Awesome man. I haven't seen those wheels before. Though I don't like rivots, I still think they are bad ***. How much was everything?

They only came with the rivits. I still love em'. They look just like the Iforged or HRE wheels. I got em' dirt cheap because I work at Discount Tire Co. and even got the tires free. Lets just say I spent well under a grand shipped.

Interesting, I almost ordered those, bout 8months ago. I even posted a thread in the wheel section. I ended up changing my mind and went with some Fikse's. Anyways, nice set of wheels, now do something with that photoshoped sig you go there. JK!

I really dont think you can honestly say they look just like HRE 547Rs or Iforged Classics.... They are somewhat similiar only in that they are a split five, but there are major differences.

Pm sent bro.

The chrome ones haven't been on Ebay because they didn't have any in the country! The company stopped production on them after already backordered for some reason. Then I had to wait for them to make enough to ship a bunch of containers worth of wheels to get mine. They updated some things like the offset on the 9.5"(rears) to a more favorable 45mm instead of 35mm and the quality is better too.

Its cool about the HRE's and Iforged. I understand their are major differences, but to the untrained eye...they are real close. I'd love to have those wheels, but money is a factor. I can't stand to have some corvette or played out wheels on my car. I want to be unique in a good way, although I still like many of the other wheels. So to sum it up...these wheels are the best looking, most rare and within a budget for ME.

Very nice....howd you get Eagle F1's for free? Who did you buy the chromies from. All thats on ebay is the black ones. Also is your bolt pattern 5x120mm? Ones on ebay say BMW or Camaro...
