**NEW iFORGED Carbon Fiber Finish Wheels**

I'm subscriber to iFORGED's monthly newsletter. This month they feature their carbon fiber finish available on the Formula, VIP and Precision Series wheels. I thought it was pretty cool!!

Here's the link if anyone's interested:

I dunno about that man, Polished gets dirty easy. But carbon fiber I think is easier to get watermarks/oxidation.

Considering these look to be cleared, it'd be pretty easy to upkeep. Clay bar, and wax em up every once in a while like you do your car and it should be fine.

Gee, everybody knows these wheels are wrapped in carbon fiber film.

When I said "NICE" I meant just the look, dude!!!

How the fuck is it rice? You get polished wheels cause they look nice, you get brushed wheels cause they look nice, you get black faced wheels cause they look nice, you get gold faced wheels cause they look nice. Now you get CF faced wheels cause they look nice and it's rice. Umm ok.

Except those wheels cost way too much to have leaks. Seems like one out of the four always gets a leak. Plus they are ugly.

Everything is considered rice these days, even a stock Supra is rice to some assholes. But I digress, those wheels look pretty cool.

We helped out Vince @ IForged in getting these wheel to debut. The sets came out really clean and pictures don't do it's justice guys! You should see them in person.

sigh... i guess i'm gonna have to waste my time educating you idiots. cf is nice because it is indicative of the functionality of cf. when you see a true cf part it is beautiful because it signifies strength and light weight. just like how a large fmic looks good, or a huge 5" exhaust tip, or a true roll cage looks good. do you think a fake plastic ic bolted to the front of your car, or a giant exhaust tip screwed onto your pea shooter, or a fake monkey bar cage looks good too? fuck no. because these parts for the performance "look" don't have the actual performance functionality behind them. they are rice and cheesey.

look at the following raw carbon fiber chassis, it's fuckin gorgeous. do you think if you wrapped your entire car in carbon fiber film it would look as nice as this or do you think it'll look stupid and pretentious? same thing with these wheels.

anyhoo, go back to slapping on your gtr taillights or your powered by mugen stickers and let us grown ass men decide with true taste decide what's rice or not. and yes those 360 forged wheels are fugly.
