Default Wheel Poll: which would you choose?

Hi guys! I'm buying new 20'' wheels for my black 2008 S5. Which ones do you think would fit the best?

While the BBS CHR are a common choice (and something I do like).. I think l like the HRE's better. Maybe it is partly because of how common those BBS rims are??

Is there a big difference between original and replicas? Which are good stores in Europe to buy wheels at?

Is the VMR V710 a rep of the HRE ff01?

I LOVE the look of the HRE ff01. In the audi community if you care what others think, I believe everyone holds HRE at the top of the list above the other brands. BBS is too common IMO, and Avante garde isn't as well known, at least in my area.

But for me, I'd most likely get the VMR's or the Avante Garde as both are around the $1k-$1200 mark. I'd be running these in the summer in Michigan so I wouldn't see the value out of the HRE's. Maybe if I owned a decked out RS5 or lived in california I'd spring for the HRE's but for my daily driving the rep will suffice.

I really do not see much difference. All look good to me.

What is the weight and cost of each wheel?

VMR - has a very small lip vs some of the others. Looks best to me if it is forged.

Ok, I decided to take

Avantgarde m590 or
BBS CH-R or
Forgestar F14.

Will take the cheapest option because I like all of them equally.

Where do you suggest me to buy them? I live in Slovenia (Europe).
