I like the HRE's. I'm not a fan of that Mesh 5 spoke concave design. Modulare didn't do it right, other brands actually try to make it look like a 3 piece by separating the spoke from the barrel.

My vote HRE, it would give your AW a nice classy sporty look. The other ones are a whole different look.

both great wheels equal in quality. The HRE's are maybe a little more performance oriented (I.E. lighter).

...So past that, its really all personal taste. I used to love the 590's but I'm a little tired of Mesh style wheels these days

I agree, and I might add that the deep dish wheel feels a bit dated too. One piece monoblocks is what turns me on!

The HRE monoblocks are just gorgeous. The price is beyond me, but if $$$ was no object, that's the direction I'd go. But, I'd live in fear they'd get stolen.

Modulare, that split spoke wheel looks great. I like the HRE as well just not as much because I see too many mesh wheels on BMWs these days. Check the forum and see how many people have put that style of wheel on their car. Yes thats a good thing because they look great and definitely you dont see many HRE in that style, mostly because of the price so you will be somewhat unique. But you most definitely dont see many, if at all, Modulare 5 star style wheels. Any 5 star syle wheels I have seen on the BMW look great and much more personalized/unique.
