Default Put my HRE's on today
Finally got the suspension and brake work done and got it outside for the first time, What do you guys think? They are 18x10 front and 18x11 rear. They are currently mounted on Hoosier Auto X tires, but I am going to change them to something good for driving in the street. Heres a few pics:

They look good. I'm not crazy about the white/silver berger - it looks almost like the dealer shipping tape that came on my bumper, but to each his own.

Do you have LPE mods done to your car? If not, I'd probably try to get some HRE centers.

The tire sizes are gonna be 275/35 for the front and either 295/35 or 315/30 for the rear.

The berger panel is silver, I wanted to try something different, I think it does look crappy in the pics but really nice in person, you have to see the camaro letters to appreciate it -

You have them on the wrong sides of the car, tread is facing the wrong direction.

No, it says right on the side of the tire mount this side out and has arrows, the thing is the passenger side are facing the right way and the drivers side the tread is going the other way, but the arrows on the side say they can go either way (it points left and right)

This is how they came from LPE? I dont know, the tires are coming off anyways, I just got em on there now until I get new ones.

Not telling how to mod your car, but if you got a SS hood and painted on the manta strip silver, it would kinda match your rear silver berger panal a bit better...Just a idea..

Yea thats what I want to do, the more I look at the pics I think it doenst look good, but I go out in the garage and look at it and i think it looks great, I guess its just the pictures. Im considering maybe having the berger panel fade from blue on the ends to silver in the middle, that wont make it look like I stuck a panel from a silver car on it (its really not even from a silver car) but the pics make it look like I just stuck any color on the back.

The lettering looks nice and clean on the Berger. Again, it just looked a bit off in pictures, but if you're happy with it there's no reason to change.

HREs are kickass wheels. But I'd rather sport HRE badging than the LPE caps. What suspension is in the car. I'm sure it could use a couple days to settle.

Looks pretty good.
