If you must pick one --I am with Sharky on the P43 in brushed .

Although I also like the C21 but you do not mention any three piece wheels.

Of yoir choices listed --
The Champion wheel although my favorite is the MS61 (Magnesium)

All 10 spoke wheels look the best. The question is whether you want a lip or no lip.

pretty big range of prices on your list there! I think a 1pc forged may be a better choice with bad roads vs 3pc. Dymags are cool, but you can buy 2 sets of any of the others at that price.

I completely agree that BBS, Rays, and Champion make great products. We're much smaller than these guys but we're proud to compete against companies like this that share our philosophy. That being said, it pains me to hear that you think HREs are garbage.

I think those that already know us well, know who we are and why we do what we do so it pains me to see that we still have so many people out there that lump us in with the rest. It shows that all of the years of effort we have put into our company to keep us above the rest doesn't resonate when we don't put the same effort to market ourselves properly.

Every time we make a fantastic product like the P40 or the new 18" Monoblok race wheel for Fall-Line Motorsports it is undercut when someone sees a deep-lip 3pc wheel and assumes we're just like all the rest. It is a battle I have been waging for years. We make different products for different tastes, but at the end of the day sound engineering, performance, quality, service and integrity are ingrained in everything we do. Not that we haven't stumbled at times but we pick ourselves up and get better and better every day. You can't recognize the HRE of today from even a couple years ago. The improvement is continuous and unrelenting. We simply believe we have to be the best to survive. Not the biggest. Not the flashiest. Simply the best. It is what drives all of us at HRE and the pride is apparent as soon as you step into the building. The people are what make HRE what it is and I have never been more proud to be a part of the team than I am today.

Pistol, if you're ever near N. San Diego, please stop by and ask for me. I would love to show you around and introduce you to the team at HRE. I think you'll get a much better sense of our philosophy, our methodology, and our integrity. I'll show you the details that make us HRE. I don't know many (none actually) that have met us like this and come away thinking we're garbage. We're simply not like the rest, but sometimes you can't believe it until you see it. Visit the rest... then visit us. I think you'll see the difference.

I ordered my HRE P40's (19" powdered silver) before my car was delivered from the factory. It was the first mod I did to the car and to date it is still the best one!!

I did a LOT of research before I decided on which wheels to go with. The P40 monoblocks are almost exactly the same size as the factory wheels (important!), weight is less which mean better handling, can take the TPMS sensors, and are easily the best looking wheels on the market. I get compliments everywhere I go on my car and #1 is always the wheels.

So I couldn't be happier - thanks Alan!!!
