Default HRE's are on!

After having problems with our Iforged wheels, we ordered HRE's and now they're finally on. The wheels are high polish 546's 18x9.5 front and 19x11 rear with Michelin PS2's 275 front and 305 rear. I just need to talk my dad into lowering it.

Thanks guys! We wanted to do something a little different with the 6 spokes. I'v only seen it on a black z and I think it turned out great.

I assume as a member, I'm supposed to go with the herd. Honestly, for the bucks you must have paid, I think they are a bit much. A little flashy for me. I know I'll get slammed for not being in love with them, so I'll jump in to the fire and also say the tail light louvers take away from a classy car. Go ahead....smack me around. Just my opinion.

Here is the story. I wanted my dad to get ccw's but he wanted wheels with rivet's. He likes that look. The Iforged wheels would have cleared our brakes if we used a spacer which I wanted him to do because I love the lips on the Iforged but he didnt want to run a spacer. So he wanted me to order him HRE's. And yea I agree I HATE the tail light louvers too. Hey I tried to talk him into Euro tails but he didn't like it.

While the wheels may not be exactly for me either, I can appreciate their beauty and give you two of these, .
Those louvers though gotta go!
