I'm a fan of the 448s. The 360s are nice too but they're so similar to the AMGs. The HREs are distinctive.

449 and 360 look like knock-off MB wheels, so that leaves the 448.

my pic would be the 448R

449R looks like a pain to keep clean -- not that the 448R is easy to keep clean either.

Are you on any other forum. Why waste the $100 or so on gas and add the klicks to go to calgary.

360

360's all the way. similar to AMG and hence OEM looking. Keep it clean.

if you wanted the 360 with that look, and are looking into HRE 440s, why not

As much as I love HRE, it just seems as though everyone and their momma's has one these days. The 360's sure do look killer.

Hell I am going to buy some CF 360's for the 911TT.

I like the 360 rims also...but I might be partial since they look like my DPE rims.
