Default Out of these rims what do you like best

Which of these rims do you like best? I am considering this in the near future.

1. 540 HRE

2. 546 HRE

3. These are Fiske FM-10


Thanks,
Jon

Personally - I like the cleaner look of the Fikse FM10 better than the other two. I'm not particularly fond of the allen head screws around the rim - too busy!

I like the Fiske FM/10. I'd look carefully at which one weighs less though.

In all honesty I personally do not like any of them BUT if I HAD to choose one of those it would be the 546's.

I WILL not jump into a purchase of this much dollar fast. I will take alittle time. I personally like the HRE 540 and Fiske's.
I have a decent deal on the FM10 for 2600 for a brand new set
I can get the 546 & 540 for around 2500

How about you write a letter to Miscrosoft, and you get all 3.

Man, I should..good idea...But I already spent all the money they gave me this year modding the car. I think I need to stop at some point. I think I will go one or two more years before I retire the car.

The best looking rims I have seen to date on a C5 were exactly like the 546 but in a show chrome finish.
