Kinesis, Fikse, and BBS get my vote. Their wheels are actually used on race cars and proven to withstand the loads seen on the track, running slicks. I've never seen, and likely never will see, an HRE wheel on a race car...they're nice for show, but for that price, I'd like something that's been proven strong. Forgeline makes strong wheels, but their styling needs work.
