    First, thanks for posting the pic.

    While I do like the general look of HRE rims and this particular style, I don't know if it's the angle or what but at first glance this isn't the "look" i want. To me for some reason it looks too modern. It's probably just the angle because I do like the 3piece mesh look.

    First let me start by saying I love this look of the yellow one but not so much the black one (previous post). I prefer the stepped lip but funny enough I don't like the HRE centers as much as the Champion/Modular on the yellow one. I think it is that I have been used to seeing the Champion/Modular wheels and also they look more OEM than the highly polished fancy look of the HRE (which can come painted).

    I do like the look of "Work VS XX" in 19" but then, do I get silver or gold centers. Do I get the stepped lip or the reverse lip?

    I understand the controversy of this car (pictured below) and lets get past that... Here is a red 348 with Work VS XX 19". I have no plan to bring the car any lower than the lowest the factory setting can go nor do I plan to modify the body (flare the fenders) etc. like the car pictured. Just a good side shot to review.

    Here is a pic of another red 348 (must have been popular) with BBS LMs. Funny enough, I don't really like them. I assume the shot is with 18". I don't like that the center for the front extrudes out.

    Note again, I have a black F355.

    Ronal Teddy Bear rims are period correct. Do what makes you happy. :)

    The PG3s are nice but way outside my price range. That is the major issue, the minor issue is the weight is bit more than some forged 3piece and the rear offset doesn't give a lot of lip which I could live with.

    rebarrel... at that point I can get worx that are new, lighter and have have the best deep look.

    Honestly looking at the HRE pics I may just stay with the factory rims for this season and revisit later.

    Rebarrelling doesn't cost too much. Can probably redo the set yourself for 1k if you know how to use a torque wrench. :)

    I have a 19” black middle part BBS Le mans set with 5x108 over here left and think they have been made with correct ET for a 355/348.
    19” are pretty rare i guess? Anybody still wants a massive look on his 348 / 355?

    Relatively rare but you can still buy them new in that spec. I personally like the look.

    I have a set of PG3 Hamanns like KennyDs car available if anyone is looking. Hard to find in the right bolt pattern and offset. I sold my 355 and not sure how long away I will get another so I would sell to make space if someone is interested.
