Re: Besides HRE??? (levettegrl)
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?

Re: Besides HRE??? (CANTEX)
Cantex,
They seem similar to the "Tiller FL" Budnik wheel, but they are different. The spokes are completely straight as opposed to the Tiller and the hub portion for the lug nuts is different as well. Maybe it is another Budnik Model that is not listed on their site....
Does anyone have anymore info on these wheels???

HRE's are for pretty boys. If you want a performance rim, go with CCW.
:lol:... they are just too expensive for most ... CCW's look just as good ... but cheaper ...

Re: Besides HRE??? (Dreamin)
Sorry Guys, I have been doing way too many drugs. The wheels are not Budnicks but rather Boyd Coddington's. They are Called the Timeless 2. Find them here: http://www.exoticwheel.net/BoydCoddington.html

Re: Besides HRE??? (drs211)
thanks for the info Danny....
do you happen to know what size the rims are? I just checked out the link for Boyds, and they dont carry 19" for the Timeless 2... just wondered if those are 20" all around

Re: Besides HRE??? (C5-VERT)
Some one should ask SW to post a pic of his white FRC. He has 19's up front and 20's in the back. They are HRE 541's or 547's and they are $ but they look sweet, that car looks sweet. I agree with most here but I think I will just save my money and get the HRE's. The Quicksilver with the factory grey Z06 rims looks pretty good anyways. :cheers:

Yea, us guys that buy $50,000 toys and then supercharge them are worried about the price of rims.
We buy CCW's because its a legit race wheel.

Check out XTREME M.S. XMS wheel in painted/ chrome /hi-polish or Hyper black it dont get no better.I use HRE 547's for my Brembo Gran Turismo 14" offset and Fikse does a great job on custom offset as well.
