Thanks for all the replies. You all aren't making this any easier, I would say I'm exactly 50-50 as to which wheel. Oh well... Please keep the comments coming.

not trying to mess with you, but i'd like to throw another bone in the mix...did you consider the QD7 by Neez? Looks like the P40, but deeper!

The Neez are nice too, another wheel I looked at as part of never ending 50 page thread over on RENNTEAM just on wheels. The problem I had is that I just couldnt see past how much they looked like the BMW wheels. Guess that's why they look so good on Bimmer's.

These are slightly different than the RS171's because they are the Magnesium version, the center dive isnt as deep as the RS171's but here's a few
pics that helped me decide:

Not to confuse things further but I prefer the Champion RF67 over the HRE's and the Champion RS171. IMO RF67>RS171 magnesium>RS171>HRE.

between RS171 and P40, i'd go with RS171 based on looks. i like the P43 better than P40. between RS171 vs. P43, it's a toss up for me. whichever is lighter i would choose. all great wheels.

For the guy who asked earlier, the RS171 doesn't come in a 20". I have some 20" P43s in stock we'd make a great deal on if anyone wanted them. We also have C20s in matte black 19" as well.
