Default HRE / iForged

What is the difference between the iForged Aeros and the HRE 545? They look the same to me. The iForged looked to cost slightly less, but other than that, I couldn't see much difference.

They are both 3-pc wheels. So they are all good but basically the iForged are knock offs of HRE. But both are good/great looking wheels.

I tried to price out the HRE at Bell Tire, but with tires for 19 inch wheels was ~$6900! 18s were ~6100 with tires.... I want them, but I don't think I can spend that much on wheels.... I may get C6 wheels instead, but I don't know... maybe just keep all the money in my pocket. Regardless, I need new tires this year.

Call them knock offs if you want... They really aren't. The styles are all very similar, but that is the same with many wheel companies. They are still completely custom 3 piece wheels, made specifically for your car. They are cheaper, but the quality is right up there. Lay an HRE wheel and an iForged wheel next to each other, see if you can see where the iForged piece is inferior. I can gaurantee you won't be able to.

The price is up there, but at least that keeps everyone from having the same exact wheel. If you want to go with something cheaper, but similar, you can go with Intro.

Get a 2 piece wheel, with more expensive looking styling, at a cheaper price.
