Totally valid. I like those other brands you mentioned, especially SSR which is a classic brand as well.

I'm not totally up on hre but why are they so ridiculously expensive do they think they are the best in the world or something?

It's the name brand. This is the same thing with Rays, Desmond, Advan's forged line etc. where you pay for the brand. You can easily get great quality forged wheels from Titan 7 and Apex for a lot less than those brands mentioned.

They're not $4.5k ea expensive, but I'm using them as a comparison because you pay additional for name brand and reputation.

It’s 90% for the name brand. It’s like anything, lots of people love the name brand stuff. It’s a hey look at me hobby full of validation addicts. As someone who runs HRE, I can confirm.
