HRE and Rota wheels are at completely opposite sides of the wheel quality spectrum. If you have money for HRE's...you definitely can, and should, be cross-shopping better quality wheels.

I got the MRR FS01 flow formed. The wheel is lighter than my previous wheels. Affordable. Im happy with them so far. <br > i had to get a high offset in the rear because that is as high as RS-R blacki suspension will go. I had to lose the concave look so my tires wont rub.😣. I thought about HRE wheels but if you're not racing, on the track, etc.. just looking for a nice wheel for daily driving. I dont think HRE is necessary for the price. But i wouldnt get a cheap bad quality wheel either. Just my opinion.

My last set of wheels were actually AG M590. The quality for daily driving is not bad. Although i did feel a noticeable weight difference between the AG M590 and the MRR FS01(MRR FLOW FORM being lighter) for the price. I say AG is worth it. But if you have the cash. Go with lighter/stronger wheels of course. <br > <br >
As of my current set. I have 19 x 8.5 +35 front. 19 x 9.5 +48 rear. Im not too sure of the drop as they are coilovers and the rear is on the highest setting. Im selling my AG M590 if you are local. But they do have scuff marks.

Prices are amazing. I had them for years on my other cars with no issues. They are very tough rims as well and fairly light compared to other non forged rims.
rota? i'd probably pass on the rota on a lexus. a honda sure, but not lexus

Those are nice. What color is your car? White also? That would look really nice on white. Of course you would still need a decent drop to complete the look.

My car is actually nebula gray. Not sure how that would look on atomic silver. But with the right drop, you can make almost any wheel look good on a car. Just dont go chrome, lol.
