I'm not insulting a member of your family or anything. I stated my own experience and observations of HRE. Take it or leave it. I'd take my money to one of the many great companies out there. HREs are pretty too look at, but you'll never see a set on my car.

Your own experiences with HRE notwithstanding - the first two pictures that you posted and the three posts that they reference have nothing to do with HRE. As was pointed out previously the second wheel is not even an HRE piece. If anyone looks into those posts (and their history) in some detail (from the background behind them to the truth behind the posts) it's an excellent example of how the internet can be manipulated for personal reasons and how unsubstantiated claims online can have long lasting effects even if they are hollow accusations. The fact that you continue to reference them is proof of that...

I understand that you had a bad experience (and IIRC there were some issue the the range rover wheels at the time) but redredging ancient history doesn't add anything useful to the discussion.

Reading the 6speed post I was impressed that HRE was willing to work with someone who had 5 year old wheels that has been modified in any capacity.

Now I do have HRE's on the Camaro and I have dealt with HRE's service department and I was very happy with how quickly the helped me (with an issue that was 100% my fault).

As Steve said, there are plenty of great wheel manufacturers and vendors - Rushforth, HRE, Forgeline, etc. - out there and it up to you to make your choice who you buy from. Of the three listed there I would not hesitate to buy any of them.
