One word for the Formula's........Heavy!!
Then again HRE does not have the greatest reputation for making strong wheels that can stand up to track use.

What are you using them for? Road? Track? Does weight matter to you?

I ordered a set of Forge Line VRP3's from the Wheel Source in Dayton.

I'm not using it for the track, road only. Sorry I don't have pics, but the car is a 2002 996 C4S speed yellow.

I think the HRE 542 is one of the best looking rims for the 996.

I really don't like either of these wheels, but if I HAD to choose one, I would go with the Techart Formula GTS. I don't like the HRE 542r at all.
