Thank you MOA4R, you are the man. I appreciate that. So what do you think guys? Any suggestions? I posted pictures a while back but it was w/ a camera phone so they weren't too good. These pics are better. What do you guys think? Any suggestions on what I should do next? I was going for a simple, sporty yet classy look. It brought me here.

EDIT: If you can afford HREs, you can afford a big brake upgrade. I'd suggest getting them done in red - would look good with the colored centercaps that you have.

Thanks Tommy. And Blake, not too many people like the way color matched wheels look on cars. I'm sorry you don't like them. I know I couldn't impress anyone. I like them though. Thanks for your opinion though buddy. I appreciate honestly. I'm not a big fan of chrome.

Congrats on the wheels, that really looks sweet. What size/offset did you get? That rear lip looks really deep, is that 3" lip? And last question, any rubbing issues cause it doesn't look like your fenders were rolled.
Cool color combo, not many have that so it makes it look unique.

Thanks IL230K. They are 19 x 9.5 in the rear and 19 x 8.5 in the front. I'm not sure what offset they are but I know it allowed for the biggest lip attainable all around. The lip is 3in. I have no rubbing issues at all, even w/ people in the back. and you're right, I didn't roll the fenders. Thanks for your reply.

Very clean & crisp ! I like 'em Good job NFAbenz
I think big red Brembo calipers would look good too on a larger size rotor.
Final combo:
wheel spokes = match with car
center cap = match with brake caliper
chrome lip = match with brake rotor
Congrats on sweet HRE wheels !

That's your dream combo, isn't it? Do you think you can find snow tires in that size?

Kev,
I'm going to get snow tires for the stock rims I have now and in the spring, a new set of 19" rims/tires. I'm just not sure which set but HRE's have always been on the top of the list.
Did you get your winter wheels from tirerack yet? How are the running for you in the snow?
See you next year for more mods from Steve.
