I'm new here on the forums. Although, Iv been a lurker for a while now. Iv been searching around for awhile on what type of wheels to put on the car. I dont have any pictures of the car but it is a completely stock Polar Silver 2003 996 Turbo Coupe. I bent a wheel on a pothole so iv decided that i need to pull the trigger on a new set. Iv narrowed my search down to these wheels. Could someone enlighten me on the differences of these two wheels? Iv been looking at lots of pictures and I cant tell the differences. The only thing that i can see a difference in is the price. If i were to go with the HRE's am i just paying for the name? or is the wheel a more quality made wheel? Im looking for a wheel I can use on the street and track.

Thanks

HRE S95R





Iforged Aero

 

HRE is a great wheel line, i love the quality, fit and finish of their product.... not to mention the customer service!

PM Sent!

 

Hre all the way! My opinion first off other than quality and finish..Hre has way better customer service than Iforged...I own a shop and known 3 customers to have had bad experiences with I forged..not to mention wrong offset...extended time and I even have a friend with that same wheel with one of the spokes CRACKED in half! (it did not crack due to accident on street he was at the track..thats it)

 

Those are both great wheels. I have to say HRE is the best as far as customer serice.

 

You can't really use any on the track. They're both heavy, and not the strongest.

Hre>iForged, but IMO, none will fit your need of street/track.

 

If you want first class customer service and quality, but willing to spend the money, go with HRE. If you arent looking to spend the money and dont care so much about customer service and possible quality/fitment issues, go with iForged. Not bashing them, but when a custom 3 piece wheel is made for your car and Vince @ iForged says you also need a spacer, there is a problem.

 

I See You Searching For Wheel But I Would Go With The Another Forged Brand!

You hit anyting hard enough, it will break. It doesn't matter who makes the wheel. HRE is a great quality. If you want lightweight and strength, take a look at Forgeline.

 

Pretty much everyone in the wheel business gets the barrels from the same supplier, so whether that wheel was an HRE, iForged, 360 Forged, the same thing would have happened. Maybe the driver just needs to be more careful.

 

Damage can happen to any wheel. Some brands just have greater tollerance than others.

The Aero's actually look more like the 545R now since they have a pushed in center hub.

Here's a more recent picture of the iForged Aero:


See how it dips in the middle more? Compared to the image you posted?

You might want to also consider the DPE ST5

I prefer the look of the Techart Formula II
