DPE and HRE are really similar wheels in terms of looks and quality but the price point of DPE's make them the clear winner. Outstanding customer service and vendor (Acute Performance) = you can't go wrong. I purchased my DPEs at an amazing deal, probably at the price for only 2 wheels of similar HRE wheels.

HRE are for the '$$$fabulous$$$' and DPE are for the '$fabulous$' if that makes any sense.
