Default HRE wheels

I purchased a 2000 with HRE 547 wheels of 20 and 19" and Michelin AS sport tires. I don't see these wheels on any vendors website and I am wondering your opinion of this wheel/tire combination.

HRE are high end rims, CCW's are the affordable version of them. Some say they are way too heavy but do to the condition of our rds these days, I'll take a heavy rim over a light one. I can't begin to tell you how many times I hit a pot hole hard enough to rattle your teeth and did not bend a rim. Timing and being at the right place at the right time was on my side when I got mine...saved thousands.

For looks there great retail is between $1100 and $1300 a wheel. For performance they suck because they are stinkin heavy and screw with your gear ratios
