HRE Wheels, Volk equivalents?

BlackZeda · 04-04-2015, 09:06 AM

My HREs have arrived!

They shipped chrome lug nuts instead of black ones (which they are overnighting), but since my car isn't blacked out (yet) and I have those nice shiny Z1 rotors and silver/black center caps I might just use the chrome.

Later when I color match all the chrome pieces to the wheels I will switch over to the black lug nuts.

I won't have these installed for a couple of weeks since we still usually have snow well into April.

With Michelin PSS's on these I am going to get the exact look that I wanted. I am giddy with excitement for both

Last weekend I had them mounted and they are glorious!!!

However, it has rained pretty much every day between now and then, so these pictures don't do them justice as I need to give them a proper cleaning for close-ups:

Better pictures to come!

they look grrrreat. im not typically into paint matching the door handles but it looks like it might be a good idea for you. they stand out too much now.

My next mod now that I have the wheels to compare it to, will be to color match the door handles, side emblem and the two large front and rear emblems to that same color. I will get the Evo-R large "Z" emblems and debadge the rest.

The door handles do look huge now!

Thanks...you never know how things will turn out when you are the first one to try a specific custom wheel.

I was hoping, and it turned out that the wheels are a definite performance upgrade. Between the new, lighter rotors and wheels, it feels like a suspension upgrade. A lot more traction and less disturbance from bumps.
