There are tons of wheel manufacturers out there worth supporting. I hope you're able to get your wheels, but if I was in your position I would contact my credit card company and let them resolve it. That'll get it resolved quickest.

WOW HRE!!! Thats one of my front runners. The list keeps getting smaller. I'm not going to spend thet kind of money and get crap C/S.NOT HAPPENING!! Forgeline is moving up FAST....

I still have yet to see any quality problems with IForged or HRE wheels,besides customer service with IForged,I think both maker produce are great wheels,I guess it might depend if you're dealing with distributor or directly with the company,I got HRE 540R 20x11 & 20x13 for my widebody Lexus GS400 Twin Turbo in a jiffy

Yeah, not really on the HRE part. I've never had a single issue in getting them in under the time frame promised and the quality of HRE is second to none. You will never be upset that you decided to put the finest wheel on your car when you own a set of HRE's. Ask me how I know (<----HRE Owner/Dealer)

I'm dealing direct with I-forged, just very dissappointed with their "customer" service. My customer really wanted these wheels I couldn't talk him into anything else, and now he knows why I didn't want to use them. I DO NOT treat my customers this way so I expect the same in return.

I've never had problems with Intro, CCW, or Fikse. Dave and Lynn at Intro are my favorite to work with!

I know forgeline has excellent customer service and are fantastic to deal with even with a complicated customer like myself.

Had a set for a ranger rover sport that needed to rebuilt twice due to them sheering the bolts holding the wheel together. Finally gave up on the set of wheels and sold them. I felt bad because I recommended the HRE wheels to a friend. Bad idea.

Had a few friends in the Mopar LX community that had delivery issues, build quality issues, and also structural issues.

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.

Do a search on the many forums across the net. You'll find quite a number of issues with structural integrity, build quality, and delivery times. Thats the beauty of the internet. I'm sure someone will come in here and claim its all internet heresay.

Just like John Hennessey

I highly recommend giving John from CCW a call. Great company to deal with.
