I don't know off the top of my head what the rimz alone cost, i'd have to find the invoice at home. But for the wheels, tires, & install was a little more than $5300.
iForged recommended I contact Nick @ Autobahnexotics.com
HOWEVER, I had my car lowered at Amplified Motorsports & they laughed at me & said they could have gotten me a better deal on everything. So I proceeded to kicking my own ********* with a steel toe boot.

Nevertheless, Nick @ Autobahnexotics.com was the coolest. He was honest, and the business went through without any shady behavior.
OH YEA... A Note about iForged, Low Profile Tires, & the Tire-Pressure Sensor!!!!!!
Upon installing the stock TPS to my iForged/Falken setup, the dude brought to my attention that where the sensor is located under the wheel & tire makes it VERY easy to damage the sensor if you hit a pot hole hard enough! Well ... I think i did that already! Because i recently went to put air in my tires, checked for a slow leak, punctures, and whatever else I could, but found no problems. I refilled the air & went about my business & the TPS light went off. But literally, 5 days later it was back on. Yet all of the tires are fine. I think i busted my sensor in there!
It's really not a big deal, afterall, man has been manually maintaining tire conditions for centuries. i don't NEEED the TPS. But, i just thought i'd mention that to all of you!
Also, iForged hid the air valve on the wheels in such an awkward location that either need two people or a lift just to put air in those tires. OR, use a child's sized hand to get in there... Assuming you have the heavy spoked Essens.

Boys and girls, Lebron James is the best player in the NBA. Sorry to break your little Kobe loving hearts. Lebron is the worlds premier basketball player and he will wear a Knicks jersey by the end of this year.

About LeBron...
PREACH!!!! You speak 100% Truth! If i didn't know any better I'd swear you were my dad talking! He's been saying LeBron would be a Knick for the past 2 years! And yes, HE IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER THAN KOBE!!!
Side Note ...
If I was betting 1-on-1 according to Venice Beach rules, my money is on Kobe. Haaaa.
And now, so that we stay on topic...
I will say this about the strength of the iForged wheel...
i was coming out of a parking structure a little under the influence one friday night and banged my rear wheel against an oddly located cement divider. Of course, my heart stopped & i was pissed the whole way home & didn't want to hear a word of the positive jibberish my "escort for the night" was rambling. I refused to look at it until I got home away from her. To my surprise, there is no serious evidence that the wheel was ever hit. I can see a slight mark when i get WAY UP CLOSE, but those things really are solid!
