Received my C20's today from HRE!

I purchased these rims and tries (Toyo T1R's like brand new) from Joon (AMG Rider) about a month ago and had them sent directly to HRE for refinishing. Thanks again Joon for a great deal!

Here's the finish product!

Thanks guys. Now I'm thinking of adding a little color to the calipers...opinions? Some recommend going red if I don't smoke the tail lights and if I do smoke go yellow, is this the general consensus?

These wheels are so light it's sick. Can't wait to get them on the car.

No way on that, yellow or red looks great with smoked tails or without. Go with the color you like.

Thanks. They actually came with black centers but that's not the look I was going for. Recently I've seen way too many cars murdered out and after doing a ton of research I couldn't help but love the satin finish. Vegastrashed car has always caught my eye and me personally, I think it's a really classy look. JMO.

Your wheels look great. Would you mind PM'ing me the price you paid per wheel to have them refinished? I have a set of HRE's that need refinishing and would like to know the price.

The new setup is 275-30-19 and 245-35-19

I'm currently running stock chromies with Toyo T1R's. I'll soon be selling my stock rims and tires.
