Gorgeous Wheels!!!
The one thing about HRE, and iForged look alikes, that I wasn't aware of is that ther isn't a "gutter" built into the rims. The problem is that driving in rain, the water can pool in the rim and the spinning causes a collection that unbalances the wheel.
from what I heard...I am curious to know if this is true as I might get some iforged which are almost identical

I haven't been on this forum in awhile, but on the other forums (corvetteforum and supraforums), there are several people who got ripped off by Iforge wheels. In fact I am good friends with one of the original distributors. Iforge doesn't even make their own wheels. Just trying to save someone else the $$ and trouble myself and others went through.

the reason i purchase these rims is because they are one of the strongest wheels around. before this i had two sets of volks that kept cracking on me.... if you drive hard and fast like me everyday then you'll understand. i was tired of getting my volks wheels repaired at 200 bucks per wheel every other month.
I have couple of friends with HRE rims. they highly recommended it to me. so please dont hate

While theyre not superlight weight, theyre far from being overly heavy...and as said above, their strength makes up for it.

What are you guys drueling at? Those wheels don't look any better than BC Forged BC06es? http://www.bcforged.com/home/frame/
That pic looks like crap. Can't really tell what those wheels are.
Someone mentions HRE wheels, you all get hard-ons LOL. HREs are over-priced, and aren't all that...

wassup with some of the people on this forum... when you buy sorry *** rice **** for your car you get hated on and when you buy good ****, you get hated on. what's the deal??
like i said before... i bought these rims because its high quality!! if my friends had the BC's or iforged and recommend it to me before i would've bought that but they dont. i dont know anyone that runs BC's or Iforged right now. some of my friends run on HRE's. plus i purchased these rims almost the same price of the rims i wanted at iforged. exact motorsports wanted 5400.00 w/o tires. i got it for 4200.00 w/o tires at KarToyz Unlimted. KarToyz also said they can customize it for me with the reverse 3.5 in lip and the high polish finish with NO extra charge!!!
some of you guy asked how i paid for these. i work for a computer networking consulting company and im a full time student.
Sorry my picture is crap. I did say i took it with my camera phone.
