Terrible customer service, bad QC on the wheels (and the finishing), copycat designs.

Here's just one example from another board.

I would try the HREs...they too are forged.

I was in the market not to long ago and it seems that most of the complaints about iforged are in the past. Though I have no personal experience myself.

About copycat designs, well I don't mind that at all. If price is not an issue however, the obvious choice is HRE over iforged though.

Also check into DPE wheels, which are also forged, but a bit less expensive.

Bending issues are not a problem...for one thing, they are forged...run the proper tires learn to park without hitting the curb, and avoid most pot holes, no problems then. DPE is also a reputable company as mentioned earlier. Buy any wheel from a reputable place and you shouldn't have problems with fixes or exchanges.
