wait, what about CCW and Forgeline? I would put them up there with HRE, BBS, etc... both have plenty of street cred too.
Forgeline are found on many pro race teams... and CCW seems to be part of the standard mod list for any big HP supra.

They make great rims but ive always felt they lacked creativity but to be honest with you i would put creativity at the bottom of my list when selecting a brand.

Forgeline has stepped up there game in recent years when it came to making good looking wheels. If I was to buy some wheels brand new at that level it would be either HRE or Forgeline.

i would maybe stay away form the polished lip as they have all those spokes it will be hard to keep up with the polishing... i dont just my guess. but either way what ever you chose them they are going to look amazing... i was gona say black lip gloss and gunmetal face

I'm going CCW if I ever decide to spend $$$ on wheels.
My biggest concern is support. If I order Work/Volk/etc. wheels, I would be concerned about replacement and the down time. I figured since CCW is U.S. and all in-house, I can always get what I need if a wheel is damaged.
As many have already mentioned, I would avoid any "boutique" brand wheels, and stick to brands that are well known with history.

If you were to get multi-peicewheels. Barrels and Lips can be found all over the place and are easy to replace. I doubt you would break a center. Japanese standards are among the best in the world rivaling and sometimes exceeding those set by TUV standards.
I like your term for the industry "boutique wheels". Its fitting......as if they were women's shoes.
