Cool Which Company is better???

As we all know, there not too parts available. But for now many of us are still debating on which rim company to go with. I've personally heard so many different rumors about company's using cheap material, to oder company's not delivering the expected quality that we payed for.I like opinions, many people live n breath racing. I dont I need help. Price to me does matter. QUALITY, DESING, STYLE is the most import. Allot of these rims company look the same, but not all of them deliver good quality. I've personally spoken to many rim company, wholesaler, dealer etc. Everybody has a different opinion or think they know it all. These are companies I researched and these are some of the opinions that I've heard. Please fell free to educate me and others about rims and correct fitments.

1.HRE
Great wheel company awesome resume, Overall there a killer company but over the years I've hear HRE has gone down on the quality of aluminum that they use to produce their wheels. In my opinions if that is case then their wheels are over priced. But I still think they are the best.

2.Modular Society/Autocouture
My opinion: Great design, maket fair pricing.
Rumors: I've spoken to a dealer that was a seller of that rim company, he stated that many customers where complaining and the quality. And They claim That they can give a 6 inch lip in back and 4 inch i front. "I would love to buy it from them,But their quality is Ifi.)

3.Sevas
My opinions: Looks good, Fair market price
Rumors: A very reputable whole seller has mentioned that their wheels were
MADE IN CHINA, To me thats a big no no. If your going to save money, make sure u deliver a good quality. Another rumor is that their shattered and broke in many piece and a piece flew in the dash board and could of killed the driver.Hmmm Sevas
MADE IN THE USA is sometimes better espacial if you want to help the American economy.

4.Asanti
My opinion: Over priced, for over sized car, for over sized wallets, and people that are follower. This all sukers that have asanti on a G.LOL

Feel free to finish and post comments, here are some other companies that I know little about so lets get to work and crush those bimmer fans,lol

5. DPE
6.WORKS
7.IFORGED
8.COR WHEELS
9.
10.
11.
12.

Rays Engineering have produced solid quality forged wheels for a long time. Not many would question thier quality. They are extremely stong and most are very lightweight. They are available in a variety of offsets and fittments. However the process of forging them in the way they are produced, and being built of superior materials makes them expensive. They are extremely popular with the "JDM" crowd who jock all automotivve parts made in Japan, hence they can be found on the rides of any kid with a few thousand extra bucks to spend.

Personally, I find the styling uninspired and not aesthetically pleasing but to each his own. Their quality is unquestioned and their raacing heritage is a proven one.
