I don't like the muddled black ... If they were gloss black like they appear in the full profile shot then I'd say they would be worth putting on the Imola to test out.

But as they are, I still like your other ones much better.

Meh, I've never liked those particular HREs.... most cars that wear those. I like powdercoat finishes in general but it doesn't do anything for the wheels. GT-Vs still look WAY better.

^--- I agree, you can do a lot better, and your volks looks much better than those HREs as is. Keep looking, you'll find something awesome

^ heh... still up in the air on picking these wheels up... that is why. Think I found a buyer for my GTV's, but not 100% sure if I really NEED to get new wheels out of sheer boredom.

You're going to regret it.

As Jesal said, they've been around for a decade and LOOK it.

Your current setup looks PERFECT for your car.

I really like the HREs. You should at least give them a test fit IMO

It was CLPower who said they's teh old but I still think you're all nuts.

Those HREs look like they came off a 1999 M3.
