Default HRE Wheels on a C3

I love the look of HRE 547's on C5's, but I'm not sure if they would look right on a C3. Any one have any pics, other than merlin, that car is so custom it's hard to tell. looking for something that looks close to stock with HRE 547's, or any other HRE wheels if you have them, also state what size, thanks

Have never seen HRE wheels on a C3.. I'm pretty sure that they'd look great.. However - you'd need a wheel adapter...

I have 17x9.5" HRE's on mine, but they don't make this style anymore. Too bad because I'd like to get wider ones for the rear.

I think every regular forum member has Merlin's specs completely memorized :yesnod: It's been a while since I read through his whole website. I wish whoever has it now would let us know how she's doin these days.

Marko, those 2-tone wheels go great with the 2-tone paintjob :thumbs:
