I think it looks nice back in 2006, those style of wheels are outdated. I think HRE calls them classics now. Doesn't matter what I think as long as you like them.

If you find you want to add my forged monoblocks to your collection down the road, those tires should swap right over, and you would probably save about 8-10 pounds per wheel.

I think they would look amazing refinished in black on your car. My photoshop skills are at the kindergarten level, but I did this one up to get a feel of how they would look anyway

Uhmmm...no problem...you are entitled to your opinion...

However, today at duPont Registry's Cars & Coffee the wheels got tons of compliments...again it is nice to hear but what matters most is that I like them...

Oh and one more thing about the wheels (not just replying to gota911) is that I did some aggressive driving today (hard acceleration and hit some curves) and very impressed with this setup...

I agree that the most important thing is that you like them.
