Got my wheels on! 22" Iforged Sprints
After ordering them a month ago, they were finally finished and got them installed today. 22" Iforged Sprints in textured black center (matte) and high gloss black lip. Car is starting to look meaner now. Going to lower within the next two weeks and that huge ass wheel gap should be down a little.

LMAO. You're right about that. I'm lowering mine as well. How much are you lowering, and what manufacturer? Props on the ride. Beautiful. |

Thanks man! The wheel gap is really getting to me. Hopefully my shop can get them in soon. Also, I might change out the chrome rivets on the rims to black. Really no chrome on the car so it doesn't really match.

Careful, those rims are very fragile especially with a wide lip, coupled with lower/stiffer suspension, a wheel can and will easily get bent on even the smallest of potholes.
Countless posts from those with 22" wheels. Makes no difference if it is forged or not because the wide lip is the weak point. Looks good though. Won't see the brake dust.

Nope, because the spokes extend out to edge of the rim providing support. No car manufacturers will not use a wide-lipped rim for OEM. They are fragile and unsafe. BMW for example, only uses rims that have spokes designed to support the lateral design of the wheel. They would never put an unsupported wide lip on a performance car, nor would Ferrari, Porsche, or anyone else. Wide lips are for show. Not peformance. They do look good though.

Funny you should ask. I will be selling my wheels with the tires in about 8 weeks. Where are you located?
