Kevin,
that is a SWEET looking cab! Love those rims, did you need an offset to shoehorn 11" on the rear?

Both are nice wheels but I like the Cargraphics better. IMO, it would be a toss up between the cargraphics and the HRE 540s.

I would agree with the Cargraphics or the HRE 540. More a PITA to clean but I believe they are substantially lighter than the RUF.

Doug, those HRE's look sweet!

i have cargraphic 19s and a cargraphic gt3 kit being installed on '99 c2. should be out tomorrow. anyways, what i like about the cargraphics are that they come with 315/25/19 yokohamas in the rear. thats some serious meet which from what i believe, and i could be wrong, are not that common even among the widebodies. too bad its 900 bucks a pair for those however. the other 19s i believe come in offsets that don't allow such meat to fit in the rear. i'll post pics when the car comes out.
