AGAIN... I want the "Bling Bling" These in my opinion are the most beautiful wheels for a Sports-car ( Back me up Chris! ) They are exactely that, they are for the beauty, for show and thats exactely what i want! Theres no way i would risk putting my S2K on the track and wrecking it. I admire those of you that do, but i could never do that to mine. If i had the funds i would take that up as another hobby. Also if i wanted to race a car around a track, i would get a cheap miata or something easy and cheap to race/maintain. The S2K is intended for the road and to enjoy the Open-road with the top-down As are these wheels If i was racing, yes i would look at other wheels such as Fikse or whatever.

I respect your opinion Ben
But yes, i know all that. Belive me, if you were paying what im paying for insurance you wouldnt be risking taking your S2K to the track Im already paying an arm and a leg for insurance and not even my fault! 2 dumbass's hit me and totalled my cars Twice! and who gets to pay for it, why me of course. Also my integra GSR was stolen so that affected my rates. Not fair but what can i do. I will stick to racing go-carts Also, if my insurance wasnt so high, i probably wouldve bought new and not used

I have talked to Gene Howald the owner of HRE personally and seems like a great guy
BTW, did you rub with your 19's and what suspension set-up do you have or had? Thanks in-advance !

Chris, what size tire did you run in the rear Thats huge! 10.5, wow. I was going to go with a 9.5 in the rear with a 265, but open to sugestions And very nice pics Chris Too bad you had to sell those bad-boys. The more i see the HRE's the more i like em.
MAV, BBS's are awesome too Ive always liked BBS's. If they are good enough for a Formula One car, well then theyre good enough on the street and for my S I would consider the LM'S In my opnion, any 3pc wheel with a nice polished lip looks awesome! Well your RGR's dont look bad either MAV
Awesome pics guys !

HRE's are way over rated. they are way too heavy and too much money for a rim that honestly isn't that great of a quality. and its true that there paint does flake off. i know three cars that had HRE's 1 the paint came off the other both rears bent, and the third one just got them and i am waiting for something to happen. don't get me wrong they are not garbage rims in any sence, but they are not as high of a quality as say BBS, kineise i think thats how you spell it and fiskie? don't know if thats right either.

First, If I recall when I was first selling my wheels way back in the days, you were one of the first persons wanting to buy them, telling me that your parents will buy you almost anything for Christmas. right? The paint of the wheels never chipped, and if your friends rims got bent is because he is an idiot an hit a pot hole very hard. I had my wheels for a year an half and never any problems. HRE's all the way. Fiske are nice and Kinesis are nice, but for my taste HRE as a much nicer looking wheels. Please don't mention I-forged, those a crap.
