Unhappy

What a pain in the arse this whole thing was. Never again will I order some alloys from the states lol!. But it was worth the wait. After months of beating up Joe from Trinity Autosport (who must hate PM's from me now) and lots of emails to Iforged they finalymade me a set of 20" 3 piece rims that fit over my BBK.

It all started back in Dec when I decided to order some new rims for summer (I still havethe 20" Hamanns for winter there to mint to sell)

After 4 months of waititng they arrived. The first time they came they didnt fit over my BBK lol. and the rear didnt even even sit close to the hub

There 3 piece with a blk wheel register, gold bolts and polsihed dish (didn't want chrome) rear dish is about 6" and the front is around 4". didn't have time for great pics but you get the idea. Not the cheapest on the market but I luv them! In the end they were worth the headache!
