360 forged never pulled a scam, they are just 30-90 days late with their orders, mainly do to quality control issues, you know ,the same issues that HRE will let go by…
^^^ yea honestly i was just looking for peoples takes on both cars… they are awesome but apples and oranges. I too read alot, drove both and still was left scratching my head. greatly appreciate everyones legit .02
ill toss some pictures up when i pick her up. not going to say which it was tho after much going back and forth haha and tons upon tons of reading.
i just got to work and will shoot you a pm shortly brotha i want to hear about fl too. i remember something about you moving down there.
Actually…they were bought out. 360 forged, or well the new company (sorry forgot the name), is so far with “back orders” that it will take next year to get rims from them. I ordered my wheels from HRE and 2 weeks later they showed up. perfect.
I rarely see negativity on the boards about that company. And like they say, you cant please everyone. While 360 has a whole thread dedicated to their “back orders”.
360 was willing to take my money on the spot with a sponsorship price, which they did beat HRE; however, Jordan @ 360 (owner at the time) then began to tell me that it would take 4-5 weeks for the wheels as they were “swamped”. I said ok, well I sorta need them in like 2-3 as I sold the stock wheels and AMS needed to move the car around. He then said let me see what I can do. Call you back… never got that phone call. Then about a week later they were kicked off the corvette forum.
And LOL at thinking otherwise.
Good luck with your car. Cant wait to see which one you go with.
Jordan has been getting a bunch of people their wheels with no issues, well minus the extra time, and they are better quality than HRE. Maybe you shouldn’t have sold your wheels before you get replacements, but that’s just me.
There are many reasons that HRE’s get laughed at from a lot of places, and their lead time is not one of them.
The indivudual who bought my stock wheels had no issues waiting a few weeks. I explained the situation and he was cool with it. Im sorry but 90 days for wheels is ridiculous- ppl have been waiting months for they’re wheels. If you have time for that then send them your money.
Not sure where you’ve been getting your information but maybe you should read this…
BTW could you please educate me on the negatives of HRE’s that make them laughed at?
Read through 6-speed, M5boards, M3forums, etc… MANY people have gotten their wheels already
as per HRE, read through many of the quality control issues, the vibration issues, the ghetto fix for the vibration, etc… and no those are not a common thing for 3-piece wheels. Oh also, HRE is forged at the same place iForged, DPE and etc. are… you are paying for marketing more than other. Then you can get into the whole “8000 ton press” which they are not forged from. There are many things you can go through the marketing and actual quality.
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I can assure you that if you visit any of the companies that were mentioned you will not see what you see at HRE. Most of the companies you mentioned, along with 360 forged, all have another company machine their centers and then have them finished. They are then assembled at their facility. This does not allow them to maintain the strict quality standards of HRE.[/FONT][/COLOR]
If I were going to buy a 911 it would be an 89 911 turbo, back before Porsche decided to get into the high speed appliance business and driving a 911 fast took practice, balls and skill.
