HRE are the top o f the line, IForged are good but I hear customer service and some quality are not good, Radenergier I have heard good things but is more like a classic design. Last nite I was looking with my buddies for more other pictures and they all felt in love with my original choice the Hartge Classic2. I have not yet received any quotes but i think is in the same ballpark @$5k as the radenergier .. 
the only issue I have is the weight..Classic2 weights 39lbs compared to 26.5lbs radenergier.. 
OR

OK guys need your opinion here again... the Rads are not availalbe anywhere for another 2 weeks, so my local shop is offering me some Axis wheels model Penta, the wheels are pretty light in weight fro 20s' compared to the stock wheels (20lbs fron and 30lbs back) for half the price of the Rad, does any one have any experiences with it? any comments about them?
here is an image of the wheels
I found a 545 with similar wheels

Hye man I like those but trust me from experience.. don't try to rush the wheels and get a pair you really don't want.. if you want the rad's wait becuase you will be much ahppier in the end.. I rushed my wheels 2 times now and still no happy if I waited from the begining I would have had the wheels I wanted on mine.. trust me man Wait off the wheels you really want
BTW axis makes good wheels but are known to be more of a knock off brand

I agree with Hamann5. Wheels will make the biggest difference in how your car look and feel. Take your time. I like some of your previous choices. Although I like Axis, I don't think they're as nice as the other wheels.

Yeah, no doubt they look great. As long as you're happy with them. Just make sure you think everything through and be a bit more patient. I know...it's tough..haha But look at bleudyno, he waited 5 months for his wheels.

I agree, impatience is killing me.. wait 2 weeks for the Rads (save 2 lbs if so) , spend double the money or get these Axis Penta available right now...descisions.... look at this picture with the car lowere ..i think it looks ok
Man I honestly think they look great and after viewing this thread im seriously considering these axis penta wheels. I have not seen them in person so I cant make judgement on them. For the axis penta and tires you should be under 2k which is more than half of what your gonna spend on Rads or anything else. For me, theres no way im spending 5grand on some 20s--thats another downpayment to get me an E90 coupe...
Then again I dont want some el cheapo replica style looking wheels comming from some Schnitzer wheels so I wanna see them in person bad.
