spoke asantis I believe AF122s those were the rims I was interested in originally, but they did not make custom sizes... their minimum size was 19" and they did not provide custom widths... that was not something I wanted...
