Default New Wheels on Market, Need Photoshop

Hi Everyone,

I was at the SEMA show and I ran into these wheels on a Corvette out there. I blurred out the center cap because I'm working on getting a set for my car (can't give away all my secrets yet...but I can tell you the rims alone will be about $800 each).

They will make them in 19x9.5 fronts and 19x11 for the rears (with a much deeper dish on the rears). These ones on this particular car are 20x8.5 (fronts and the rears were 22x11).

Here's what I want....I don't like the unpolished channels on the 5 spokes. Could someone photoshop black channels on the spokes?

They look a lot like the cheap Stern ST11 which are $800 a set.



Not to mention the HP Racing HPR5 which you already have.

Why are you interested in these?

they look waaay too busy too. Theres polished lips, rivets, black paint, & unpolished channels. Too much for me but if you like them, get 'em! But you can save alot of money if you go with the ones in the second pic. And they even have the black channels like you wanted

The reason I'm interested in these is because of the SIZE of the rims. 19x9.5 for the fronts and 19x11 for the rears. HPR5's only come in 19x9.5...no larger.

I know....I know...I know....if I'm looking for that size and traction...why am I going with 19's! I like the size of the 19's but would like a fatter tire on the rear....both for traction and looks.

Just widen them. It's way cheaper.

Don't get too excited. I don't think they are that great. Go on ebay and the sellers name is eliteswholesale. Then search their store for Stern. I wish I could post a link, but mods won't allow it.

It's a 5x120 BMW pattern, but the offset is good, 46mm. So yea, it will fit. They sell a 8.5 and 9.5 staggered fit, but if you ask they can probably sell you 4 of the 9.5's

For one the spokes have a lot of curve to them and it looks strange to me, second the lips are machined, whereas a polished lip would look a lot better. That's just my opinion. If you like them then that's cool.
