I saw this pic online and thought it was cool and would share it. Looks like a new machined remake of the Z wheel. I used to always love wheels that obviously came from the after market but as I get older I'm starting to like the more subtle approach to mods, I like stuff that you have to take a 2nd glance at before you realize its not stock. And these wheels pretty much fall in that category for me. I got the pic off of the Street Shops inc. Site.

Ok well I looked into it some more and these are prob just machined faced wheels, but I thought they looked completely machined to me. Almost like the mono forged type wheels. Sorry for the stupid post

I was looking at it from my cell. I think It would be really nice if the whole wheel was machined and not just the face.

HRE makes a great looking wheel that is similar to the stock Z wheel.

That type of wheel is what always caught my eye, now its more about this look, but those are awful expensive for a factory type look

You posted as I was looking for those pics!

They are not my wheels, I have 545R's. We tried these on my car, they are from the silver Caravaggio wide body, Tony's old car.







In this pic you can see how wrong the offset is on my car, same 345/25/20 tire. Some guys would say, ''oh they only stick out a little''!



Here are some other WB cars with the same HRE.'s

What kind of shop is that? I've never seen that many Caravaggio's in one area before
