Default Hre 543r

Morning... I have found a set of Polished HRE

543R wheels 17x9 up front 18x10 out back that were on a C5.... Will these wheels fit my 99 Formula WS6? w.o protruding...?

HRE's on a formula would be sick

Not sure if they'd fit though

Yeah, bro... I knew a dude in the late 90's w the same car as mine (new) who installed these exact wheels. These have the proper offsets, bolt pattern etc... they were on a BASE C5.. So in theory they should bolt right up.... Still kicking it around. Waiting for some additional pics from the dude.

The only negative that popped in my mind was the cleaning. They appear to be a bear to properly clean. Too many things, almost like wire wheels. My old hands get tired and sore just thinking about it.

I would use a iron remover Carpro or Undrdog and a detail brush to get in the rivets. Polishing wouldn't be that bad. I would use Medallion on it. I had to do the 17th Ferrari ever built for Cavallino Its wheels took about 6 hours each to clean and polish. ​​​​​​​

Brother... I am going to make the trip to Haslet to drop em off when i get em... Hit me up what you'd need... Money well spent.
​​​​​​​If not, i actually enjoy cleaning up my toys ( i have a few).. Would just take me longer. I love that they are not chrome. I prefer the "Polished" look.

Let me set up my garage shop and bring them on. Launch date is this Fall.
