Hey:

Those look real good, should be a great combo.
Also they look so nice they deserve some screw on polished alloy, stainless, or chrome valve stems. The local custom bike shops here used to carry the polished alloy ones with clear or coloured anodization. They were crazy expensive but looked super awesome. I went with the stainless ones on my last set of wheels, got them at the local NAPA. Good Luck, looking foward to the new pics.

Aye I already have shorty stainless stems sitting in my room

Been going through specs on tires and now set on 275/30/19 and 285/30/20. the fronts are exactly 1 inch shorter which should mean the tire sidewalls should look the same size front and rear. THe reccomended rim widths and all the specs on paper show the tires will fit a 9.5 and 10 the same giving the same look and stretch front and rear. I'm excited !

I apologize guys... I don't even have the car yet it should reach Michigan from Cali on Monday or tuesday and I'll be bringing her home. I ordered Ground control coil overs and the tires I will probably order tomorrow or Monday since it probably wont make a difference as it's weekend. Hopefully since I am off work next week I can get to work and get the coilovers on by weekend and by then the tires arrive. So best case scenario, next weekend is possible that I'll have the wheels on and the car lowered

i STILL haven't gone to look at the wheels but I'll be going to my parents tonight so I'll have some more pics for you guys a bit later !!

I talked about it with my friend who has a slammed 350z on 19s and I was thinking to sell the HREs and go with ccws or something else in 19/19 and all he kept saying was... THEY ARE HRE's... over and over again lol. I think hes right. without dropping a small fortune for a new set I doubt I would come across a good deal that i got on these again. Even though they are 19/20.. THEY ARE HREs. LOL

Well here's the pics as promised...

These Boxes greeted me as I stepped into my parents garage.. (messy atm my vette sits and its guts and parts cover most of the floor on the other side.. needless to say they yell at me every time I come over lol)


Opened the first box..


Laid out a 19 and a 20 on my vette



Just pure sex. They look so good I removed a few local ads I put up for them. (put them up for sale cuz I didnt end up getting a c5 as planned but couldnt be more happier than with an SS )


I have 2 covers on the vette.. My brothers old ss car cover on top. Now I have an SS to use it on !

Thumbs up

IMO, SWEET looking wheels, but ditch the long rubber valve stems for some shorter bolt in metal valve stems.
That way it won't look like a Hot chick with 3" nipples!

Something like this would look good:

Or some flush mounts:

Haha it's all good thanks for mentioning it! I will say though... Inever saw flushmounts before... They requiring screwing in a stem before filling? Those would look so dam sweet !

Yeah, that's what I put on mine(flush mounts).
Once you un-screw the flat cap you just screw in a chromed metal adapter
I got the Gorilla valve stem pt# VS406C.
