I'm experiencing the same thing as well. I purchased a new set of OE Magnesuim wheels still in th box and I'm considering a new set of 18/19 or even 19/20 HRE's. I'm driving myself and my wife crazy I'm sure.
What to do?

I'll be honest, I really don't have a good idea how they would compare since I've been "out of the market" so to speak since I bought mine. Really haven't checked any prices. I'm guessing they would be similar. These weren't cheap by any means. I was looking at these or Fikse's when I bought mine and they were very similar in price.

AS I look thru this thread, I noticed that all the wheels look almost the same. I am so glad I went retro..........
sorry I just couldn't resist.
