Hey guys,
I'm thinking about purchasing these rims. They are Iforged Seneka 3 piece HRE wheels. These photos are from ebay, starting bid $3300. I'm pretty sure I can find these locally in Southern California, and maybe even cheaper. The store is in Miami. Kind of hesitant to do business when that much cash is involved
They are custom fit for the new E60, size 20X9 fronts and 20X10 backs. Just trying to get some opinions in here. Everyone here at the forum has real good taste

I believe $3,300 is the normal price for these wheels new meaning you can actually get these wheels at that price from any retailer that will sell iForged wheels. Having said that, I would opt to get these from a local wheel shop, or from iForged themselves (their factory is in Anaheim).
For what it's worth, these will look REAL NICE on the e60.

yes realy cool wheel and NOT CHROME BUT POLISHED: chrome looks cheap but polished looks a million dollars.
I trade my 1O1 for a set of 2O anytime

Yeah, the description does say polished and not chrome plated. The ones that are chrome plated have a different kind of shine, kind of like a mirror. I prefer silver rims over chrome any day, but these polished ones are not bad.

Funny thing about their description, they correctly state that the wheels are not HRE wheels. However, they have 'HRE' in their title probably for marketing purposes...trying to get their ad listed for anyone who puts 'HRE' in the search engine. :thumbsdown:

Those are really nice wheels. I thought iForged wheels were really pricey, like HREs but $3300 seems like a great deal. Aren't HRE's about doubled that?

From what limited research I was able to do over at the e46fanatics forums, iForged uses the same machines as HRE to cut/construct the wheels and the same finisher to powder coat, polish, chrome, etc. the wheel centers.
