Talking Comments Welcome

I am looking at replacing my current wheels with the HRE 841's or 847's (same but 5 spoke) in 18's or 19's. I was going to get the centers painted AS to match my car. Then I was sent a few pictures with Charcoal centers. The picture is an 841 19x10 wheel.

Question how do you think these centers will go with the AS? Should I stick to AS centers. There is a picture of a BMW below silver with charcoal centers for reference.

Thanks!!!

Gary

Gary,
those are awesome looking wheels. With the 840 series you are gonna go for big dollars.

Silver would look better on an AS car (like my current HREs...). I was also thinking of getting the ones you have above (840R) or the 847R once done with engine mods to show more of my brembos than my current wheels do. Did you consider a full polished center?? (I think I am gonna do that...)

Those rims have a little rice look to me. I would spend some exrtra $$$$$$$ and put some speedlines on it.
