So far so good. Once I receive the wheels and inspect and mount I can make my final decision. I chose to communicate through Instagram, they have always gotten back to me with about 24hrs if not sooner. I think communication may be faster through whatsapp. But so far the wheels look like I expected and finish looks amazing

Don't chastize me for not having an M sport , but the wheels themselves look and feel great, lightweight. I do think I should have gone a little less wide or gotten wider tires. Which I will next changup

Those look sharp! Would you mind posting pictures from other angles and listing size and offsets(front and rear).

22x11 +24
22x12 +31

I haven't taken many pictures yet, weather trash. Ill take more. The wheel fitment AND tire fitment is subjective to peoples liking im sure. I'm not on Michelin or Pirelli, that would have effected the stretch.

Going back I probably would have gone 22x10.5 or a lower offset. At this offset im about 1/4 to the inner suspension with these stretched tires.

Next go i'll look into wider, I believe other guys go 295/30 335/25 on 22 and keep the transfer case happy.

I've also got 10mm spacers on the way since it STILL seems to sunken for my liking.

I'm on lowering links on loading height in the pictures. So not too low

updated to 275/40 315/35. Much less stretch, taller profile but I think fits the size of the wheel vs the size of the X5

I've had mine on for a couple months, now. Unfortunately, about a month ago I hit a massive pothole and dented one of the wheels. The wheel repair shop initially wouldn't even try to fix it, saying the dent was too large. The insurance gave me credit for a whole new wheel, but since mine were custom offsets and custom paint, I had the repair shop give it a go, anyway. Trying to match the paint would be a giant PITA.

They said these wheels are higher quality than most they encounter, but they also didn't seem to realize they were forged. I think they never really see forged wheels due to how expensive they normally are. Anyway, they were surprised that they were able to fix it, and it's been good since then.

So, I'd say that these wheels are an absolute fantastic value! Even if they aren't exactly as high quality as "name brand" forged wheels, they are at least as good as any flow formed wheels, which are about the same price. Plus, you get the option of like 200 wheel styles, plus the ability for custom finishes.

Well the company says they are forged with the same metal as the big names are and they ARE light as hell, the tire shop made a point to mention that.

I think yours are brushed with double dark tint? Mine is brushed with clear and my girl already got a nice curb rash on the right front we are trying to have repaired.

But I would absolutely go with them again for another set in the future. I may even do a 2/3 piece next time.

Mine are a custom hue. I had about 6 or 8 emails tweaking the base hue. But, yes, brushed transparent.

Talking

I just sent them the dowpayment for a set of 20" X 9.5J HRE P101 forged replicas, like these:

https://forzaaa.com/products/forged-...40477350821955 finished in Gloss Brushed Grey.

I want a square set up in NRF 285/45R20 tires.

I will let you all know how it goes with Forza Performance, it should take about 2 months for the wheels to arrive.
