I am thinking of getting these, what do you all think of them?

 

Thumbs up!

 

Awesome!

 

Those are nice!! Arent those what was originally in Shocktherapy's truck?

 

No. Shock Therepy had Panther Breeze wheels. Although the American eagle wheels 025 looks exactly like the whhel in the above photo.....for less than a thousand for all four 20 inch's. Only thing is that they come in 8.5 inch width with the 20 inch.

 

Shock did have HRE's at one point too...

 

they look ok, not worth the cost IMO

 

I might be able to get HRE's at dealer cost or close to it, so this is why I am looking into getting them. ShockTHerepy had HRE 646R which is a thinner six star face.

 

i like those a lot. what size are they? chrome or polished?

 

If it wasn't all "busied up" by those faux beadlock things it would be nice. But not only does it look cheesey IMO, I can tell you that FOR SURE the wheels will be so much work to clean you will give up trying within a year's time, and the wheels will go to hell.

those little sockets retain brake dust, dirt, grime, and the liking and bleed out onto the wheels...making them virtually impossible to clean.

I will never in my life own a set of wheels with beadlock patterns, ever.

I worked at a dealer and saw trade-ins a year old time after time with otherwise fine wheels- ruined due to the beadlock.

But hey, whatever floats your boat

 

They are not a "beadlock" and they are not faux.

If the HREs are "busy," your wheels are frantic.

I have (faux) 3-pc wheel screws on mine and they are zero cleaning trouble.

 

I have no problems cleaning my HRE 645's...love'm too, and the bolts for the three pieces assembly I assure you are real and do not make cleaning significantly more difficult.

I would maybe go with annodized black myself on my black truck if I were to do it again, but none the less, they look damn good.

 

lmao, looks like I stepped on someone's little wee wee. Get more defensive, will ya?

And go ahead and live in denial, but if you get up and close I guarantee you have break dust, and grime inside those "really cool" allen wrench sockets ALL over the wheel. And you say it isn't harder to clean? Really? So you can just spray 2-3 sprays of window or wheel cleaner on your wheels and use one terry cloth towel and clean all 4 of them? ...oh that's right, if you tried to just wipe those sockets down your towel would be torn to bits and pieces.

Maybe you are ok with a "good enough" detail, but I myself like my vehicle to be nothing less than perfect when I detail it for shows...something that will take you an extra hour to achieve at the level I do on my wheels in less than 1/3rd the time.

And we all know how important it is to be able to say you can use an allen wrench on your wheels...

And while you're at it, re-read what I said. I said EXCEPT for the faux beadlock looking allen wrench sockets x25 the wheel looked good. I agree, if they weren't there it would be an awesome, simple wheel. In fact, if anyone made THAT wheel without the gaudy worthless allen wrench sockets all over the damn thing I would have them on my truck.

 

Ironic that this comes at the beginning of your half-page-long attemped defense of your stupid post.

Get a clue. HREs are 3-piece wheels. Those "faux beadlocks" AKA "gaudy worthless allen wrench sockets" hold the wheel halves together.

Now put the keyboard down and go polish your dubs.

 

Just the wheels I would choose if I had money to **** away. They are perfect aside from the cost. In fact, they look a lot like the Eagles I went with.
