Love the wide lip, otherwise it's too busy. It's a sporty car and needs an aggressive and light wheel. Good luck!

I like them.... Yes they do look like M3 rims, but i think a silver center with polished lip would look HOT!

Even if they saved 20lbs i would not roll on those....

Anyone is free to disagree with me. I'm just stating my opinion.

Here are a couple different photoshoped images with the HRE 441r's... it didn't really come out that "real" but, I guess it give you an idea of what it would look like with them. I ordered these, but it's hard to conceptualize what it really going to look like with them. What do you guys think? Are they the right wheels for the C55? I ordered them with a brushed aluminum face and a polished lip.
