I'm thinking about the HRE C21's myself. Any thoughts?

OUCH!!! I've heard of "giving an arm and a leg," but giving both nuts, too? But.... who needs nuts when you have a P-car with those wheels.

Yeah, I hear this is a BIG TIME problem. Why have an AWD car if you have to drive 45 mph in the rain.

LOVE that TT color

Please post pics when you have them mounted. I have a silver car and it is making wheel decisions difficult for me. If anybody else has silver C4S pics with various wheels I would appreciate it!

Those things are totally worth the money. They are SICK. I wanted them so bad when I got my car, but I could not pull the trigger. Nice work. Man, those are nice.

Well, uh, huh. Hmmmm. Errrr... 7k, huh?

How would I explain that charge on the Amex?

Maybe I could get those and slam some Kumho's on there to save a few bucks...

Hmm.

I hope those continentals are nothing like the OEM tires which are terrible - if I was spending $7000 on wheels and tires, I probably wouldn't sweat another $400 to get significantly better tires.
