If you got serious money then go HRE. Those are for sure the best in everything. Customer support, application, custom EVERYTHING. No one can say anything bad about them

I think breyton, acs, and hamann are overrated and are boring in there wheel department.

BBS LM or RG-R are both quality wheels.

I would avoid i-forge ... bad wheels, terrible customer service, and shaky company.

For performance, the lighter the better. My SSR-GT3s are at least 5 pounds lighter per wheel than stock. With BBSs you can shave off 8 or 9 pounds.
