jeffjam,
You need to create a poll. You can test the poll creation over on the Test subforum.

Don't get me wrong, the VIP modulars are nice, but for the price, I'd get some HREs

How much do the VR02's go for?

And yeah, that's vt's car. The car behind it I believe is Torquey 5's. I remember seeing that picture before somewhere here on the forum. Too lazy to search and confirm though.

Yeah, that picture was taken at Sonic MS.

I like the Petrol only because it's a bit different. The VR02 shares a common design with other wheels like Agio, Klass, Asanti.

Ok guys, can you all help me to decide which wheel to buy for my 525 e60. I have narrowed it down to these three in 20": (1) TSW Sakata (2) Petrol (3) VIP

You both are absolutely right. Can I change my vote to the Petrol as well?

Yes. The VIP are about $1K each.

Although I said I liked the Petrol because of it's relative uniqueness, I know the VIPs are forged 3 piece wheels and I believe the Petrols are just 2-piece (not forged).

Dood,
Why are you showing the VIP VR02 wheel and not the HRE?
No, your wheels look really good, but if I were in the market, I'd probably go with HREs more for their name and reputation. I'm not saying they're better than VIPs or anything.
