Okay, so I don't understand why people are being so offensive about this ordeal. So iForged ****** up on their first order... and took them 6 months to get things right, but so what? Every company makes mistakes, and they are in business for making money, not offering charity funds. OP, you basically got what you wanted in the end (changed color and canceled pin striping), and you're still complaining? I mean, what if you got the perfect set with gloss black and white gettho pin striping in the first place? Would you have been happy with that? Hell no. On top of that, iForged could have just refused to sell the second set to you at discounted price and take those back from you although it could be disadvantageous to them. You got an extra set of wheels at a discounted price AND changed color AGAIN on your own to keep them. Finally, you're selling the flat black one that you originally ordered because they don't look good anymore?

And what's with all the bandwagon jumpers here? Suing them? Are you ******* kidding? Who the **** are you talk about suing? Are you the victim here? Man... I just don't get people these days.

To conclude, I'm sorry OP that you were hassled for a long time for this whole ordeal, but I hope you should be happy with the results since you have changed color decision total of THREE times, and got your second set for dirt cheap. For rest of the people who's bad mouthing a company who at least tried to step up to resolve the issue, you all should take a hand full of chill pills and grow up.

Sorry for waking up the dead thread. lmao

Not iForged, Forgestar.

Although, I had problems just as bad with iforged back in the day with my 350Z.

iForged owns Forgestar.


Someone I know ordered some Forgestars and it's arriving on time. About a month wait...

Really, no wonder they suck. The dealership bent a rim on my 350 and it took 9 months to get a replacement!

Did you read how many times they fed me bullshit? Did you notice that after ALL of the hassle I got, the guy that runs everything told me he'd personally inspect the wheels before shipping then they came in not even matching?

Yes, they made it right in the end, and I did edit post #2 to say that, but it took me complaining for weeks on end to even get them to replace the first set. They originally wanted me to send the wheels back at MY expense and just give me a refund. THEY suggested to go to an 11" wide wheel in back for the second set, and the reason I didn't get the pinstripe was because the first set was chipping in the first week of having the wheels on.

Right, so I bought the original wheels at a discount. I had to refinish them to sell them and didn't make anything off of it. I just got the opportunity to try a bronze color vs the matte black to see which I liked better and sold the ones I didn't like as much with my car. I saved them the hassle of paying shipping back to them and refinishing and selling them used.

Now, after all of this, why would you expect me to recommend the company? Because after 6 months I finally got wheels that I like after I was originally quoted 2-3 weeks? What if you were having a room remodeled in your house and the contractor quoted you 2-3 weeks. He finally finishes after 6 months with all sorts of BS and things done wrong in the middle, but he finished it right in the end. Would you recommend him?

No company should be making the habit of lying to customers repeatedly and putting people through what Caravan had to go through to get a lousy set of fuckin wheels. Fuk Forgestar and the horse they road in on..






Now shut up woman, and get on my horse!

If everyone else seems upset about what happened, and you're the only one doesn't think it's a big deal, maybe some self evaluation is in order. There is an old saying that goes something like: If you have a problem with one person, it's probably them. If you have a problem with many people, it's probably you.
