Anyone have real experience with either of these wheels. I am looking a purchasing a set of 19x8.5" front and 19x11" or 11.5" rear three piece wheels for my Turbo Cab. The Champion wheels are 16 spoke and the HRE wheels are 20 spoke wheels. I will be running 235/35-19 front tires and 315/25-19 rear tires.

I'm not sure what the Champions look like, however, I am running the 540R's in 18" on my 993. Looks great, major PITA to keep looking great. If it is a daily driver, get something else or get the black finish. If it is a garage queen or weekend car, nothing beats the look, IMHO.

OK, so this is what I did, I purchased the HRE 540R with Porsche Silver painted centers, Porsche Crest center caps, and polished rims, 19x8.5" front and 19x11.5" rear three piece wheels for my Turbo Cab. I will be running 235/35-19 front and 315/25-19 rear Conitinental Sport Contact 2 tires. That should compliment a TT Cab in Artic Silver with PCCB and black top and interior nicely.
Thanks to everyone!

Personally I am an HRE guy, however for a multispoke wheel, I prefer the cargraphics and champion wheels to the HRE's.... I prefer the "straight" multispoke as aposed to the "bowed" multispoke of the 540R's...
