Im completely lost when it comes to deciding on a pair of wheels for my car. I have a liquid red G8 GT. I have an opportunity for the a set of 18" HRE 540s for cheap ($1000 cheap) and im just on the fence as to if i will like having 18's or if i want to go with something larger like 20" TSW Nurburgrings. Im almost positive i want black wheels to go along with the paint scheme im working on. I havent found much in terms of the HREs

Since nobody reads, this is what it will look like with the TSWs **not my car**

if thats how it sits right now, leave it. the thing looks perfect

noo thats what it has potential to look like. Those are the tsw's and all of the chrome blacked out.

the HREs look like this

Believe it or not Camaro 20 inch stockers look pretty bad *** on G8's.

And wheels with tires are cheap.

but their so heavy, that was one of my options also. I mostly was sticking with the 18" HREs just because my car has brand new tires (18") on it so thats alot of money saved

go with the 18's , they will be better for handling , ride and keep your hp the same , you will lose power with the 20s .

Wow, looks great !

HRE is a very expensive rim, what would the cost of a set of 4 be without tires versus a set of 4 TSW's with tires? Me personally, I think the TSW wheels look better for the G8, but I am also not a fan of rivets...

the cost a new set.. .about $5000, for the set I can get. $1000 with tires.

I'm more of a fan of the HREs. Plus at $1k for a set WITH tires is beyond a steal.

They both look good, but he HRE's look better i think. I wouldn't go black. Too played out now. I think the gunmetal would be sick

My only worry with the HRE's is that they are 18" but Im going to check them out tomorrow. He sent me pictures of them and the scratches arent that bad. I shall see tomorrow though

Ls2SilverBullet

I think the 18s will look good and the car will respond a little better with the smaller wheels. As long as they arnt curbrashed up it sounds like its a steal

the 5th gen wheels look amazing but the ride gets harsher and they are heavy. I had to postpone going to look at the HREs until next week but hopefully they are still around come Monday.

^I wouldnt put HREs on a daily. Polished lip, possibility of curb rash. Sounds like a bad idea no matter what the price is.

Any wheel with a lip! Are they 18" on ur pic with drop? Looks good I need some soon!!

my bandit

iTrader: (10)

thats not my car, take off the wheels and drop, then youll have my car haha. I think the ones on the car are 20's but i could be wrong

elmarro

I had 20" on mine with no drop this is how it sit!
