Agree with E, but I like the polished center instead of powdercoated.
IMO, the Forgelines border on looking to "busy", but still look good and those would be my second choice in this list.
KepRght...there is a set of Copperhead wheels on eBay right now.
eBay Motors: Dodge viper srt 10 COPPERHEAD rims wheels 19 18 tires (item 160095380080 end time Mar-22-07 16:32:23 PDT)
I'm thinking of taking off my BBS LM's and going to a set of 6R's or 7R's.
So if anybody is interested in a mint (and I mean "mint") set of LM's with basically new tires...

I would not vote for the multi-spoke, not because I don't like them, but they are a PITA to clean. I've owned chrome HRE 540's and while the chrome made cleaning a little easier, it was still a pain wiping out all the inside surfaces of the spokes.
I currently have 19" VR1's on my GTS, love them, but wish they were chromed so it was easier to wipe off brake dust. Being single piece wheels, I do like that once you wash them, you don't have water hiding in the rivets to spit on your nicely cleaned wheels if you don't wait for them to dry completely.
The 5-spokes look very nice, but think they are bit plain and becoming too common.
I guess I am saying I do like the "look" of all of them, but for day-to-day cleaning/function, I would go with the 5-spoke or VR1 style in either chrome or polished/coated center and chrome lip.
Just my .02

My car actually is the blue/white coupe with the Venom5Rs above those wheels. They were 19/20. |

Someone messaged me from another site selling a set of used "HRE 547R" 19/20.. for 3900$ shipped. cheap for hre in my mind
its not the strait 547 with the double bump lip which i think is more $$
what do 547R cost new? same as iForged?
The HRE Price list is useless... it doesnt list 54XR pricing... i would call someone but its 6pm
