Which of these Wheels look best?

There are a lot of wheel threads out there, but I didn't see any really showing pictures and comparing several different types of wheels. Thought this would help those like me lookin' into wheels for the near future

From what I understand the CE28Ns are obscenely light (something like 18-19 lbs) for the 19". (Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong).

The Volk 1-pieces also accept the OEM TPMS sensors which to some people is an afterthought, but it's a big deal to me seeing as one of my sensors alerted me to a nail on my tire before getting out of my neighborhood once.

I think the CE28N is sweet because it has a fairly big lip for a 1-piece.

But IMHO, judging looks on a wheel isn't far from just judging looks on a woman. If I had to pick a wheel from your selection for just looks, I'd go with the Works. But if I had to pick a wheel to live with, I'd say give me the Volk CE28Ns.

I know I'm not reading this right, right? Riding DPE's dick? Are you kidding me? What's that supposed to mean? I just wondered if he considered them.

I totally argee with u man. Everyone seems to be on dpe's tips and i dont know y. but from those choses i would for sure go with the HRE's no questioned asked. Thats like saying should i get a g35 or a enzo. All those rims are not even in the same league as hre's.

Probably because the wheels look good for the money. Why not buy them? Who are these people who have them? I've only seen a couple posts of pics. More people have Super Rozzas right now.

IF anything everyone's on VOLKS dick...sorry to say...i dont have volks but I have RAYS wheels which are basically the same. But I have only seen maybe a dozen ppl w/ DPE's whereas 75% of everyone else here has VOLKS...even Iforged is more common than DPEs......

DPE's IMO are nice and of the choices above id also go w/ the HRE's...no competition and totally different league of wheels IMO...

if money was no option - HRE's (duuh)

for go - volk CE's

for show - Piaa

For Me - Something Black with a big ol polished Lip!




PS: DPE = the hottest wheels right now. Why? Volks are somewhat played out, HRE's cost an arm n a leg, iForged service blows (apparnetly) and all the others are "cheap"....plus, i think the fact that a lot of the Beemer guys throw DPE's on M3's and that adds to the appeal. I think there hottttt! but cant spend the cheese right now...

Thats why im stock!

hahaha, i stirred up some ****, j/k. I know Dpe's are nice, I too considered them, but they will soon be everywhere..... I chose Ce28's, I have them on my 99Si right now, and I can vouch for how light they are.
