Default Wheel Choice 360 Forged SpecMulti OR HRE M40

I narrowed it down to these wheels both in a brush finish. 360 Forged is a 3 piece wheel as HRE MONOBLOCK is one piece. The price is about the same mounted and balanced with either PS2 ,Nitto, or GY F1 Asymetrics. Let me know what everyone thinks.

If you like both, go with the ones that weigh less

Default hmm... both are nice, but keep in mind that the HRE is a 1 piece vs. 360Forged which is 3 piece.

Generally speakeing, the 3 piece with lip like that will appear about 1" smaller in size than the same size 1 piece.

So to get to visual impact of a 19" 1 piece wheel with the 360forged you will need to go up to a 20".

Default Pictures of the wheels would be nice so we can compare. Also I would go with a one piece wheel...

For weight although if you damage a wheel a 3 piece designs allows you to change just the damaged portion.

Tires go PS2 or GY.

only true with a stepped lip, not reverse drop centers as I believe HRE calls it.

Default I think I reverse lip still has some of that effect from my experience.

You're right though, stepped is much worse.
