Have u considered their monoblock?

From my experience with several sets of multi-pcs wheels, I can tell u they are high maintenance. They tend to leak air & u have to re-seal the outer/inner barrels after a while.

So crap! I did a search and yes... there's a chance of leaks If u happen to break a seal whether that's tire install error or just the two pieces coming apart and leaking thru the seam. Sounds like a big headache not saying that the HRE's or BC Forge has those issues I just don't want to deal with that.

Bingo, no matter the brands or the price tag.. It's the nature of multi-pcs wheels.
I had OZ racing, I-Forged, SV1 forged .. All had the same problems.

The silicone between the inner & outer barrels will wear out with time, so re-sealing them is inevitable.

It's a pain as I got stranded on the road cuz once they start leaking there, they piss very quickly.

The only good thing about multi-pcs wheels is if u damage 1 pc, u can replace that 1 pc which might be cheaper than to buy a new wheel. Also 3pcs deep dish wheels looks amazing & shows the staggered set-up more.

I call them "show" wheels, as DD u are safer with 1 pc cast wheel (like most oem) or monoblock forged.
