Mike, it’s not only the large amount of failures from anyone who tracks the cars. I’ve seen tons of HRE wheels up close, there are TONS of flaws in the finishes on a lot of their wheels and their customer service sucks. Not to mention, wheels that crack/split in half in high performance situations, or the rediculously high price. ---

They certainly are very expensive, but I always see people bashing HRE wheels b/c they have seen a pic here or there of one breaking in a racing situation. I have seen kinesis break as well. Nature of the high stresses involved. Are they the best wheel out there for racing? No. Are they an “unreliable wheel manufacturer”? No. Are they overpriced, show wheels? Yes. / of HRE content in this thread. ---

[quote=“JaysGreenLX,post:31,topic:24880"”] I didn’t think iForged was still in business. I have heard horror storie about them though. [/quote] Alot of iforged issues were involving water collecting where the center section/barrel meets the rim. Kind of hit or miss, but water collects in there, and then when at speed, it causes the wheels to vibrate. They developed some sort of block or piece to go in there and divert water out. I do believe the reverse drop eliminates the problem as well. Audi sniper had them and he went nuts with the vibration problems in the rain. Called iforged and they said “Sorry sir, but most of our customers do not drive in the rain.” haha… Nice quality, a PITA to keep clean, and primarily show wheels. ---

I’ve had SSR wheels on my vette for about 2.5 years and they have yet to bend due to the streets in Buffalo. One got curb rash due to the streets…but thats a different story. ---

Yes the GT3 bends RATHER easily. I have a set of 5, want to buy them? The spare in the trunk has a small bend on the inner lip thanks to the tire shop who mounted the tires. ☹ ---
