New Rims

I would like to upgrade my stock rims but with so many choices it is difficult to know where to begin.

It would be helpful if someone could list three manufactures they believe produce a quality product.

Thanks in advance.

Finspeed produces a quality product. American made raw material, American made CNC equipment, and they are made in the heart of America by a guy who has actual engineering in the wheels.

Concur on Finspeed. I own two sets of their wheels in addition to my OEM wheels for track work and they are a great looking and extremely well made wheel. Check out their website and see for yourself.

HRE top shelf, CCW middle quality and OE Wheels lower end. I ended up with CCWs and happy with my 505a

No offense, but this is very misleading. People tend to assume the quality is different when the price is different, when in this situation that is not the case. HRE, CCW and Finspeed all buy the best forgings available in world, from the same company, and all three are comparable and of very high quality. HRE and Finspeed have significantly higher detail in there machining and tend to have a better looking wheel than CCW, but the quality of CCW is still excellent. Finspeed and CCW are appropriate for track use and HRE may be as well, I just have no personal experience with them to speak from. All are managed by good and fair people.
Finspeed and CCW are in the $3000-3500 range, while HRE's in comparable sizes can be well over $6K.
