Wheels look good, but are not much different looking from forgestar's f14 wheel.

They are both mesh styles, but if you look at the details, they are completely different. I would think f14 is more like the P40 than the P40S/P40SC.

Also, ours is actually forged.

You can not say Forgestar and HRE in the same sentence. Not even comparable down the the fact that Forgestars are not even hubcentric.

Still hoping for offset information on this setup......and the tire sizes (F & R).

That stance and fitment is rediculous!!!

You will not get that from HRE, DPE or any other good custom wheel company.

Lon indicated in a message above that he'd check on these offsets...

What's the big secret anyway? It's a lot more helpful to know the specs of the wheels in that photo so that you can order the correct size and offset to get the look "just right".

Besides, I'm pretty sure that once the wheels are mounted, the customer owns them for good.... an expensive mistake if you order the wrong version.

Not sure its just something they never seem to give out. If Lon does, I would be suprised.

I can only release the information to the owner. If you would like this same configuration, there's no problem giving you the information with your order.

Actually all our current wheels have spec information engraved on the wheels themselves.

We are willing to give out specs for certain applications, but when it's a custom spec'd configuration by the customer, that's their own right to publish it or not.

Thanks Lon, I can appreciate that....

So is the photo I originally quoted a "custom configuration" of a standard config?

Are you able to share the tire size info for that setup? I'm always curious about rear tire fitment (especially when it looks like someone squeezed some extra width back there) but would appreciate the F & R tire info if you're willing to share it.

Thanks!

Often time's customers ask for specifications that we don't recommend, as long as they are willing to handle aggressive configurations, it's not a problem.

Thanks!

Mark's configuration definitely is custom. It's more aggressive than our normal recommendations. But if you specify that you want this same configuration, we will take care of you. It's our standard to allow our customers to select their wheel width/offsets.

I'm sure Mark can assist you with his tire size.
