Capitol Forged is a pretty new company. Havent heard much info on these. Could be either a good thing, or a bad thing.
Sorry, I heard from around that this company no longer exist. My sources could be wrong.
Forgiato - Good quality with some very unique designs
VIP Modular - Clean styles and dependable
Asanti - Pass
360 Forged - Nice stuff, but a little on the pricey compared to the competition. If you could afford it. go for it.
iForged - Older company that been around for quit some time now.
My suggestions are Vellano. Quality of the product is excellent and customer support and service from Vellano is hands down, one of the best Ive ever dealt with. I rank Vellano's customer as high as HRE's customer service.

Pay a little more for the Vellano and know that you have a great company that will back you up. The Vellano's should be less than the 360Forged.

If you go with VIPs, SonicMS carries them and can give you a great price. Sam probably can too but I don't know if he carries them. Several members here have or had VIPs on their car (Vegastrashed, delje08, Glock-357, aznunknownx, uzzle...) and can give you their feedback.
I remember reading the drama about the Sevas wheels a while back but I believe the failures they had were with their one piece cast wheels and not these forged ones. Even so, the argument was why would you go with a company that had any type of historical quality issues before when you have the option to go with someone else. That's all up to you. Now whether they're still in business or not is a different problem.
Good luck with your decision. Should be a fun one.

Wow just checked out the Vellano's those are nice. They have a ton of styles to choose from. I will have to find someone that sells them.

I can help you get in touch with the Vellano people.
Call Sonic and talk to Darwin.
As far as Sevas, there known problem was with the one piece line, but I personally know some people that also have had major problems with the 3 piece forged line. Regardless, I think they are out of business now.
