which would you go for?

1. Prodrive GC-010


2. HRE 441R


3. Advan Connoissuer


4. Mazdaspeed (non-Mag forged)


I'm torn between a lot of different wheels. these are ones that I keep looking at & want to hear what others think.

I Know the Prodrives seem outta character but I'm originally a Subaru guy & have loved those since I saw them. Oh & I think they were on the Prodrive 550 Maranello.

I think the MS rims would be eyecatching if you had 'em w/ Red (assuming that's what the poll is for) Although, the Prodrives would look sweet as well.
IMO, if you're going to go with 18" rims w/o dropping the car, they cannot have a huge lip. Otherwise, the rims seem smaller and the gap between the wheels and wheel well seems highlighted. That's what I like about the factory rims. The spokes are pushed right to the edge.

You didn't have a "none of the below" choice!! They're close, but I haven't seen "my" wheels yet. I want something that has stout, but no fat , spokes, six or seven, with the spokes coming flush to the rim. Mid-nineties Formula One front wheels look, either in graphite or the dark olive green coated magnesium look like Diemag.
Sorry, still a racer at heart.

The Advan's are my fav's...if you are going to track it..i stick with what everyone else is saying..the lightest...

Prodrive is to Subie....but the lip on the HRE's is nice...

The Advans are too close to the OEMs if you ask me, I love rpodrive wheels so they get my vote. And as far as them being for a Subie that's not really true, you could also say they are for Ferrari's as well since Prodrive also does the Le Mans Ferraris. I believe the Prodrive wheels are made by O.Z. by the way.
