Time for some wheels

Ive really had my eye HRE's but have been hearing alot of bad reviews about them.. Kenisis seems to be the crowd favorite as far as what i picked up on the forums.
What will be ther better deal.. I jsut need some wheels that will hold up around town, bumps, dips,but something that can hold at high speeds. I dont really have any plans on tracking the car.

I really liked the web design rim that HRE offers. Does kenisis only come with that one 10 spoke design, how much is the price difference between the two and also how much lighter or heavier are they then the stock rims; I have the 19 inch sport carrera sport wheels.

Given the offset, without sticking out past your fenders 4 or maybe 4.5 is likely the widest you'll get.

I think Kinesis, HRE, modulare and iforged are all popular. Check out iforged, they seem to be a crowd fav too. Are you by any chance going to be selling those 19" sports?

I don't want anyone getting my wheels either...

There are a ton of sexy wheels out there - I'm sure you'll find some you like.
