Default Which HRE wheels are these?
Any guesses as to the sizes in the picture? I would say 20" on the rear and 19" on the front.

546s? Looks like 19" all around to me. Nice high buck wheels.

Compare the spoke length between the front and rear wheels (from the center of the wheel out to the lip). The rears have visibly longer spokes.

That does not happen on the same diameter wheel.
