Default Worth the price????

This wheel in this link is a fully forged, completely custom 1-piece wheel available in 19x9.5. It will perfectly fit the RS4 with no spacers and can accommodate either a 275/30 or even 285/30 tire with no rubbing issues whatsoever. It is also one wheel that I think actually looks better than stock. Weight is 21lbs. Cost, however, is $1425 each. What do you all think?<ul><li><a href="http://www.hrewheels.com/monoblok/porsche/p40/">hot wheel for RS4</a></li></ul>

Default Not worth the price, but very nice. I'm not sure they will look better then stock when on the car...

but I do like the 19x9.5, weight and design.

I still think they look like the E46 M3 CS wheels though.

I've been thinking about them or one of the other HRE 1 piece forged wheels, but I'm waiting to see them on a RS4, plus HRE don't hold their value very well...at least in the past they haven't maybe these will.

Default Who worries about a wheel holding their value?

Cars and car parts are not investments. You are going to lose money as soon as you use them. No sense in worrying about their value once they're used.

Not a fan of HRE, for $1425 it should be Mg and 17#. Love the mesh (not everybody does).

Correction: You'll lose money when you BUY, not when you use them.
