First the tire sizes are 245/30/20 and 305/25/20, those are the same rolling diameter as 245/35/19 and 295/30/19 that most guys are using for the 19" application. The weight on many aftermarket forged wheels for 20" applications vary from 25-30 lbs, so the weight is not really a factor as well.

20's on the 997 look incredible!

i don't know why everyone is ripping. I mean he did not try to advertise. He just posted a pix of a car with wheels that he manufactures. Plus he's not a salesperson. if this was a constant issue then I can see all the buzzing. Otherwise, this is just typical BS you see on imature websites.

So true, I guess if you can't afford hre's iforged are a good, cheap solution to get the exact same look for less money, kind of like fake louis vuitton.

I think the wheels look unreal! And everyone should relax with the criticism, if you don't like his company...that's fine, but he's done nothing to deserved everyone hammering him. Sounds like jealousy, if you ask me. Also my friend just ordered some black i-forged for his G35, should have them in a few weeks and he can't wait. Maybe I'll have to follow suit with the Carrera...

What , is a prada "polo" shirt a rip off of Ralph Lauren? Is a brooks borthers style armani a rip-off? Is a Pinoeer Plasma a Rip off of a Sony Plasma? People have, will and always will take something that they see, like and are popular and integrtae that design into their own. All the tuners take products that they dont even produce and re-badge them with their name.. This thread is GEIGH (besides the HOT pictures)

There are a few c*ckmasters on this board, seems like you have the right mentality of taking their comments with humility. The 997 looks great btw! Your sig says that you had a '01 S4, did you have any mods?
