Smile I need help with Wheels

I am currently in the market for a set of wheels either 18's or 19's. I am looking for a wheel that is strong and light, something that can handle a few bumps here and there on these New England Roads. Money is not an issue, Does anyone have and feedback on the HRE wheels? Are they light and storng as well?

I had 20" lowenharts on my s-class about 2 years ago and I bent 3 wheels within 1 year. That is why I want a strong wheel.

Thanks,

With money not being an issue go with the HRE's.

no matter how strong is the wheels, it WILL bend if you are not carefull, Good wheel or cheap wheel. 18" will less likely to bend compare to 19 or up (more rubber)

I would recommend 18", and some good forged wheel, HRE or SSR or any other brand. and change your driving habit: eyes on the road at all time, remember all the holes on the road (don't we all do this?), and try NOT to drive at night in unfamilar road)
