How can I spot legit HRE's

iamjames817 · 11-05-2009, 03:09 AM

Hey guys I'm thinking about picking up some wheels this weekend. One set are the VMR 715s and the other set are the HRE c20's. Obviously I want the HREs more but the price on the wheels are expensive. If I go out and buy the HREs I want to me sure they are legit. I've never seen any in person so I don't know what to look for on the wheels for their authenticity ie serial number Or something of the sort? Can anyone give me some pointers?? Thanks

I've never seen replicas of HRE C20s... just look at the stamped markings on the backs of the faces.
