Just curious to what you all would think of HRE 545's on an SS. The car is NBM, but I am thinking of painting it the Le Mans blue that is on a the commemorative editions vette's. BTW, does anyone have pics of an SS with HRE 545's. Thanks.

I have the SLP chrome 10 spokes, but I just wanted something slightly bigger, and maybe a little more flashy. I've seen them on a vette (link below) and they looked really cool, but just curious as to how they would look on an SS.

I don't think I'm going to get the wheels yet. The HRE's cost enough to where I could get lots of motor and suspension work done before hand. Besides, I have a close friend first in line to get my wheels, sorry about that. Someone out there has to have pictures somewhere.

You do realize that the wheels on Tuan Lee's C5 are actually IForged Aeros right? Anyway, Steve2000SS used to have the 545s on his car and they looked amazing. If you have the money, by all means get them.
