I really like both SLR's but the matte black looks very aggressive.

I agree with Blue_Monster about the quality issues of iForged, let alone they are cheap looking copies of HRE's. iForged should take some lessons on CNC machining.
I have 5 friends of mine who have all had issues with there iForged wheels........not including myself. Is that some type of coincidence?
But what do I know, I've only been dealing with wheel industry about 15 years now.

Redlinerobert, you must have a special relationship with iForged to defend them, because you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Lets pull some more BS out of the *** now, shall we?

im not saying one is better than the other but, from an engineers standpoint, there isnt a whole alot of difference in building wheels, forging techniques are all industry standards. forged wheel companys develope wheels with programs the analize stress and load to the same degree. they are all cnc'd and fit an finishing are all at the same level well at least the ones listed. and we all know hardware and barrels are all shared by the same manufacturers. even companys like Ashanti which is for an urban clientle make really great wheels. the only true issues that people have with wheels are leaks and bending of barrels from pot holes. the lips/barrels would be an issue with the barrel supplier which 90% of the US wheel companies share. and from what i see on leaks 50% of it is caused by the tire mounters, not knowing or having the right equipment. all three pieces wheels are siliconed to keep them air tight, and silicone eventually wheathers, and then there is just plan human error in the application or better yet chrome of lips that leak under neath the chrome which is why HRE tends to not offer chromed lips to avoid such issues. but chrome now has advanced and getting better every year. so it comes down to personal preference in style (design and or weight/performance). each wheel company cater to certain niches. i agree HRE makes some of the worlds best looking wheels and have paid there dues building a rep through marketing, developing, innovating and customer service. Iforged is a newer company than HRE. even newier is SDS which are extremely nice in design and quality or CW wheels that are cheaply priced but exceptionly light and strong. so flaming wheel companys about things you guys truly dont know is just dumb. as for knocking off, jesus crist the entire wheel company is a knockoff or has designed new wheels from getting ideas from other companies, especially today. look at Deeco from Giovanna, he is probably the most knocked off wheel company in the world. to each his own.
