SL55 with New IForged Wheels
That Looks Horrible..
Why would you get fake HRE wheels on an SL55.. People are crazy.
BTW. the lip should have been a LOT bigger in the rear. He shoould put the stocks back on, the car lost its class.

HRE has some benefits (edited) to IForged, but not everyone has the dough to drop on them. That is the Precision Series Daytona Wheel. Picture is hard to tell but has a 4 inch lip in the rear and a 2.75 inch lip up front.
Thanks!

HRE is killer at brand imaging, demanding an insane premium for a precieved quality, and spend a fortune on marketing to back it all up. But in the end if you put a $10k HRE next to a $4k CCW I would bet an engineer wouldn't find a legitimate quality/strength difference between the two.
That $$ buys you a fancy name, and a company that won't even stand behind it's product if/when you have issues. Sounds great to me.

Besides that, I think the wheels look pretty slick on that SL55, and guarunteed 99.9% of people are going to be able to tell the difference between them and HRE's, if branding is that big of a deal to you.
Ok the far superior was general. However there is definitely technical machining processes and use of components that do make HRE a tad bit nicer. I have seen them side by side and spoken to the boys at HRE about it. HRE I believe does alot of their manf in house so they have great quality control. Yes you pay more for a brand.
I myself have had 3 sets of IForged on personal cars. Cant beat the price and they look good.
Manny I think it is stock ride. Those are 19's i think. 20's would look good but be tanks on that speedy car.
