Britt, Peter (WheelExperts) carries these... Hey, be smart with a daily driver and how **** you are about your car being clean, you need to be sure you get something that looks good and more importantly is easy to clean. Just a wipe down after a drive should do it... That's how mine are now.

Todd Mitch and I will hammer out the final pricing on the Sportec stuff this week - please sit tight for that.

Lou - the place you guys probably went is either ARS or one of the finishing shops. HRE iforged GFG Kinesis etc do use the same painter, and they did share SOME parts (as all US 3pc wheel makers do) but the technology and styling used to machine the centers and assembly is where the difference is made. HRE's profile is a bit more complex, with all edges rounded and such, hence the attention to detail.

I like name brand bling based on racing heritage and the OZs have it in spades.

You can't go wrong with any of the choices above, but from what I've seen in person it'd be a toss-up between the following:

OZ IIIs
BBS LMs/RS-GTs
Fikse FM-10s
Kinesis K28s

I prefer the double-step lip over the reverse lip.

I have the Kinesis F110 and they are great . with 19s and pss-9 everyone is looking and wishing. They are not hard to clean or wax (which considerably reduces brake dust buildup). The lip is very shiny and the painted spokes are very close in colour to the stock turbo twists.

good luck

Geoff

Offset please...this thread is lacking that important info...I would greatly appreciate it.

I need info on HRE 543R. 8X18 and 11X18 with 2 and 3 inch lips. Front offset 43mm and rear offset 35mm to 45mm.....please advise.

I don't want to make a mistake and wind up with a pair of Dayton's.

To my knowledge HRE's are completely customizable for offsets during order... however Peter @ WheelExperts.com would be the man to ask.

I might speculate that the lightest wheels listed would be the Kinesis or the Fikse. HRE tends to be a bit heavier unless you get the new unreleased Competition series.
