iForged, HRE, BBS general cost?
For those that have any of these mounted, what is the general average per wheel in the low end and high end versions? I have searched here and on Google, the prices I see for HRE are about $1500 per?
I did checked the sponsor Tire Rack, and their selection is limited to mainly BSS for comparisons to IF and HRE (IMHO)
Interested in mainly the HRE 540R and iForged PS Essen
What source did you use to purchase?

Check sponsor: Wheel Enhancement for HRE's and BBS. Their prices will be hard to beat.

Nobody gives you more ways to get the look you want:
1. Purchase new Porsche Factory alloys.
2. Purchase like-new used or restored Porsche alloys from us.
3. Have us refinish your Factory alloys. We restore, anodize, polish and chrome plate.
4. Purchase our aftermarket wheels--we offer the very best, including Kinesis, Fikse, BBS, HRE and Champion to name a few.
5. Exchange your straight, true Factory alloys for Factory alloys pre-finished the way you want.
6. Exchange your scratched/curb damaged Factory alloys for new or refinished Factory Alloys.
7. Trade in your straight, true Factory alloys for aftermarket or Factory wheels.

Without having to call what is a "guestimate", they don't list the price so you can make an informed decision between all of them like most websites
I understand they are all custom, but a ball park would be nice to figure your budget on mods, planning, better half compliance.

They're good guys for sure. But "hard to beat" is more like "impossible" to beat - any dealer who goes below MAP gets a call from HRE

Re: iForged, HRE, BBS general cost?
If you're willing to accept 19" wheels (you didn't mention the size you were looking for) the most drop-dead gorgeous wheels I've ever seen are the Fikse Chromas. I saw them on a 911 in Seattle. I know Fikse makes them for the Cayman too (they're 1-piece forged, so they're model-specific). They go for about $1100 each, but they make every other wheel I've seen from HRE or Champion look cheap by comparison. (Apologies to you HRE owners.) Thank goodness Fikse isn't making Chromas in 18s, or I'd be forced to be silly and buy them. It is also good that they look difficult to clean, further distancing me from ordering a set.

Re: iForged, HRE, BBS general cost?
Got a fast response from HRE from Wheelenhancement.com (thanks BTW) on the HRE 540R, just sent a note to Iforged for my local dealer location on the PS Essen, expecting similar prices. Prices seem to be ranging from $890 (BBS) to $1400 each
What's a good brand one tier down from the above in the $500 to $700 range, 18" & 19"? Just street driving.

Re: iForged, HRE, BBS general cost?
What wheels you get are your decision but I would definitely consider weight and strength as part of your decision. Some brands like Champion or Fikse have amazingly light wheels while other companies just make three piece wheels with a lot of bling.
