You can take the word of a 19 year old kid that has never manufactured a wheel in his life or, the word of a company that has been manufacturing forged wheels for more than 25 years and in fact, has been manufacturing wheels for the European, luxury car, truck, SUV's and hot rods longer than HRE, IForged, Kenises or any other forged wheel company in business today. As far as the wrong forgings........refer to the first sentence of this post.

With that said, I would much rather discuss technical or general questions about the BC wheel line. I don't feel as if I need to defend my companies reputation. If a company of Discount Tire's reputation is willing to carry and promote the BC Forged wheel line as well as the Boyd Coddington wheel line for that matter, I need not say more.

 

wow...lots of brand new site members all of a sudden

 

In Fact, The wheels on this Audi are BC Forged Alloys.

 

Cant wait to see these on 350z's!!!

 

What other center caps do you guys offer? How much is the price for a fully polished wheel than just a polished lip and a painted face? Could I buy BC wheels through my local Discount Tire here in Houston? Thanks!

 

We also offer a plain center cap only. We can do any combination of polish you wish.

Your best bet to order would be to contact Todd at Discount Tire Direct.

Thanks..........

 

<-----That'd be me

 

Just to clarify, this is not the case with HRE Performance Wheels.

While some of the larger 15" 8-piston Porsche brake applications do require a 19" reverse set-up, the bowed-spoke profile of the 540 series (non-reverse style) wheels allow us to manufacture these wheels for surprisingly large brake packages.

In fact, HRE has been building the 540 "non-reverse" wheels for big brake kits for customer such as Mallett Cars, Lingenfelter, Hennessey, Panoz, and many others for several years.

90% of the time, the customer chooses the 540R series for aesthetics, not for technical reasons. The 540R (and other "R" HRE wheels) were developed in response to customer request.

Thanks Bob...appreciate your input/correction

 

What is the cost of this wheel? 18 in. Offset with a set of Yokohama tires.

 

Can someone photoshop the rivets off of this wheel. I want to see what it looks like without them.

THANKS!

 

so is there going to be a group buy on these babies or what??

 

ehh...you can get Iforged for those prices....No one pays there retail....

 

They probably look something like this (the pic right above your post).

 

I was gonna say the samething

 

I must be blind or something, but I could swear that those wheels have two completely different finishes.

A polished wheel and a machined wheel (satin) that are identical in structure, can look completely different depending on the finish.

Now, could someone please do me a favor and photoshop the original wheel I had requested and remove the rivets.....the one with the satin finish, not polished....thanks a lot.

 

These wheels don't actually have rivets. They're dimples

 

High quality, European dimples? jk

 

Hmmmmm....nice catch!

Ok....dimpleless then!

 

Since Im SO incredibly terrible in photoshop 9 out of 10 times...I decided to make it black anodized face as well.
