Thank goodness the stock wheels are quite nice.
I agree with you 100%. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I know damn well what beadlock is, as I do multi-piece wheels. My point is when you have multi-piece wheels like that (when you don't truly plan on using them to be changed to various sizes, which, let's be honest, you won't be) than it just ends up being a WORTHLESS addition to the wheel that makes them very busy.
Well, your demonstration of knowledge preceeded you when you called them "faux beadlocks", and even after we mentioned three piece rims you continued on "fake alley socket thingies" path. It's not a "worthless edition" it is how the wheel is manufactured to enable it to be what it is.

Somewhere within your vast skills of estute observation you missed the fact that I am not Mr. Skelton. Tim is Tim, I am Dan. There were two of us replying to your incorrect information in the post.

...and again you flex your ignorance. Attention everyone, HRE wheels are now "cheesy, cheap, discount-tire wheels." Lumadar has cleared this up for us.

You are mocking Tim for not reading when you called me Tim from my reply. Ah, an interesting twist of fate. You make this far to easy.

Your ignorance knows no bounds, I fear for the future of America. Wow, guess I can never clean them and they will always look like crap.

[sarcasm]Being as my HRE 645's are cheesy, cheap discount-tire rims that will be forever ruined by brake dust I cannot clean, I no longer want them, anyone want them for free now? Worthless junk.[/sarcasm]

Didn't you know Lumador? Lightning owners are never wrong. In addition, they are not very good at taking different opinions

I hear what you're saying though.

I'll give you 50 bucks apiece for them... $55.00 if you throw in some new tires.

Your were just wrong, just plain ignorate in your description of these wheels and assume we are too stupid to realize you did not know what your were talking about after several attempts by members here trying to give you a clue.



...and again you flex your ignorance. Attention everyone, HRE wheels are now "cheesy, cheap, discount-tire wheels." Lumadar has cleared this up for us. If $1,000 each is cheap, you have way more money than sense; suspect you have neither.

The HRE's weigh a fraction of the "ton" the 22" flywheels you are using to decrease your handling, braking, ride, acceleration.


The chip on your shoulder is you are just another Lightning wannabe who is trolling the L board with joy stick in hand, eyes squinted, looking to impress us.

I'll trade you some sweet 22" chrome GhettoBoyz Ho Crushas! They're chrome and they don't have any of those fake allen head beadlock faux socket thingy things to get in the way of cleaning them with a Kleenex and some Windex. I'm sadly lacking the super-duper hottest racing brake pads for street use so I don't need to worry about brake dust ruining them. Obviously your crappy discount-tire cheesy POS wheels would be much better off on my truck!

You guys know I can't stay away from a wheel post.

I am not entering the fray, but for whoever was interested in the HRE's, here is an alternative from Boze Forged.....still a great quality 3-piece for alot less scratch.



I love my Boze forged.......I do hate my dumb bead lock wanna-be bolt stupid useless things though they do tear up my terry cloth towels if I'm not careful, but I'll be dammed if they actually hold my wheels together. My PIMP APPROVED, and very lightweight makes Bronx homies jealous wheels.

I love you guys ..... minus the obvious fool or two.
