Default WHEEL IDEAS

Looking to maybe sell my HRE's and replace with one of the possible options I PHOTO-CHOPPED.
HREs are 19s but will switch to 18s
My number one is the BBS E88s but keep flipping between gold or silver centers.
Also love the older style RUFs but afraid their not available.
Also love the all bronze 5spokes.

Out of the ones that you have there I like any of the silver faced ones. I like gold just not with the polished lips.

I like both bbs silver and gold options. I've been thinking of the same but I still love my turbo twists.

here are my here are my picks.

looks like you looks like you did some graphic work on the second one. Are you going to do it?



PS. Did you heave your old shocks in the bin? I need something for a rescue car until I budget up for something else.

I like the gold. Have you looked at tying it in with the graphic in gold?

I don’t think you can wrong with any of those, honestly. But I also love the HRE’s you have now. I get it, 18’s are probably a “better” choice but man it looks good as is. If you go to 18’s I think silver is a better contrast to darker colored cars than gold; but that’s just me. The gold in the p’shop’d images looks amazing just thinking silver would look better in real life.

They might only come in black, but MOMO has the Heritage 6 wheel that might be up your alley.

I really like the Momo heritage, it's one of my top choices right now if I buy new wheels rather than powder coat. Mod Bargains has a bunch of different colors on them.

I agree....really like the look of the 19's but want the handling/performance of the 18s.
This is why I can't make any decisions.....5 spoke? - multi spoke? - heritage? - 18? - 19? - gold? - silver?

Get the opposite of your HRE's for a change. It looks like they were multi-spoke (avatar) so do a 5 spoke for a fresh look.

If you like RUF style wheels why not go with the HRE 305M's or new 527M's? They can be had in 18" or 19" + any color you want + you get HRE's legendary build quality and brand respect.

HRE Classic 305 would be my choice in 3 piece! I like the gold and polished lips. If you want something a bit more subtle on the face I would definitely go with HRE's Champagne Finish.
