Default yes, just stick with a real manufacturer ...

if hre is too hard to swallow price-wise, fikse and kinesis also offer nice products. there are some up-and-comers like dpe and angstrom that might also be worth the risk.

iforged, on the other hand, has had their chance to do right and has screwed up royally -- search the archives on any auduworld, vwvortex, e46fantics, or pretty much any auto enthusiast community of your choosing for backing data.

Default The spum aluminum outer lips on the Kineses- - ->

are not up to NY roads. Believe it or not, I am looking for a less expensive wheel that I will be less upset about trashing...

Our roads make a lava field look smooth. Combine the light weight of the HRE/Kinesis/Fikse families, the heavy weight of our cars and NY road and you have a recipe for constant repair...and you know the cost associated with that.

Default umm, i think the outer lips for the iforged and kinesis wheels ...

come from the same source.

i'd go with an 18" bbs lm ... those have forged lips as well as forged centers :-)
