I had HRE wheels on my C5. VERY good quality, but pricey. Would buy again. IMO

HRE is a great wheel. I personally prefer Fikse. Three piece modular, 18 pounds (very light) and radial cold forged center. They are very durable. At my peak I owned three sets. One for the street car and two for the race car...
