HRE fixes wheels for a fairly nominal fee. ($200-300)

gs4will- Thank you for the information. I have been to their site and have read that they make a great wheel. But I haven't seen much info about the wheel I like! The prices sound great and I am happy they come in chrome, I wish someone had a pic of the spoke wheel on a Gs. And your right, they look very close to the Works, but something about this wheel just grabs me. I was looking at BR5's but I am really digging this wheel now!

jpa- no problem may be our chief resident photoshop guru globeclk can perform his majic and give us a pic later....BR5s are nice also, but the prices on the versus rims are very reasonable(you do get discount from msrps)...

Cant help with the translation, but, you can see the Isotta spoke at the Volk Japan web-site.....Click on "Rays wheel database", then select "Versus Isotta", and you can see application chart and oversees pricing....
Heres the link: http://www.volkracing.co.jp/
GS4Will, Manaray, Dennis, etc. if you guys read this, can you give me your opinion on where Arrow Enterprises of Japan ranks amongst wheels manufacturers????? Correct me if Im wrong, but isnt that what ultimately determines the quality of a given product line??

jpa 2400? I would also like to say that IF money is no issue(like it IS for me) and you really like one of the HRE designs, that is the wheel to go with. I LOVE a couple of them, but I cant justify the cost....Even at the comparitively awesome rate being offered by Dennis at Wheelkenetics.....
i.e. 440-R series in 19x8.5", 19x10" w/brushed finish($3550+$1000 for finish=$4550 for 19's w/out tires=cant do it)

The HRE's are very tight and sound like the pimp wheel in terms of quality. I do like some of the designs but the Versus Isotta just does it for me. Thanks for the link, I am going to check that out.

I did find something very similar thru one of our wheel gurus (sorry not manaray this time). Zauber makes it.

tiny-to a certain extent you are abs.correct. however, though arrow ent is not on the top 5s, but lately, their new offerings are very good in quality from the look of it...BUT, the true test is on the street. on wheels such as RAYS and work, personally i have not experienced any thing bad about them. this apply to SSR, WEDS and ADVAN as well...they balance easily and takes small pot-holes with grace...


Versus Isottas- on 19s, you will get some domino deep dish lip look with +45 offsets on the following sizes(19x8/68mm, 19x9/80mm, 19x10/93mm lips)
they are made by RAYs..need i say more? i have inquired with japan on the prices for this new rim, so we will see..

Zauver Gettin-not bad of rim for the price...
