To me that's taking away from what the vehicle was originally designed to do.

For me it was a relatively simple; do I want make my car to handle slightly worse for the sake of looking uber cool in a parking lot, or would I rather get some lighter wheels that improves the driving dynamics and overall experience?

All in all it's a matter of personal wheel size preference, new or used, type of style, whether it's cast or forged monoblock or forged 3-piece and how much you want to spend. Personally I rather go with HRE because they're a very reputable and proven brand and the wheels are TUV/JWL/VIA certified, so you know the wheels has been engineered and tested for safety and rigidity. Good luck on the search for new wheels, it can be a daunting task because there's much selection out there!
