Why go so defensive? I think everyonce can make up their own minds.

WELL I HOPE THAT ASWERS THE QUESTION BETWEEN IFORGED AND HRE...............

I do however agree with your exclamation of we should all be positive about more Lexus owners donning higher end modifications - it makes us all look good.
One thing I DON'T want to and WILL NOT allow to happen here is for there to be two camps, and two camps only regarding wheels.
Let's not get inot a pizzing contest over wheels, OK?

i agree with dex, whatever floats your boat. you like it that's good, you don't like it that's fine, but not flame or anything here. i have heard plenty of good and bad stories about iforged and hre too. i don't want to go into details coz' i know it will just end up in flame wars and unnecessary conflicts. i believe what i have read and make my decisions from that. all i can say is, read more and research more, and get what you think is right
and dex, you are darn right, who the hell would pay retails for hre? you gotta be kidding me

Sorry to to offend anybody DEX, you are right it just gets me fired up with everybody give you a hard time becouse you decided to up grade your car. Its like if you dont get what they like, they will flame you.........
Your right IFORGED and HRE are not alike. But both are similar in looks. I like both wheels and have nothing bad to say about neither. It just got me mad when i read in the first page, when somebody was flaming MIKE about the choise he made buying his wheels. Saying IFORGED are HRE nock offs......WHO CARES......And if they did more reasearch on both wheels they would se there are different.........
But anyway everybody has opinions, at lease we all drive LEXUS here.........

Thanks again for the compliments folks...glad you guys like the wallpaper...
Looks like it doesn't size down to 1280x1024 too well (the ratio of the 1600x1200 is 4:3 whereas 1280x1024 is 5:4) so if someone needs it correctly, let me know and I'll make one the right size....right now, it will smush it left to right if you do any resolution that has a different aspect ratio from 1600x1200 (4:3)...1024/768 and 800x600 are also 4:3 so it will scale down fine on those resolutions...
Steve - Why not both? Some 19's on your Supra and some 20's on your SC? Both with lotsa lips...
Rominl - You're right, no pays retail...for EITHER...

Hey manaray....
Perhaps you should fix your post title to read:
A new damn HAS come.... (BTW...i'm not seeing it...)
_______________________________________________________________________________
As = adv.
To the same extent or degree; equally: The child sang as sweetly as a nightingale.
For instance: large carnivores, as the bear or lion.
When taken into consideration in a specified relation or form: this definition as distinguished from the second one.
Has = 3d pers. sing. pres. of Have.
v. had, (hd) hav·ing, has (hz)
v. tr.
To be in possession of: already had a car.
To possess as a characteristic, quality, or function: has a beard; had a great deal of energy.
To possess or contain as a constituent part: a car that has air bags.
To occupy a particular relation to: had many disciples.
To possess knowledge of or facility in: has very little Spanish.
To hold in the mind; entertain: had doubts about their loyalty.
To use or exhibit in action: have compassion.
To come into possession of; acquire: Not one copy of the book was to be had in the entire town.
To receive; get: I had a letter from my cousin.
To accept; take: I'll have the peas instead of the spinach.
To suffer from: have defective vision.
To be subject to the experience of: had a difficult time last winter.
To cause to do something, as by persuasion or compulsion: had my assistant run the errand.
To cause to be in a specified place or state: had the guests in the dining room; had everyone fascinated.
To permit; allow: I won't have that kind of behavior in my house.
To carry on, perform, or execute: have an argument.
__________________________________________________________________________________
"As" for the wheels, I agree that the HRE's looked much better. The finish on these looktoo bland to me. I am not saying get them chromed, but at least the lips can be polished a little more.
Manaray, you're the role model of how things should be done....don't disappoint me now!
BTW...how's that brake kit project coming...those wheels don't hide the rust on your rotors....
You have taught me lots of things...you're like the american idol of CL when it comes to do things correctly....don't make me change my mind...

A new damn HAS come.... (BTW...i'm not seeing it...)[quote]
Yeah, a simple typo...kinda like "damn"...it's "DAWN" as in....
Main Entry 1: dawn
Pronunciation: 'don, 'dän
Function: intransitive verb
Etymology: Middle English, probably back-formation from dawning daybreak, alteration of dawing, from Old English dagung, from dagian
Date: 15th century
1 : to begin to grow light as the sun rises
2 : to begin to appear or develop
3 : to begin to be perceived or understood <the truth finally dawned on us>
Main Entry 2: dawn
Function: noun
Date: 1599
1 : the first appearance of light in the morning followed by sunrise
2 : BEGINNING <the dawn of the space age>
Typos happen...
The finish on the iForged is the same as before. Brushed centers, high polished lip (inside and out), and full clearcoat. My HRE's did not have polished inside lip and the inside lip wasn't clearcoated either. So these are bland as my HRE's then...as for having a higher polished lip, well it's as shiny as my previous wheels and I even considered doing brushed lips. As you well know, I'm not into "Icy Hot Stunaz" and their "Lords of Bling" type crap...
As for the rust on the rear rotor, well I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do with my entire brake system. I've been contemplating doing a full four coner brake setup which is why I haven't been in a hurry to get new cad plated rear rotors. I'm not going to spend my time or money until I know exactly what my plan of action is. I might just do some new rear rotors and some caliper paint or I might have a 4-piston brake system back there...not sure yet...
As for the brake kit project, if you're talking about the Wilwood project, I pulled out of that project a while ago. Corners were being cut and I wasn't down with that. Plus the vendor turned a little shady. I won't back a product I don't believe in.
