That's what bothers me about HREs, iForged, etc. If you are paying that much for a product, you have the right to know the specifications. I'm guessing that it has to do with preventing competitors from knowing the best offsets for each car, and also to prevent used sales. As a consumer, I would demand to know before I make that purchase.

secretive? that's weird. last time i checked (though that's like a yr or two ago) they were not secret about offsets. they make it public

in fact if you look at the back face of the wheel, you will find the "serial" number. all the wheel information is right in there. my hre setup before, all info were presented well before i bought the wheels

now iforged, that's another story, they do make everything a secret

Nice. Is this a forum vendor? Cuz I tried to work out a deal and they never replied. It must be because you already went in for a test fit. ha ha ha

Stock wheels for me on the IS-F please.....some wheels do look good on the IS-F but sorry not feeling those HRE's even though I know u dumped $$$ on them.

The stepped lip makes a 19 look like a 18 (just look at the BBS LM) and actually makes the car look "weaker" IMO but that's just me.

I love to modify cars but I think the IS-F looks best with stock rims or 1-piece wheels.

I think they look great!! I think some people on this board need to fall back on the old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" lol.

I'd love to put a set of those on my Blue IS-F but to tell ya the truth, I'm so sick of buying expensive rims for something I only keep a year or two before getting a new car and trying to sell them and losing my *** on them. Tempting though after seeing your pics. Very sweet

heh thanks for your opinion... but like I said in the first post I got them for the light weight of the rims...they weigh less than the stock rims so I am happy with them...
