I'm thinking more NEEZ, LM's, or TE37-G2s.
These will be better quality wheels than the HRE's.

I like the Velosity V710's. They look great and they're cheap. That's enough to make me want to buy them!

HRE, lols.
Maybe you're right , but for some reason HRE company are still in business and many high end car owners buy these wheels not for looks, but rather for their good quality ... I had 3 different sets of HRE wheels and they never failed.


This thread is not about comparing the quality of the wheels ... if you want to compare HRE, Neez, Rays, Daymag, BBS and other brands you should start a different thread and put some real facts and data instead of saying this is better than that ... This would be very helpful for people to decide what fits their needs.

Very true. Deciding on wheels has been easily the most frustrating. Simply because there are so many options, research, etc. Thats why I rely on ppl like you to post about your choices. Like that killer Dinan 3.62!!!

So, what are you trying to say by posting that picture ?

Here cracked Volk CE28N

No need to post all this BS if you can't prove that this is better than that ...

- so now people should start worrying about Neez quality ?

Congratulations, you have proven that you can find a picture of a cracked wheel on the internet.

If you want the strongest, lightest wheels, get some Neez or Rays.

If you want to die in a horrible car crash, buy anything else.
Common get real dude ... compare apples to apples and not apples to bananas ...

you are showing cracked non-monoblock HRE wheel and trying to compare it to Neez wheels that are one piece cold forged ?

I want to see your comments on cracked Rays ... factory defect ?
