Default New HRE's on...

After 6 long weeks, they finally showed up. HRE P107, 20x11F 21x13R
Pirelli Pzero 295/25/20F 375/20/21R. I was amazed how light these wheels were, I will weigh them later and let you guys know. Perfect fitment, no rubbing, no aggressive offset, just perfect. Had them done in satin charcoal. What do you guys think?

As always with your cars... perfect. Love how they really show off those carbon ceramic Brembos!

Do you have a direct shot of the rear? Those must look like steam rollers

I didn't darken it, it has clear bra on it, maybe that's why..

Looks pretty good but I'm confused. The rears are 375s but they don't seem to fill out the wheel well very well. What gives?

What do you mean, width or height? I had the wheels made so the tires do not stick out of the fenders.. Also, the rear tires are 20 series. Stock rears are 26.6" tall, these are 26.9" tall..

Just incredible. You always know how to do it right. I thought 21s would be too big but it suits this car. Nice job!

Looks amazing!!!

Curious...how do you determine size and widths? Is this something that you measure or do you consult with a vendor? Your fitments on all your cars are spot on.

Very tasteful, looks really good. I like the way they show off the calipers. Massive red brakes.

Thanks everyone. I use Ben from Wheels Boutique. He is the best, knows exact fitments. He has done it all. I just have to tell him if I want standard, conservative or aggressive fitment, he just does it.

That's good to know, thanks.
Your vision of stance and wheel choice combined with Ben's expertise is a perfect combination

Thank you. I was just talking to Ben, I think I'm going to try some 305/25/20's for the front, I have plenty of room...

I always enjoy seeing the updates on your stable, especially with the Z. I'm a huge fan of the stance and aggressive look these wheels give off; great job.

As I'm sure these wheels are for more show than go, what convinced you to go with a 375 out back with such a thin sidewall? Aside from the absurdly thick amounts of rubber you'd be able to permanently embed into some pavement lol!

You plan on keeping the car mostly stock for now?
