While surfing I am gravitated towards HRE wheels which seem to be in about the same price range as Volks (they have them on Lamborghinis!!!). Does anyone have any experience with or opinions of this manufacturer?

HRE's are gonna run you more then a set of volks. If you got the coin go for it.

Thanks for the responses...they certainly are great looking wheels. There are a dozen styles that I like, which is unusual since I have had only luke-warm aesthetic impressions from any other manufacturer so far (including Volks).

Now I have gathered that they beautiful and expensive, but what about performance? I don't track my car, but if I were to pay more for a better looking tire, I would be devestated if it degraded the "feel" I get with the stock NISMO Rays.

It seems that HRE are highly regarded, but I just want to make sure it is not hype.

The 303M's are looking good to me right now:

Classic Series - 303M | HRE Performance Wheels

From what I gather they go for about $1500 a piece without any custom finish. Does that sound right? Are there any dealers you can recommend that will give me a good price and treat me right?
