I know a stack of us were there… i walked the floor a couple days. It was a great show actually. Some observations i made. HRE is just head and shoulders above most of the other people trying to play in the high end wheel market. Forgestar’s booth was meh, their people just stood around, the wheels were not easy to observe etc. HRE’s booth was in an incredible spot, their cars and people were awesome to work with. Their wheels were readily accessible and absolutely beautiful… Their finishing and colour specs were the best at the show… then the guy told me the price for a new set… jesus christ they are expensive… i dont know if they are really worth it but you can see where the money goes, that is for sure. I will definitely own a set of HRE in the future but i’ll probably by them second hand. They had an incredible app on display too… really set them selves apart from the rest. Only other wheels comparable were the Rays / Mackin Industries products… didnt have the showmanship of HRE but also dont have the price. Everyone else appeared to be playing catch up. – The PBE - Paint, Body and Equipment section was surrpisingly good. NACE (national auto collision expo) Imho is dead because of SEMA… the NACE expo has nothing on SEMA and all of the industry guys i spoke to agreed. – That CF Pagani Huayra gave me an intense boner. Show was worthwhile… I’ll add more comments as others offer their input. ---

I took all of 3 pics at SEMA… didnt figure it was worth the time to take more really. 2 of the 3 pics were of the same car…the Lambo in the Giovanni booth… they had the hottest cars and spent the most on women too 🙂 This Lambo was just awesomely done… i stood there for like 3 minutes just looking it… then the chicks in the booth, then the car again… and so on. ![http://www.bings.ca/images/SEMA2013%20(2).JPG](http://www.bings.ca/images/SEMA2013%20(2).JPG) ![http://www.bings.ca/images/SEMA2013%20(3).JPG](http://www.bings.ca/images/SEMA2013%20(3).JPG) ---
