Default HRE / Asanti Rim Help - Please!

So I found these HRE rims for $5,000


And these Asanti rims for $12,000


Of course, I can't afford to drop this much money on a set of rims. I love the style though! Does anyone know where I could find cheaper rims that look like these? I would greatly appreciate it! I'm trying not to spend more then $2,000 or $3,000.

Thanks!

Real forged polished wheels ar $3.5K+ in staggered 19".

You can get symbolic, iForged and some other brands for that price. However, if you have the $3.5k just for wheels, why not spend a thousand more and get some HRE or other top of the line brand!

Lol, I don't really have 3.5K for rims, thats my problem. I just love this style rim. I've seen the SF Winnings and some Work wheels that look close, but not quite!

Help!

I have been drooling over the HRE 841R's for a year now! But your right they are just to exspensive, I just can't justify spending that much on rims for a G or Z, even though its only my weekend car.

I too have been trying to find something similar for quite a while and havn't found anything comparable yet.

You could pick up a set of Axis Hiros and tires for about 2500-3000, which look nothing like HRE 841R's which I am considering because of the price and decent look.

In the meantime I am going to keep looking for something similar to the HRE's at a rational price.

BTW, The Asanti rims are not $12,000. They are about 4-5 grand for a set. Check out this site.

No he doesn't. He needs to drive it to the track and use that negative camber to kill some corners.

You can get a set of iForged rims from Avalon for a lot less than $3500. So far, my rims have been of exceptional quality.

Don't go through iForged directly, though. Customer service is dubious at best.

haha..i know, i was being sarcastic, hence the "lol" at the end. Hard to tell on the internet though.

But yea, I kept a little more neg camber on my car too for that purpose..but i'll be goin through tires REAL fast now...oh well.

Look up Chris at F1motorsport. Awesome customer service and even better pricing. Beat all other offers by a looooong shot.
818-755-8519 ask for Chris Young. Seriously these guys are great.

How long did it take for you to receive your i forged wheels?

I was told eight weeks and they showed up at nine. They were down for more than a week during that time for SEMA, which is why they were late....at least that's what I was told.

If you deal with Paul at Avalon, you won't have any problems at all......and the wheels really are beautiful....well worth the wait. The new ceramic coating (instead of clearcoat) over the brushed aluminum is flawless.
