Last I've seen the price difference between HREs and I-Forged were like $150-$200usd, I'd rather pay more for HREs too, besides, they got a nicer center cap.
Also, I've heard I-Forged have resolved the clearcoat issue, a few members here have recently bought from I-Forged, maybe they can shed some light on this.
My choices for forged wheels, if I had the loot to spend, would be HRE, Kinesis, or Fikse.
