Like the title says....both are very similar...which one is your pick?!

The iForged Drift gets my vote! I'll go ahead and shoot you over a PM with more details. In the meantime, here are a few more pics of the iForged Drift finished in Hyper Gunmetal in 19" for you to check out!

Is it me...or they are identical?

I can see that the Drift curves more outward than the S10's...thus making the wheels "smaller" in a sense...or is that just me?

[remmib]

DPE if you ask me.

[Gavin@MMW]

DPE all day.

Let me know if you need some help on a set

[SV Concepts III]

You can't compare the quality, they are night and day. If you have the budget, go with DPEs- the original designer and manufacturer.

[SpmnE9zero]

DPE no doubt!

[EuroB6]

DPE ONLY

[michael1284]

I had Iforged first...and now DPE. DPE hands down better quality.

[SIEAIN]

DPE it is!!!

There is always going to be that iFoged VS DPE debate. However, I do want to let you guys know that both wheel companies use the same T6061 Forged Aluminum to build their wheels. They do also use the same company to powder coat all their wheels. In essence, the quality of the product is nearly identical in terms of how they're built as well.

Alan,

This couldn't be further from the truth. I don't mean to start a this versus that thread but the simple truth is that DPE is one of the original manufacturers for custom forged wheels. They are considered among the top manufacturers in terms of quality, originality and finish. A simple search of a comparison between the two will show all that you need.

T6-6061 construction is thrown around the industry but just because you have this material does not mean the attention to detail, finish and construction lives up to all others with this same material. DPE's are 100% made in the USA and per order, their barrels are not imported from overseas and use the highest quality control standards in the industry.

Having known Jojo, founder and owner of DPE, for over 7 years now, I can attest to the level of quality and attention to detail that is put into each design and production run. Certainly other wheel manufacturers have their place in the market but if you are after a no compromise custom forged wheel, DPE is definitely the choice between the two.

Saying DPE is a manufacturer is like saying ADV. 1 makes their own wheels. iForged has been in the wheel business for 10 years and manufactures the wheels inhouse. DPE has wheels made by Donz (Rennen) so they are the manufacturer and DPE is just the designer of the wheels. The parts are made by various companies. Example. ARS and Triangle both manufacture the lips and inner barrels which HRE, DPE, iforged, MHT, and every other forged wheel companies makes. Where is the proof that iForged uses parts from overseas you can actually see on the iforged barrels they are also triangle parts that are made in the USA. Show me 1 fact that iForged are made overseas

They weren't always Triangle Alloys Barrels. I have some DTM Kreuz & iForged wheels here for comparison that prove that. If you really need, I will send photos of them?

I'm glad to see that they use Triangle Alloys barrels now, that's a huge improvement.

Also, if you want to get technical, iForged doesn't make their wheels in house. They use "Introforged," which, despite being very closely meshed with iForged, is a separate company and always has been.

We have nothing against Vince or iForged per sé - I've worked with Vince on his project cars, we've spoken about it a number of times, etc. However, every time we've considered carrying the line, we've found both the product quality and customer service severely lacking. This isn't true of DPE, who has always stood by their products and their retailers - at least in our experience.

Just like every pizza shop uses the same products to make pizza , but they taste different.. Just cuz the companies might use the same metal doesn't mean anything at all and for someone that's a true enthusiast i'm sure such as yourself , i find that to be an ignorant comment to be made. Not starting or bashing anyone here .

DPE... 8 days a week!!

You're correct as the 2-piece parts aren't made by Triangle, but then again many other wheel companies also use these parts. iForged have always used Triangle and ARS parts for 3-piece construction. iForged is a subsidiary of Intro, thus the name iForged meaning Intro Forged.

iForged has its place in the market, as does DPE. The issue is comparing the two.
