What is your favorite wheel?
I was speaking to a member yesterday while on my wheel search and he listed a bunch of his favorite wheels and got me thinking. im sure almost everybody on here has shopped for wheels at one time or another; so what is your favorite wheel?

/thread. These will be on my M if I get it.
...and the Lexion 203
I donno about the Netz...they're okay, but only look good from the side. Then again, i'm not really a fan of mesh wheels

Favorite? They would definitely be high end, ONLY. VIP, Auto Couture, DPE, iForged, Dymag, Volk, Work, and several others that I wouldn't regret choosing at all which don't come to mind right now...wheels are like shoes...it's hard to choose just one brand.

Volk CE28N
Enkei RPF-1. Light, strong, inexpensive, what's not to like? OK, so it may not be the prom queen of the bunch but its cool enough looking.

it depends on what car... asking me what's my favorite wheel would be like asking a girl what's her favorite pair of shoes... it depends on the "outfit"... but in general, I like 5 spoke modular and mesh type wheels.

work has some great designs but the wheels are heavy so i'd never buy a set. the varianzas look killer though. iforged monacos (kinesis has the same design, don't know who stole the design from who) are a really great looking wheel that u usually don't see much.
dpe's look good and are high quality and from what i know, good customer service. i'm pretty sure the wheels are less susceptible to breaking or bending than other brands cus they don't do extreme lips and the wheels aren't ultra light either.
the standard polish finish on hre's look better than any other wheel because they come with a clearcoat. instead of just polished aluminum they have a nice satin sheen to the finish which is a lot more noticeable in person. of course, they are more expensive than most so u could just get a set of dpe's or iforged clearcoated.
if it was my money, i'd probably get a set of volks if i was looking to buy in the near future. either the gt series or monoblocks, or iforged monoblocks which cost less and are lighter than their 2 or 3 piece wheels.
btw...how wheels look good on a car is all in the application imo (drop/color of car/finish on rims).

It depends on the car. I like HRE one piece wheels on higher end cars that don't require a huge stagger. HRE(or similar, DPE, Kinesis, iForged) 3 piece on cars that look best with a big staggered set up. On cheaper cars, I like Volk's, in particular the CE28.
