Default Wheel Selection

Hey guys,

I need your help in selecting a new set of wheels for my car.

I want 20inch rims, black or gun metal. I dont like chrome or shiny silver rims.

I'm looking to spend about 3000 on all four rims.

Any suggestions?

I have a meteor grey on magma S5 if it makes a difference.

Any specific design or style that appeals to you (multi-spoke, 5-star, etc)? Any particular brand names that you are drawn to because you like their designs, their quality, etc?

I think HRE's are overpriced. If you want a custom multi-piece wheels there are plenty out there and will cost less than 5k with tires. As far as wheel design it is basically up to your own personal perference. I can't say one design is better than the other. Call those guys at DNJ up and they'll point you towards the right direct. Plus their prices are awesome.

Yea, HRE is a bit expensive however, custom wheels + very elegent (not one of those showing off kinda of wheels) + great design + one of the best quality out there --> to sum up, you get what you pay for with HRE.

lmao, are you a little kid? "HREs have becomes a status symbol" --> nothing that doesn't look good + great quality can become a "status symbol"

I understand that this, in no way, reflects on the quality of HREs - I was just putting in my 2¢
well, those rappers do have too much money in hand to do whatever they want which includes making Bentleys looks no where better than a civic in my eyes. BTW, what wheels you got on your car? It does look nice on the picture you have as your avatar there.
