Default Wheels Choices

I'm about ready to loose my mind!
There are so many great looking wheels to choose from. Sizes, finish,
fitmant, etc, are all of my concerns. One thing causing a problem are my 14" Baer rotors.
I have pretty much decided to bite the bullet an go for the HRE's. Because they actually spent alot of time with us to insure we got what we wanted. I would expect this considering what they cost.
The questions that still remain are the size and the finish?
If you guys (that includes ladies) have any input to either of these issues please share it with me. I'm not looking for you to decide what I get. But some Pro's & Con's on this will be a great help!

Thanks

I am not sure if you are saying that you have decided on HRE because they can make fitments for the 14 inch baer rotors..
I have 14 inch Baer rotors on my 19 inch CCW 505's. They are half the price of HRE. John makes them specifically for the Baer rotors if you tell him that is what you want.. I am sure that Iforged does the same..
