Hey all,

Whoops, a little late in updating the thread, lots going on and I just hadn't got a hold of really good pics yet. Actually going to do a shoot this week once the weather gets better

Anyways my thoughts on dealing with ISS Forged

Delivery Time: 10/10

Pretty much on the nose as promised, 4 weeks and a day. Very happy all was on schedule and I had tracking for all wheels.

Communication: 10/10

Typically had email responses quickly within hours but always within a day. Very pleasant, even had emails from the owner/manager and I was even schooled and learned a few things. So great dealing with VJ, etc

Finish 10/10 (9.5 overall)

Wheels looked AMAZING, felt light, strong. The shop that was installing it were amazed at the brushed aluminum finish on the barrels. Very happy. Wheels get a 10

Only reason I gave a 9.5 is that the shop had to machine the centre caps a bit to get them on (but thats pretty normal)

and the other thing was it seems the fronts may not actually be 19x10 but 19x9.5, so may have been a mix up during production, so I am following up on that although I've been so busy they've been waiting for me to follow up lol

At the end of the day, I actually hadn't bought 285's for the front (phew) and used my rear 275's which still look too meaty. A 265 will look a lot better on the rim so at the end of the day...not even mad, the wheels just blow me away, If I had already bought 285's, different story lol.

I ended up spending a bit more and going with Project Kics r40 Neo Chrome Lug nuts (not the softer racing ones r26)

When I picked them up most of them fit in the back of the wife's X5. VEry well packaged.

Opened one box, just like the pictures. They were super light weight.

Bamm (pic from today...soooo does not do them justice)

Huh, oh ya...305's, no big deal
