Those are very nice wheels...if you got the bankroll. If you can afford it, go for it.

A lighter colored face than gloss black might be warranted but that's just my taste. The 2 step lip + gloss black face will make the wheel look smaller.

I personally like the 542's. They are very clean wheels.

I vote gloss black. Too many nice wheels out there, few months from now, you'll probably want another set. Ask several guys here, some are on their 2nd set. I soon will be going on my 3rd. If those new Ray's with titanium lip was available in 20", I would be sold.

Im on my way to a second set too, im currently on volks gt7's and planning on getting rid of it. I got a really good offer on the Hre's and its hard to pass it up! but i know theres a lot more good looking wheels out there. I glanced through the sema pics and i can't decide on which rims to go with! i wish someone has these wheels on the coupe so i can check it out

Gorgeous wheels, but they're close to $2k a wheel...



...that's the pricing shown on the HREwheels site anyway. Maybe that's list price and you can get cheaper prices other places? I should have never clicked on that link...

The 845R is also a beautiful wheel.
