The difference is in the price of the wheels and the brand name.....

The difference: The center of the HRE is curved in a little more than the iforged. I have the aero's and have seen the iforged, and they are almost identical.

Iforged wheels are high quality light weight wheels that are comparable to hre's. I dont see why people say they are copies or "fake hre's". Some of their designs look similar, but when you take the time to compare the two, they do have their differences. They are really nice wheels which is why i'm going to buy a set.

Sorry to get on a tangent, but....ColdFusion, your relatively stock G is clean.

ill come on here i own hre's and they are top notch stuff, super nice wheel ill have pics in the wheels suspension thread next week but iforge is a completely diff company from hre, ive heard alot of bad things about iforge mainly that the clear coat comes off and stuff, and ive never heard of anything wrong with hres ill admit they are pricey but a way better buy when it comes between those 2, if you want to take the chance of getting iforge and maybe having something happen to your wheel down the road go head you might not have a problem not everyone does but i bought hre b/c my friend had them plus people on this board youll see that like no one has had a single problem

HRE wheels are the most custom you can buy and order. You can order them to any specs you want. I ordered polished lips; they moved the valve stems to make my AP brakes fit; they can paint it to match your car color. This is very custom stuff. Most other wheels are mass produced and are stocked in warehouses with preset offsets.

come on now, look at the hre website and look at the iforgery website, hre has been around longer than iforge - and their designs look exactly the same - you've got to admit they're imitating - even their logo looks like hre

I definately think iforge has been more than just inspired by HRE and they pretty much copy their designs as much as they can without it being illegal.

That bieng siad they are also cheaper than HRE and that gives us all an opion to save some money so who cares if they copy? I would rather have the choice.

I couldn't be happier with the quality and customer service at HRE. They accidently sent me the wrong pitch wheel locks.......no big deal (a stripped lug that had to be re-tapped), but when I pointed it out to them, they sent me etched wheel center caps, the correct locks, and an apology.

I haven't dealt with IForged, but I haven't read anyone say they have similar customer service.

BTW, HRE buffed out some curb rash from my right front wheel for free.....I just paid shipping.

A wonderful company to deal with and well worth the price.
