Pics of my new HRE 794r's

So I got 19" HRE 794r's installed yesterday. Glossy charcoal finish with chrome lip, 8.5 inch with 2" lip in the front, 9.5 with 3" lip in the rear. I went with Pirelli P-Zero Neros per the recommendation of Tony at RTW Motorsports in North Hollywood (who was phenomenal by the way, highly recommended). I wasn't sure if I would want to drop the car or not, but now the gap is bothering me so that's next to come.

Let me know what you think, honest opinions welcomed.

Honestly, for the money you probably spent on them they aren’t THAT hot.

They look OK but I just don’t get that WOW feeling from them... sorry.

I would leave the HRE logo for the center caps, looks better IMO

I also don’t think having a lip looks great on this car for some reason, I don’t really know why... maybe because it is a 4 door, but they just don’t look right...

Maybe some high resolution pic's might make it look better.

need bigger pics

hard to tell with the current pics.

But I honestly have to say this rim is one of the few that I don't like from HRE.

Bigger pictures....hopefully these will look better. I don't know how to post pictures in the text rather than as a separate attachment.

im guessing you spent over $5k for these, so you must like them, a LOT -

and thats all that really matters..I really like the deep dish lip on nice cars, and since we cant go that deep as it is, I think the thickness of your spokes really take away from that look - I like them, just dont love them

its tough on C63's though since the car is so new and there arent so many pics out there...most of the guys here are guinea pigs testing out wheels

I like them, they are very unique, takes lots of courage to try something very different, what size of tires did you go with, congrats.
