well. stock rims are stock rims. aftermarket rims are still more revealing and better looking no matter what you think. the price shows off the style.

189 Pros
Good Looks, OEM, Durable, Cost, driveablity

189 Cons
OEM, lacks WOW factor, others will wonder when your new wheels arrive

i-forged Pro
Neck breaking looks, status item, attention grabber

i-forged Cons
Lacks practicality, lacks driveability, cost, attention grabber

+1 on the pros vs cons

I would also add to the iforged pro list that it'll complete the car and it'll be personalized to your taste.

In the end, i say go for it. I think you'll regret it later on if you don't. And I think you're going to get rims sooner or later, minus well do it now while you have the money.

Hey thanks for taking the time to make that list, Ray. Yeah, I'm really indecisive on them right now. One major reason being I still go to CSM, thus = a portion of dumbass, jealous people fucking with nice cars. I know some people that just mess with cars just because they don't have what the car has.

Damn, I wish everyone is a good person in this world, but no go.

Yeah, I think I will definately regret it in the long run, but then I do save A LOT of money...but on the other hand I will be driving this car for the next 10+ years if it lasts that long, and then the investment will be well worth it in that time frame.

AHHHHH....so many decisions.

I think you might have buyer's remorse right now. It's ok though, alot of people go thru it. I mean, why do we buy such expensive stuff for our cars? What's the justification of $3k+ wheels? Well when you get em, all of those questions go out the door, and you're glad you stuck with your original idea.

Also, you can always sell them later on and buy a different set when your tastes change.

haha, yeah. Your probably right. Thing is A LOT of people have buyers remorse with iforged rims. Just look at the FS threads, most are "feelers" people that want to part because of price in the middle of production. There are about 3-4 threads on iforged Drifts right now! (the wheels that I got).

But SHIT, look at this guy's e92. HOTTTTTTTTT.

well sometimes, things come up and they need to sell them. Or they bought em on impulse and need to free up cash.

For me...i can buy my DPE's, but i'm saving it for my move. If i bought them, all I'd have is my rent and deposit money with no furniture! So i need to wait awhile and get a little settled in. Plus i need to buy a 18" winter setup too!

You are right David. Some wheel brands are tossed around frequently while others are keepers.
