Hey Guys,

I looking to find anyone who has Iforged's Imola wheels installed on their baby...I am going to make my final decision soon and need as much help as possible. Thanks!

Here is a link directly to the wheel's picture...http://www.iforged.com/v3/wheels_detail.php?WhID=25

Those look almost identical to Radenergie R10s. They look great.

I almost went for that one FYI...but i thought the Imola looks more unique. Thanks for the input though...btw, if any of u guys dont mind, maybe u can do a photoshop editing of a sapphire black e60 with the black 20" Imola wheels on it? I would be very appreciative...Thanks!

I think they will look great color matched to your black saphire paint. I was a little disappointed at first that the standard black on the R10s was not glossy black but more anthracite or charcoal black. At that time, I had seriously thought about getting it painted deep black but I've grown to love since then. I'm sure a deep black will look awesome on your car.

I really hope so...i will post some pics once everything is in place. I have the eibach pro kit installed and it looks like there is still 1 finger space between the vender and the tire...looks like it might not be low enough...btw, how are the nitto tires doing? i've heard pretty awful complaints about them? is it true? Thanks!

Mine has about a finger of gap also but I think it's just perfect. It as a bit lower before and I thought it was a little rough.

The Nittos have been great in my opinion. What types of complaints have you heard?
