Default DPE wheels forged 2 and 3 piece

So, has anyone heard good or bad things about DPE wheels???

I really like one of their five star multi piece wheels and the price isn't that bad.

I contacted DPE last summer about potentially carrying their wheels, someone sent me a PM last month!


Seriously though I think they have nice products but are simply experiencing new company growing pains.

I wanted to ask, is anyone else interested in these wheels?

Sure, I will post a link to their site. I have asked abou them before and got a lukewarm reception. If you guys want them I will get the ball rolling to set up and account. I only like a couple of them myself.

Let me know what you all think.

Sorry for the small pics

Depending on price of course, I could possibly be interested in some 19" or 20" R05 Variant S.

Anyone else interested?

I would need to sell my rims I have now though.

Last I checked, pricing was right in the maybe 2700-3000 per set for 20" 2pc Hi-Polished with rivets. I actually sent a reply to them so when I get some details worked I will let you guys know.

Yes pretty much, yet another reason I did not actively pursue the line. However, if there is demand......
