If BBS and HRE is stretching your china BC Forge budget then just get Rays.

People who refer HRE to the same level of BBS/Rays needs to learn about what actually goes into making a wheel and the company behind it..lol
I agree with pretty much everything above but I do have more respect for HRE. The only things I would add is that there are some things that make HRE more appealing than BBS/Rays. HRE makes custom wheels. Custom meaning that the customer can specify the diameter, width, offset, and finish/color. BBS/Rays don't offer the same level of customization. As far as custom wheels go, HRE is arguably the best (or at the very least one of the best). As far as racing pedigree, HRE has some but not nearly as much as BBS/rays. As far as forging process, BBS/Rays are the best.
