Re: Besides HRE??? (Dreamin)
Not my car... pics are from another forum. Sizes are 18x10 and 18x11.5 with 335's out back. CCWs also come w/silver centers... but this is the one and only style CCW makes. Wheels are ~$425/each.

Re: Besides HRE??? (Raron)
Alright, so when I order my MY Z I have this 5K boulder tied to my neck because I'll have to go get some HRE's. However, there has to be alternatives. What else have you put on your Z that looks good but won't cost so much.
I've done Kinesis, BBS, SSR, on other cars. But it seems HRE is the law around here. Post pictures of different wheels. HRE's are welcomed too.

If you're interested, call the West Coast office and speak with Jeff. Excellent company to deal with and the wheels are absolutely fantastic. I have them on the C4 and they've been great. You'll end up paying around $3k for nice tires and wheels. Custom colors / polishing is available as well.
Good luck.

Re: Besides HRE??? (bwhitmore)
Everyone that has HRE's always bitches about the service from the company. When they are put up for sale in the parts section they always have scratches or pits so that lends me to think that they are easy to damage.
I went with the CCW's and Pilot Sports. They have the strongest wheels and in my opinion look better. Of course I think chrome looks like crap, if thats what your into maybe the CCW's are not for you.

Re: Besides HRE??? (drs211)
what is the brand name of that wheel (5 star ) posted from Danny?
How much do those go for? They look amazing...
I just hope they are not a pricey as the HREs...

Which forum did you find the pic. of the Black Z06 with the CCW wheels in? I've been trying to find that forum again and have forgotten where it is.

Original thread is on the "other Z06" forum... posting the URL here is blocked by this website.
Once there, the title of the post is "CCW wheels pics w/black centers here" by "VenemousZ06".
But the pics are no longer in that post... I put them on my website, and the pics above are linked from my website.

I was getting my chrome Z06 wheels put on and in the shop saw a vette with American Raciing wheels on it-looked similar to an HRE 540 series, says he payed <$2K for the set...grey mag in the cntr with a chrome polish on the outer-looked really sharp.
Anyone have any experience with AR wheels?
