Default HP Lightning or HPR5
Ok, not sure on the color yet, but I am trying to decide on the style.

I am thinking the popular HP Lightning


or the HPR5


So far I am leaning towards the lightning, but am just wondering what you guys think.

What color is the car and what finish on the wheels? I'd vote for the HPR5s just because they aren't chrome.

The car is pewter, I was trying to decide between going black or silver. I am thinking if i go with the lightning to go silver. and if i go with the hpr5 i was thinking black.

I say get the HPR5's. You got a nice set of brake rotors, paint the calipers and they will look badass for sure bro.

Someone here has a really clean silver LT1 T/A with the polished Lightnings. I was looking for his pics to post here, but couldn't find them. It looks really badass. I'd get the Lightnings.

I really wanted those wheels, and I would have them if they didn't make them in only stock width.

HPR5 > Lightning

Yeah, the width is the only bad thing about both wheels. But i have come to realize that there is no way to have it all, unless you wanna spend over $2,500 in wheels
