HRE 542R Color
Hi HollaBack. My wheels are black, with a shiny clearcoat, not Obsidian black (which is metallic). I can send you some high res pics if you'd like. They look amazing!

Hey Brav,
The wheels and tires are JUST CRAZY!! I would suggest the same setup as I have, as the ride is wonderful and the handling superb. There is no rubbing or scraping, and the car is as close to stock (in terms of the ride) as I could have hoped for. As far as 20x11, I would not suggest going that wide, simply b/c the maximum size tire you can run in the back is a 285 (25 profile), and that will work fine on a 10" wheel. I think 11" width may begin top present problems.
Hope this helps you make a decision.

I have been running the Pirelli 285/25/20 for about 5 months now.. Not one problem and they have never rubbed. Even with a truck full of golf clubs and rear passangers!!

My falken 275s are pretty stressed out - the sidewalls angle in a lot. Half of it is the 10" rim, other half is tire profile already being rounded.. I dont like it. Seems most other 275s dont have this problem that bad with 10s?

Hi CLKonDUBS. Powdercoating would look especially sweet if the powdercoat comes in a glossy finish. The shine takes it over the top.
I'd love to see soem pics if you decide to do it.
