Need wheel opinion

spent days agonizing over what wheels to get. Finally narrowed to these two... Just curious what the board has to say...

IForged Precision Series Variants or splurge an extra 2k on HRE 542s??

I'm not big on ALL chrome, so the 1 on the left is better...

ignore the finish. those were just the pictures I could find. They'll probably be either straight black or black chromed.

They are both very similar but If it was a choice bewteen the two I would go with the HRE's. Although they usually are a bit pricier that I-forged but not by much.

Yeah, my girl is calling me crazy because both look the exact same to her, but the devil's in the detail. I just like the 5 spoke wide swooping style. It's basically $3k vs $5k

2k is a lot of dough i you can live with the duller edges and the slightly decreased angle of the iforged with respectd to the HRE then go for it. Just make sure the color is kick ***. Maybe a matte black. Oh and as far as 5 k for hre's the M40 monobloks are the only way to go.

Actually, those are the ones my cousin has so didn't want to get the same exact wheels, otherwise those would probably have been in the running
