Can anyone speak to the quality of Vossen wheels? Looking at non-HRE options
Preferably a non-sponsor. I'm looking for any feedback on whether people felt the wheels met their expectations for aesthetics and "performance" (ie, did they seem to be well made with no innate weaknesses that can be attributed to their production process - as opposed to a rare malfunction/flaw).
Just still debating on what HREs I like and part of me thinks its either better to stay stock or go with a less expensive option then get something I don't totally love. Thanks!

Never owned Vossens and probably never will because I don't prefer wheels so many people have.
But my local wheel dealer says Vossens are one of the best constructed wheels out there.
Also, they offer a 5 year warranty. Who else does that.

I've actually owned two sets of Vossen wheels and I haven't had any issues at all. HRE offers lifetime oppose to Vossen offering 5 year. HRE's seem to hold their value better if you decided to sell.

i have owned both hre's and vossens. i currently have have 2 sets of vossens right now one on my bmw 650 and the other on my audi r8 zero problems on both. that being said hre's are in another league. hre offer custom offsets and the lifetime warranty and are forged so they will be stronger and lighter. the reason i chose to put vossen wheels on those 2 cars is because i wasnt racing either of them and i just wanted a better look without paying twice as much. i have a few other cars that i do race in which i did put forged wheels on though. if your on a budget and dont care about the weight of a cast wheels go for vossen you won't regret it.

Obviously HRE > Vossen I sell both but if saving the money counts the Vossens aren't BAD wheels at all. Hit me up if you want prices!
