SEE TWO OHHHHHH but I am partial.......what is the weight of the Radenergies?

The C20's will weigh 20 lbs for 19x8.5 and 19x10. Thats what mine weighed in but I have the C21's.

Actually both the C20's and the Radenergies are forged and yes it definitely makes them stronger and lighter too!.

I agree to an extent that HRE's are hands down one of the best quality wheels out there, but as someone mentioned, the pics for the radenenergie is not doing it justice. I've gotten used to the rolled lip look on the HRE's and a lot of other forged wheels out there today, but something new would be a nice change. I can't tell from the pic but it looks like the radens might have the same rolled lip though. Could even be the exact same barrels if their suppliers are from the same source.

But I must stick my neck out and say that the raden's thicker spoke look could be a nicer design with the body lines' of our 211. Something different and not the same tuner/forks look.

And yes, the weight and price would be a big factor as well. Any idea on the specs and price? Since they are both forged wheels I can't imagine the weight being off by much.

I dont have exact specs but normal HRE forged wheels weigh in the mid 20 lb range while the comps are right at 20 lbs even. 5 lbs per corner is a decent amount of unsprung weight. I can imagine the Radenergies coming in around the 25-26lb mark.

In my opinion, both would look awesome on your car. However, the R-10's get my vote...I have some on the way for my SL55. I can't wait!

Of the 2 the HRE's would get my vote simply because the RADENERGIES are too pricey (IMO). If you wanted to do something a little different I would recommend the MODULARE M4
