You went so far in the wrong direction, I didn't even know what to quote. I've seen different guys on here claim they are the next HRE or you use the same materials as HRE. Just take their tour once and you will see there is a lot more that goes into a wheel than just finding what a top selling wheel design is and telling your manufacturer to make that. The more little companies who come out hoping to get successful, the more the market devalues and floods. You know this already.

Who is the guy that machines all these wheels in Miami, COR? The reason I ask is I'm curious how cheap it actually is to start a wheel company, aside from advertising and promoting it. I'd like to call him and see.

What is this suppose to mean? That companies who charge more for their wheels do it because they a higher overhead cost or sell more volume? Did you ever think that they may invest more into technical/safety testing that actually make their product worth the price you pay for it. The difference between a company like you and a company like HRE is that you phone in your order versus HRE who controls every step in house. I encourage you to take a tour of the HRE facility and maybe a business class. It will help you smaller companies understand the concerns of us consumers, which in return will help you grow as a company, don't you agree?

I have a wife and two kids who's safety I care about. If I was going to buy wheels, I think I would want a little more control on the manufacturing process for safety assurance.

This topic comes up a lot about these Miami wheel manufacturers. Why do you guys always pull this crap? Just because we call you out and use HRE (your god) as an example, we are apparently affiliated with them? Until you come out with a better product that earns my trust over HRE, my favorite wheel company still remains as HRE.

 

This is what you wrote
I WILL LIKE TO SAY I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HRE WHEELS OR THEIR PRODUCTS

I really wish you would listen to your own words Man!
Instead of trying my company and keeping forum members from properly viewing my products.

One thing I will ask you though, if you are going to keep hijacking my PAID THREADS, YES PAID THREADS please identify your self.. WHO ARE YOU? WHAT CAR DO YOU DRIVE? WHO ARE YOU AFFILIATES? as is very obvious, you must have some affiliation with something. I would not be surprised if you work for someone and come on these types of forums to make your affiliates product look good and others look bad. and if you are doing that. thats really low. I have introduce myself, my company and my products to this forum as a paying vendor ( you know the type that keep forums communities like these alive) because I have nothing to hide.

oh and this post.. read below

WHO IS YOUR FRIEND? You know your insider.. Stories are not creditable with a he said she said schemes. I mean anybody could make up a friend say what ever they like. Right!


OH AND AS YOU WROTE ABOVE ME, STATING THAT HRE IS MY GOD.. YOU ARE WRONG THEY ARE REAL FAR FROM BEING..

lets make this easy stop hi jacking my threads, and let the 6 speedonline community enjoy the display of our fine products.

6SPEEDONLINE MEMBERS I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO OUR INTRODUCTION AND I APOLOGIZE THIS THREAD HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT OF TOPIC .

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN HELP OUT WITH . I WILL BE GLAD TO DO SO.

PS. MODERATORS ARE VERY LINIENT IN THIS FORUM,,. uH!

 

Sweet mother...The guy just wants to do an intro to the board as a new sponsor. Stop busting his chops...sheesh.

 

Bobby - get out the wet noodle and beat up speedappeal

Speed settle down. I understand your concerns as well as most people. But you have to also understand for the longest time no one questioned HRE and any testing data they might have. They have never(as far I as I have been buying them) presented nor claim to have any certs from STL, VIA, JWL, TUV, etc. New guy comes out and we question their quality but I have had 5 sets of HRE rims and I like them but not impressed as some people have been. They are okay but competition is a good thing...

HDM I wish you well in your business venture. If you have the STL results please PDF and post it. It will lend to your credibility of the wheel being road safe. I am sure they are.

 

This is , glad I like my stock wheels. Clearly there are some 'out to get' others albeit at the comedic of level internet anonimity. If your going to call someone or some company out have the ball$ to cite your credentials if your in the business and not hide behind a username.

 

Look, no need to for anybody to get wild up here. We are all here to learn. I have a lot of respect for creative people including HDM. Although I may have came off hard, I'm in no way trying to effect your business or interfere with promoting your product.

I come from a field outside of car parts unfortunately where I've built up my success. Any strong company requires a strong leader. Obviously HDM is working hard to stand behind his product and be a strong leader. The only thing I suggest is that you be more careful with the way you respond to questions/comments, that includes not responding at all. I noticed that the few wheel vendors on here such as 360 or HRE will respond to every question asked in any thread. I could imagine it takes a lot of work to feed out each question and answer them, but it shows that they are prepared to handle these type of situations in a professional mannerism.

I believe if someone requests test documents like "ForgedWheeler" did, maybe you can provide them with them? In my opinion, these are the type things that earn the trust of those who you are selling to. Being prepared to immediately display these is a plus!

Again, no intentions to effect your business. As a consumer who spends a lot of money on aftermarket parts (including wheels!), I hope you can understand where I'm coming from.

 

Your characterization of our conversation is grossly inaccurate. No wheel companies, large or small, put me up to talking about this.
As I have said MANY times, I simply want to arm the forum readers with the critical safety questions to ask when making a decision to buy. Nothing more. "Choose the style you like and then convince yourself that they are safe."

After these postings, some wheel companies encouraged me, some just the opposite. No problem. This is a forum.
After these postings, some forum members encouraged me, some just the opposite. No problem. This is a forum.

I have never attacked any company. This is a forum for the free exchange of information, ideas and help. I believe that wisdom is power and all companies will work harder and make better products when they are held accountable by those making the purchases.
I am well aware that many wheel companies source components from common vendors. It is the engineering and testing, or lack thereof, that goes into the use of those components that is of concern to me and MANY other forum members.

It is your company's privilege to hold your STL test data proprietary. But I have seen many such reports and they don't contain trade secrets. These are standardized tests to determine if the wheels are strong enough and durable enough when subjected to a specific load. It is a "pass or fail".
Your suggestion that forum members approach STL directly for the data is disingenuous. You know full well that they will not share information with third parties.

I will openly applaud the first, and every, wheel company that shares their data with members. In the meantime, I will continue to ask questions.


Good luck with your new business venture.

 

I have a better idea. Send me a set of the wheels up here to Northern New Jersey. If I can drive more then 10 miles on them and they're not bent, cracked, squared, leaking, flattened, stolen, or otherwise completely ruined....then they pass.



LOL j/k....trying to lighten the mood a little.

 

If you can get any wheels to pass go through this pothole with a small bend - I will buy them!

Jersey Potholes? That ain't nuttin!!

 

Lets do it

 

You call that a pothole? That ain't no stink'n pothole...

 

Imagine driving down the road and falling into a sink hole like this

 

Thats the reason roadhazard insurance exist.

 

I think you meant life insurance!

 

Now check it out on a black on black!



Oh and uh MURDERED OUT!




sorry for the pictures the photoshoot is not quite ready yet. Just wanted to throw in a little something.
But I appreciate you guys checking it out.
