For all those that have HRE's or I-forged, how is the quality on them? Are they strong wheels ? Also if one was to get them without the clearcoat on the face or the lip , how hard (or easy) is it to upkeep the wheels so they look good all the time? I have never had polished aluminum, just chrome. I live in Cali so it rains occasionally but not much.

Also is an HRE wheel better or a Work Wheel? (Rezax in particular)

 

i have hre, love them, super strong, very high quality stuff. i love them. i would get another set for my is300 if i hae the money. it's just plain good stuff. don't get clear coat on the lip, it's stupid. i don't have it, i am in cali. whenever you like just polish the hell out of it and it's very shiny. with clear coat over time it gets dull, ugly... that's another main reason why i love my hre

i have zero complain about them even if i try to pick one

 

So how about clear on the face, is that a good idea? Also the outer lip is a rolled lip, is that pretty strong? Thanks

 

sorry for late reply, i was on vacation

yes, clear coat on the center for sure, you want that. the lip i leave with no clear so i can polish any time, but i don't plan on really polishing the center

the lips are strong. i remmber hitting a pretty bad pot hole, my wheels are just as round
