I think that might be me... well at least based on the prices I have paid 
Countless sets of AMG wheels (I have had 6 AMG cars and had 4 sets on my W210E55)
1 set of Brabus Mono III's
1 set of BBS CH's
1 set of OZ's Superleggera III's
3 sets of BBS LM's
11 Sets of HRE's and soon to be 12.
Damn.
Shopping for wheels is the man version of purse shopping IMHO.

I generally start my wheel planning prior to my car purchase. Im loyal to HRE over the past 7 years only straying once with the BBS LM's on the GTR.
I usually tell the guys over at HRE what car Im getting and they start by sending me pics of the wheels and build sheets with the right offsets and colors/textures.
HRE is not cheap and not for everyone but I will always spend more to get them. So usually it takes me about 1 week to pick out a set.

of course they're different, but design wise Kosei simply replicates the look of other name brand wheels. they did the same with their K1 wheel. they are light, but I trust my digital scale more than a spreadsheet. anyways back on topic and just what Justin has in store, again

On the shoulder
Forgestar is a horrible company in my book. I was too late when I researched the company well. So many people (including myself) have had horrible experiences with them. I ordered a set of Forgestar CF5 that was supposed to take 4 weeks to get to me, but took just under 6 months!!!! I got the run around all the time when checking on the status. "Oh, they'll be ready next week.." "We had to destroy them because they didn't make it through quality control..."
When I did finally receive them, every single one had something wrong with it!!!
Here's a thread I made on an Audi website:
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...ight=Forgestar
I will never order from them again, and I will continue to tell others to do the same.
