New wheels??

Alright so here is the set of wheels I'm gonna get if my A/C problem is not gonna cost me 4k to fix.



I saw this car at the dealer today and it didn't look to bad (besides the calipers obviously).

I'd like some opinions from your guys, would you go with these:

http://www.hrewheels.com/792rs/ or http://www.hrewheels.com/p43l/

What finish should I go with? I want it to look OEM so I'm gonna replace the HRE logo by the MB one.

My car is not blacked out or anything like that, should I get them in matte black or silver finish?

I'm gonna also have the calipers painted too... I'll need to make a decision about this one too.

Last question: The insurance of the valet company is supposed to replace my bumper, my headlight etc by the next week. Is there any way that I can ask them to write a check on my name instead of paying the bodyshop at the dealer directly?

Thanks

They are 19's idk if they have them in 20's. P43's might look good. Ask HRE for pics if they did any CL fitment before.

if there's a lien holder, some banks actually wants to make sure that the repair is done hence, the check will be named for the shop, and the shop reports to the insurance and the insurance reports to the lien holder.. but then again, this is when your insurance company is involved with the repair.

if the insurance of the valet company is covering this, maybe you can ask them not to report this to your lien holder.. you can have them name the check to you and do whatever you want with the money

P43L or P44SC. If you want a "stock" look then get a brushed clear finish. If you want something a little bolder, go with charcoal or a textured black.

What's up with your A/C that it's costing 4k to fix. Sounds like they are putting in a new A/C or something.

Please keep in mind, a Monoblok wheel will probably be the best weight option.

Many of the 3pc "concave" designs will be very heavy. Just keep that in mind. There is a lot of weight added to create the style that many companies selling.
