Exclamation "Its time for a change" PLACE YOUR VOTE HERE! HRE RIMS

** MOD EDIT**

Well, my HRE's are kinda busted. So I need to refinish them. I just want your opinions on which color will look best.

some custom dipped black chrome HRE 540r's would be

that or just keep it classic and clean with a silver machined finish and polished lip


the new shiny bronze finish volk just came out with might me sexy too never really seen a bronze mesh rim but with the "Shine" the new color has, it'd probably look pretty dope. I'd describe it almost as a bronze chrome

Hmm, I kinda like gold but its kinda to sporty.
I kinda like black but its hard to see the design of the mesh in pix.
I really like the polish but its a PITA to keep clean.
I like silver-ish-gunmetal-ish, cuz it hides dirt good, looks clean and classy and not to sporty.

I narrowd it down to the silver with a "hint" of blue pearl, but if i do the blue pearl i gotta have gloss. I kinda want it to be satin. what u guys think?

Gloss silver with a blue pearl?
or-
Satin silver?

On a WDP I would like to see the gold and maybe a black chrome lip , would be different and stand out , I think it would look great.

Brushed Aluminum.. Trust me on that. I have a buddy with the 540R's on his e46, and it looks amazing..

So my vote goes to BRUSHED ALUMINUM W/ POLISHED LIP.

OMFG OMFG OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

LOL! I was just thinking that and at the same time searching how to achive this type of finish, its pretty easy but may not come out very professional but im sure I can replicate this. HAHAHAHAH thats funny. I litterally just finished researching this and decided to come in here and add that option "brushed alum" haha. I really like it and I think this maybe my final decision.

two of my close buddies are rocking HRE's with Brushed Aluminum w/ polished lip.. One with the 540R and the other with 543R both in the same finish. The one with the 543R originally wanted the Kinesis K18's, but settled for the HRE's, since they pretty much look the same! It looks so sick rolling at night time.. It's win/win man.

I know for sure my next set of rims would be brushed aluminum, without a doubt.

I'm wondering how much it is to change from 114x5 to 120x5...

One more thing. TE37's in Brushed Alumunim.. I wonder how it'd look..

Don't get me wrong guys, I love Gold on White. but HRE's need to be polished.. OP, it all depends on the look your going for,
Gold = JDM sport look
Polished = VIP classic look
