They are less than the HRE's by alot and less than the Kinesis.
There are varying reports on the weights (that is being light weight performance wheels versus the "bling bling" look of the HRE's)....yes I am generalizing so please don't take this for gospel.
If you do a search under Iforged they did try to start a group buy a while back but didnt get a warm reception. In the early days they seemed to have production issues and QC issues. Vince was the "bad guy" name that got spread around with the company.
I really like the look of their wheels and almost went with them...but some of the stories scared me.
I also frequent the M3 forum and they seem to cater to them alot. I haven't seen any of the "bad issues" post and in general most people seem happy with their product.
The only downside that I have heard about the Iforged wheels and the HRE's for that matter is that their reverse lip design is older and tends to cause guttering of water in the wheel during a downpour rain...this causes the wheel to become imbalanced during the drive. (search the m3forum.com)

the owner of Iforged had his Porsche recently featured in a magazine.

sorry guys, even if I buy the Iforged aero's I still plan on keeping my enkei's but you never know...
I saw the Iforged wheels on the supra forum and they have the same design as the HRE 545r, I want those bad but I dont think paying 1300 per rim is practical...

You can actually get the Iforged for around $1900-$2100 per set for 18" I did look into Iforged before. Try to get from the dealer, try not to deal staright with Iforged. One dealer that come to mind is Avalon Racing. Thier website is www.avalonracing.net
