I would go with ADV.1 or HRE. Cant go wrong with either. Alotta people put HRE's so id personally go with something different.
If i had a choice id get the ADV.1 7.1, They are SICK!!!

i would say call Dave at Forgeline and get a quote from him . Forgeline is a great wheel and it will be hard to beat their prices . since you are going with such a CRAZY widebody , i think you need to get a wheel with a huge lip to accent the stretched fenders . just my $.02

I am having the same debate over my M3
First you must decide: Forged vs low pressure cast wheels Of course forged are better, and if you are tracking heavily they are much stronger, IMO.
However my car (namely my 600 hp M3) that will only see a road course once or twice...it will see some hard driving on some S turns when traffic is low in Mexico. These turns push the car to about 85% on good street tires. Car has also seen and will see again 160 mph.
I am looking at the COR F1 Precise, but also the Mod bargain low pressure cast wheels are stunningly beautiful and less than one forth the cost of the CORs' I have been eying.

Looking at total package. Part quality I agree, Modulare belongs up there, but looking at finish, CS, pricing as well. Modulare and Forgiatto and maybe even DPE belong somewhere between mid and top. Gotta draw the line somewhere, but those top three (HRE, Klassen, ADV1) can't argue.

Hearing and owning are two different things. I don't want to bash Modulare as I said, they've got great wheels, but their QC isn't as good as HRE when it comes to custom finish. Sorry, but chips in clear and trapped dirt under paint keeps you out of top tier, regardless of how good the material is. This isn't to say ALL their wheels had this issue, but I've seen a couple through the years.

COR Forged is definitely not a "low tier" wheel company. Your criteria for ranking the wheel manufacturers is all wrong, especially with ADV.1 listed as a "top tier" company.
