I bet you've never seen this wheel setup before!

Psyche! For my first of upcoming 3 sets of HRE wheels, I went to the "totally played out" black monobloks on a white car. But I don't care! I saw how great these looked on Vic's former CLS and knew I had to make this my 405th overall set of HREs. Or was it 406 total sets? Man, who can keep count! As long as I keep getting my allowance, I'll be good!

These pics were taken at the detailer and sent to me....the finish is semi-gloss black and is not a standard finish you'll find in their website (my friends at HRE wanted me to emphasize that).





Who made them: HRE and Zeus

Who I bought them from: ACG Automotive in San Diego

What size are they: 20 x 9; 20 x 11

Tires: Hankooks

My originality: none

Why did I get new wheels: because I have unresolved pyschological problems

Center caps: Carbon Fiber

I applaud you... get what you want and not what the masses dictate based on what they see... almost everyone who says P40SC's are played out never even owned a set let alone a set of HRE's...

Not saying im copying you but i just got a set of P47SC's on the M6 in February and Ive already ordered a replacement set and they are ..... drum roll please......... yep black P40SC's.

Clap Clap Matt- the Bronzies were different but these are what I would call FINAL.

Oh props for using the word ...... Psyche

Never been said better. I have one "different" set coming and one "aggressive" one coming. This to me is the all-around beast wheels. I won't lie, I basically looked to your black CLS and was like "I need to do these". I was inspired by Sun aka Benzoboi to put M40s on my E55 and have done the same here with your former setup! Pure inspiration!

Too many to count. One is that I keep logging into this forum and seeing people post pics of HREs and then not thinking rationally and then buying more wheels.
I need to cutoff my Internet service!

Yeah, those are the carbon fiber center caps alright. If you go on the HRE website, there is a black Z06 with this finish and that's where I got the idea.
Although it doesn't say "semi gloss", when I asked HRE what that finish was, that's what they told me.
