Cool Jline Wheels

I came across other 3 piece wheels by Jline. I did a search with no results. Is this company new? Has anyone heard anything about them?

JLine and DTM Kreuz are basically the same wheel. They look good and are affordable but I don't know about the quality. Do your homework!

Affordable, i dunno about all that but they ar 3 piece rims and they are build like the DPE, hre, and iforged. althoug I hear iforged rims are not up to par with HRE and DPR rims. You can go to importhookup.com and they have them for sell too. NOT CHEAP AT ALL!

I-forged and HRE's have the same problems because they come from the same wheel manufacturing plant. There are articles all over the web about both wheels and the poor construction. They also aren't that badly priced when compared with higher end wheels like Volk's, Advan's, and others. I have heard of them before I believe. I just can't remember from where or what I heard (believe it was good though).

The prices arent that much far off at $1K a wheel. As for Iforged coming from the same plant.. im not too sure about that.. here is a guy who explains this, but not sure how credible he is. You guys can make that call.

Negative. HRE makes their own wheel in Vista, CA. Its in SD. Ive been there and seen it. They start off with a whole block and cut out of it. DPE and Iforged use the same shit which I believe is made by introforged or something like that. I have worked on/with HRE, Iforged, and DPE, they are sure as hell are not the same rims. The Iforged and DPE rims are crap in comparison and a bitch to mount a tire onto. The owners of Iforged are tawainese, and they copy almost all of HRE's designs. With the tire dismounted, you can see the barrel and it's crap. I wouldnt buy Iforged unless they were cheap as hell. @1K+ a rim retail, thats HRE 4-5 series territory. Not to mention that some of Iforged wheels are not even a true multi-piece wheel. This one particular wheel I saw (I forget the model), the rivets/bolts lead to nowhere and the face and barrel was welded together. Another guy I know with Iforged wheels, washed his CLK500 and his rims peeled/cracked. Now thats quality.

He may be right. I thought I read on a couple sites that they came from the same plant (including here). However, if I am incorrect and I very well may be it's still a fact that both HRE and iForged have some problems with their wheels.

At $700 a wheel that is expensive don't get me wrong but that's still in the neighborhood of some very popular JDM wheel manufacturers. They are still at least $1200 cheaper than iForged,HRE,DPE, and Kinesis.

They don't just make 3-Piece wheels. They also make 2-Piece. They are not high priced like HRE and Iforged and they are competitively priced for a custom multipiece wheel.
