As far as HREs, how do you feel between the competition series and the others? I only care about performance (weight, etc.)

Those are a few more random rims.
My vote? The 845R from Neal in flat black with a polished or chrome lip (I still dunno what kind of lip would look best).

With regard to spoke count, I do not think I could advise anything less than 5spoke (I personally do not care for any 3 spoke style, especially not for a 211)
I think a solid or split 5 spoke will do it.
Here are a few choices that you can take a look at on our site.
IFORGED Aero, Classic

KLASS KF100

ZONE 3 (thicker 5 spoke)

Weld E3 Concept Forged 3 spoke Mercedes Wheel
Check these wheels out.
http://www.e3wheels.com/revolution/
Click on number 106 Mercedes. 20" 3 spoke multipiece forged and look very cool. I don't know the weight however but I know Weld makes quality stuff. Just thought I'd show you what I found.

And to think i started this thread.
I think I am now leaning towards a five spoke, but I'd like skinny spokes. I know iforged works. I also love the HRE C22s. Anyone know anything about the weight / torque limits on the skinny spokes.
