TA Adam, the wheels were ordered like this. HRE does custom paint matching and pinstriping.

BlueBird, I'll weigh the entire wheel/tire vs the stockers once I get the tires mounted. They are pretty light wheels.

I'm with you on this one, not feeling the solid color. Maybe my mind will change once they are on the car. I would have done black center, gray lip. But hey, I'm not the one with the car. As far as the wheel design goes, one of my favorite from HRE. A friend of mine has them on his M6 and his Viper and they look great.

Look at my current OEM wheels. They are a solid color and give the car a very stealth and sinister look. No bling required. I'm going for more of a high-tech modern look for the Corvette. I like my cars a little more unique looking than everyone else's.

Yes, they are. I love mine.

Wheels look great, Tony. If I can finish the sale of my car, I'll be looking to buy a Vette, which means I'll be contacting you about a set of wheels for it.

I'll probably take delivery of the car before ordering the wheels, though. Unlike some people.

Well, I was basing that on typical 2-month production times for custom wheels. I figured I'd have the stockers at least 2-3 months.

HRE delivers in 3 weeks. News to me

Very nice I like how that wheel lets you show off the massive brakes on that car. Compliments on the color matching as well.

Very nice wheels and cars! This is going to be a hard week for you looking at those wheels just sitting there waiting to be mounted.
