HRE 542s. I got them on and I'm not 100% on them.

I'm NOT a big fan of black wheels, but those look pretty good on your car. I think you made a good choice...

I love HRE's not sure about the 542's though... Also I don't like black wheels on a black car. I like 545's

I am a fan of black wheels and those are hot!! I think red painted caliper would look nice on there?

I think the GN wheel is one of the best looking stock wheels ever.

Ultimately, only you can decide if they work for you or not. Those might not have been my choice but they certainly don't look bad. I agree with Tom_Slick, maybe painting the calipers would help. Perhaps matching the red on your hash marks would pull it together?
