Default HRE P40SC - Installed on my Z (pics inside!)

I got some wheels installed on my Z late last week. I ended up going with the HRE P40SC wheels, the brand new concave version of the HRE P40S wheel. I've always loved mesh wheels and when I heard about these coming out, I was very interested. The wait was well worth it, they are incredible. The attention to detail on these wheels are amazing, HRE really knows how to make a quality wheel.

The finish is a 'Brushed Tinted Clear Coat' and it is absolutely stunning. In bright settings, the wheel is closer to the standard brushed silver look, just a hair darker. In lower ambient light such as the early evening or night, they turn into a much darker shade, closer to gray than silver. I love it.

I got the wheels from Gerry @ Custom Wheels For Less. Please be sure to send him a PM if you're interested in any set of wheels for your Corvette. His customer service and commitment to quality is outstanding. There were a few bumps on the road that were outside of his control and he did his best to take care of me.

These wheels are brand new and just started showing up on Zs last week, but no one has put up any quality pictures yet. I have a more formal photoshoot coming up, but in the meantime, I wanted to get a few good ones up for those curious about fitment and quality.

Here are a few pictures I took earlier this afternoon.

Thank you all.

I'll have to check out what events are coming up this year. I haven't been to a Corvette one yet (intentionally). Funny story though, I was having dinner with a friend and the same night the local Corvette club was having dinner at the same restaurant a few tables away. I imagine a few members walked past the Z wondering whose it was .

Yup, 19 front, 20 rear. I prefer the staggered setup over 20/20. The car is lowered about half way on stock bolts on DRM Bilsteins.

Car needs more low, but those wheels are nice. Proper stance does so much for wheels.

Default Wow!

I was wondering what a red Z looked like with those wheels, it has to be the best looking Z i've seen! Nice, tasteful mods with the spoiler too! This is what my Z will look like if I ever find the right car, ugh!

Wow, those look fantastic. And personally I think you have the car sitting perfectly. People who think that car looks like it needs to be lowered should look at the cars when they are going down the road. The gap that you see sitting still suddenly looks just ride on the road. And I dislike the look of cars too low. These cars are serious sports cars, not low rider show cars. Just my opinion of course.

What are the wheel widths & tire sizes. I could be looking at this wrong but it almost looks like the rear tire is a little too narrow for the rims width compared to the front. Just curious. It is an awesome looking set of rims that I would like to get for my ride eventually.

Also does anyone know the weight? I'm curious compared to the factory ZR1 19/20's.

Its correct setup. ZR1 fitment. Would look incredible lowered a bit, would lessen the gap in the fender wells with this setup.

19x10 front with 285/30/19
20x13 rear with 335/25/20

Weights are for HRE P40SC

19x10 21 lbs
20x13 25 lbs

Michelin PS2ZP's
