microboby is infamous around these parts

Those wheels look pretty good but pricy , I guess at that range staying with the HRE is the way to go.

Peter, how are these manufactured - forged vs billet, and what approvals do they have (TUV/DOT, etc)

looks good, but pretty damn expensive for a brand of wheels I've never heard of...

The wheels themselves are SAE J2530 tested, and the factory is in process of receiving TUV verification. They are machined on a CNC from a forged blank.

I believe that the MSRP is ~800 less per set on a 19" and ~1200 less on the 20" vs the HRE monoblok with no discounting from MSRP allowed by HRE. To some, that is an insignificant amount, and to others, it may be worth it.

Can you do these in the right sizing and offset for a 1st generation Camaro?
