Send me pictures of yours - they are a definite upgrade from my 18" stock - and I bought them slightly used with 1500 miles on them - I paid $2500 for all 4 from a guy who upgraded to 20" on his 6 series. I think the 19" are almost perfect and for the price I got them for.

RadEnergie is not a German brand, but rather an American brand created by WheelPower of Huntington Beach, CA. for the US market because anything with a German sounding name sells at a much larger premium than a plain old English or Japanese sounding name. It is a play on the German word Rad which means Wheel and Energie which approximates Power. Funny hah hah!
The reason you can't find this brand in Germany is that it doesn't exist outside of a very few markets in the US. The design team is based in Germany, but the RE brand is definitely owned by WheelPower.
The R10 is forged by Rays using 8000 ton forges which only exist in Japan. They are truly gorgeous, and QC is extremely tough, which is probably why production is so small.

Guys I just saw these right now made by Venaci a similar design.....but, if they are Japanese made and JAWA approved does that mean these are the once limited made true forged one's by Rays?
