iForged is well known on just about any forum for having many issues. But HRE seems to have their number as well. My experience with the ranger rover wheels was a joke.

There were also a number of issues with the wheels being banned by Viper racing leagues and maybe a few others. I stopped keeping track.

I've seen first hand how those wheels hold up under street conditions. Was my experience a rare one? Apparently not.

Beautiful wheels, but for the price, I'd rather support forgeline, ccw, BBS, or kinesis. I consider HRE the lamborghini of the wheel world. Nice jewelry.

as far as I could tell,there is nothing about broken HRE wheels in those links,but Kinesis wheels, and if theese morons want to ban particular brand of wheels,why don't they ban cars in general? they break too,ban axles as they break,ban tires ,cause they blow,ban engines ,cause they fail,throw rods,e.t.c.,ban glass ,cause it breaks ,I'm sure any wheel under heavy loads race after race will show stress fractures,BBS included

CCW are pretty good wheels,but I'm sick of looking at them,as 75% of Supra owners have a set of CCW Classics and I'm a Supra fanatic
