I like all of HRE's wheels. Just that they are so darn expensive. I couldn't justify putting 2500 wheels on a car worth barely half of that (talking about my car). Good choice none the less.

At first I was like, hmm those look pretty nice. When I saw the price I was like, well does it come with a car? Nice but way toooo much $$$.

As much as I like those wheels, I don't think I could ever bring myself to spend that kind of money on them, knowing what sort of engine mods I could have instead. Plus, spending that kind of money on wheels for a car that gets driven daily or even occasionally is just nuts. I could be 95% as happy with ROH wheels and not have to stress over curb rashing them.

Curb rashing? Do always park on the sidewalk or something. Even when I park next to a curb, I'm a good 8-12 inches away from it.
