Besides HRE???
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.

Send me an email to danny.sottile@disney.com and I will attach a few pics. This is a new wheel and is the first ever on a Vette. 19'' and 20'' combo which I feel looks better than any HRE's.

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)
That is a georgous looking vette. And those wheels are very trick looking, but, I am going to have to go with factory '02 Z06 or HRE'S. Those wheels have too many crooks and crannies to get the brake dust out of. HRE must be the law everywhere. Just my own opinion, though.

I've been looking at the Center Line forged wheels; 17-19 inch sizes, less than 15 lbs per 19 in wheel. Don't know the cost, but they have one that looks great in dark gray.

Re: Besides HRE??? (NastyC5)
I just ordered HRE 541 20x11s and 19x9.5. I plan on running 345/25/20s in the rear. I'll post in four weeks when the wheels show up and let you know how I like them. Hopefully they will fit
