Default POLL: Time For New Wheels Again!!!

I love my HRE 540's but I really don't want to send them back to HRE to have them widened.
I want to run 18" all around with 285's up front and 335's or 345's in the rear so I can use all the power I'm putting down.
I've been leaning towards the CCW Classic Streets big wheel package or going with HRE 541's.
What do you all think?
BTY the HRE 540's will be up for grabs soon if anyone wants them.
:cheers:

Get the CCW 505A wheels with a 19x13 rear.

Tub your car and run 355 Pirellis in the back.
