ok first of all, I want the 22x10 for all 4 wheels. It is better to follow like the stock one, all 4 wheels the same size.
I had three people contacted HRE directly (Peter,Arling,TCM), I feel so bad because I annoyed these people for the past few weeks.
HRE can only make 22x9.5 for all 4 wheels due to the parts availability.
Iforged offered me 22x10.0 with 2" front lip and 2.5". Can I actually get different size lip with same size width?
Avus, I like the style but I am already in love with the HRE,
Also Avus is a new brand.
So what should I do? I am ready to order now.

the 645 or the 647? i like both. i would go with the staggard fitment. anyhow if i forged has the look your going for then do it. also GF1-5 are the size, quality and look you are looking for. if I-Forged has the look then i would go with it.
I didn't realize you did not want to run staggard setup...
We can also do:
9.5x22 (2.5" Lip)F
9.5x22 (2.5" Lip)R
We cannot fit a 10" unfortunatly unless you do a fender extention kit....
Yes Avus is a fairly new brand, however they use the same outters as HRE so there really isn't anything to be "worried about"... Also the AVUS are MUCH less expensive than the HREs and in stock... HRE is a good wheel (Hell they are on my car) however it doesn't seem they can do what you are asking...as for Iforged, my friends have had nightmares with their BMWs through them...
Let me know if you change your mind or somthing doesn't work out...

Hello everyone, my name is Derrick and I have frequented this site for quite some time but have not posted. My friend jcramair referred me to this great community and I must say, you guys have some AWESOME vehicles!!!
I am a Lexus owner and I have iForged wheels on my car. I can honestly say that the wheels have great craftsmanship, finishing and durability. My car (GS400) is lowered aggresively with a Tein coilover suspesion and I drive in NYC alot, and the wheels stand up to the punishment! I have had no issues with the finish of the wheels.
I am also very aware that iForged has some scary customer service stories out there, I did alot of research on these issues and most if not all of them were the cause of the vendor. Retailers taking deposits on orders and closing shop, stalling customers on wheel orders, because they did not have the funds availible to have them released, etc. It is truely a shame, because the brand equity of a great product is being eroded by its distribution network. Perhaps in time that will change
As far as the HRE argument, I think it is simply a matter of taste. If the exclusive HRE designs are what you are looking for, then go for HRE. If one of the proprietary iForged designs tickles your fancy, then by all means, iForged it is. Both are products with stellar quality, yet its no question who is winning the reputation race between the two.
DEETZ- the reason iForged can offer you a larger lip in the rear with the same width wheel, is most likely be the fact that they would be using a 2pc design. With 2pc wheels, the offset has a direct correlation to the size of the lip. So for instance if you run a 20x10 35offset (just using round numbers) you may get the 2"lip, but if you run a 20x10 25 offset, it may get you a 2.5" lip. With 3pc wheels the offset is largely a function of the inner barrel, not the outer. When I was deciding on wheels, I asked if a 10.5" wide wheel would net be a larger lip than a 10, it did not, because the width was being added to the inside. Also to my knowledge the outer lips are only availible in .5" increments, so a certain offset range has a certain lip size.
I really like an aggresive lip on my wheels, so I chose a 2pc, 20x10 with a 42 offset for the rear, I have a 3.35" lip.
Have a good one guys.

I have to say that I personally have seen D2autosport (Derrick)I-forges wheels and they look excellent. The finish on the wheels is awesome and up there with HRE and that is coming from someone with 2 set's of HRE wheels. I also beleive that they hold just as good structure wise as HRE. Just my 2 cents
I gather all the info and here they are
HRE 645R
22x9.5 with 2Ă¢â‚¬Â lip all round
AVUS AF-501s
22x9.5(2.5" Lip!!)
22x10.5(3" Lip!!)
or
22x9.5 with 2.5Ă¢â‚¬Â lip all round
Iforged Aero
22x10 with 2Ă¢â‚¬ÂF and 2.5Ă¢â‚¬ÂR
Some questions:
How can Avus 10.5" fit the rear? Won't it stick out? If not, why can't I get 22x10.5 all round?
Is it actually possible to get different lip size? like the one from the Iforged.

Figure out what style you like (6spoke, 5spoke, mesh, etc) and then go from there on lip sizing/width/etc.
Take a look at the 'Pepper Turbo that I posted in the Cayenne Forums with 22" wheels and a aggressive drop!

I agree, I think they will look killer on it!! We have a set in 22" coming for our company Cayenne with black centers and chrome lip (the truck is black). It should look killer!!

I should be receiving my Aero's in another week or so, so I'm told. The only reason I chose them was for the price difference. Custom offsets and lips was another plus. Customer service has not been an issue. They said they would stand by their product. FWIW
