HRE winter wheel project

i picked up some used 19 inch 545r polished hre wheels with the intention of powder coating the centers black.

what do you guys think? leave them polished? powder coat the centers black? any other ideas?

i got michelin pilot sport tires 285 30 19 & 245 35 19. 285 fit on the back no problem, i mounted one for a test fit.

I'd personally go with Polished centers and lips. But then again what do i know? Either way your shoes won't be noticed as much as what's underneath the bonnet...

Where'd you get the tires? Tirerack? What made you go with Pilot Sport tires vs PS2's? I'm looking to do the same size (285's R) when my wallet permits.

How do the 285s fit? I was about to order some but I chickened out cause I went with nt05s instead of ps2s. nt05s are wider, I really don't see a 285 nt05 fitting with my wheels.

How wide are your rear rims? I've measured 285/19/30 on my HRE's and they fit as well as with the set test fitted/installed. No experience with NT05's.

They are iforged 19x10 but the offset is crazy. It seems like the lip comes all the way out flush with the fender. I should probably update my pic in the sig now cause I powder coated them lime green..... I was bored.
