Default New wheels....Thoughts?

OK, since you guys talked me out of 24" spinners....What do you guys think of these? I don't like the two tone look so thinking either black or charcoal the entire wheel?

Remember my car is GT silver.

Thanks Alex "Sharkster."

HRE C20's my fav wheels. Been thinking bout gettin them long time ago, never pull da trigger cuz car ain't here yet.

Anyways, I think they'll look really really nice. Um... silver car, I think u would wanna go with black. It'll be a great combo, stunning look and really stand out. Charcoal is a nice color also, but it wouldn't stand out as much.... up to you, it'll look nice either way.

Dawg,
I think on a GT Silver car those rims need a silver lip. What do you think?

+1 for sure a polished lip!!!

If I was the one picking the rims, I would go with black c20s with polished lip.

That would do the job.

You guys might want to check out the C90's HRE's new competition series. They look similar to the C20's (I actually prefer the look of the C20) but are considerably lighter. I believe they are supposed to be stronger as well. HRE's are great wheels.

No polished lip. That's the rim equivalent to a mullet. If you are going to go to the black-out look, do it all the way.

I didnt say polished but just silver. And I LIKE my mullet thank you very much!!!!
Its the only way us Swiss mexicans can grow hair!!!

Remember the car is silver. I dont think it will look right with black out completely. maybe with Speed Yellow. But a silver car I think need some type of accent. Now if you dont mind I am going to go get a haircut!!!

Definitely a good looking wheel. If you havent already definitely check out HRE's comp series wheels, especially their C21 Cup! Here's a couple on an RS.

Just makes it look like you have white-walls. I agree that the black-out look lends its self to yellow or red better.

Mcgarret So what is the solution? Just a silver side of the rim? or a silver stripe? What would you do?
Is that possible or do you have to get the whole polished rim?

And bookem Danny boy!

The HRE on the yellow car isnt the COMP series

If u wish to get a set of HRE, definitely C20 or C21
Charcoal black spokes will be nice
