20'' HRE 540R's C/f Wrapped centers.... ideas Help me out?

Guys its time to replace my rear tires... and I started thinking that I would be up for a trade on my HREs or straight out sale..... Or should I keep them and replace the tires, and maybe change them up a bit?


Specs:
20'' HRE 540Rs C/F wrapped Centers, Paint matched lips Nitto Tires in the front 245-35-20 Rears: SMOKED

I'am open to REASONABLE offers and Trades the C/F transfer alone cost $1,000. And new the wheels alone were $1750 a piece From HRE.

those wheels look very good on your car. and they are top quality wheels. I would just replace the tires. If you're looking to switch it up, just change the centers or just paint them again.

You could always sell the wheels and give your car a new look with a different set.

BTW what would you sell them for?

I'm about to buy a set of wheels and tires for mine, I'm undecided between the " right now" of Vossens or the "$$" and "zzzz" of new HREs. PM me if you decide what you want for yours.

If you do change the tires id highly recommend going with Michelin PSS.
What kind if wheels are you thinking about if you sell your HRE's?

Thanks Jake! I just bought new Rear Rubbers yesterday, So the question is just keep them the way they are, or refinish them in a different style? Also planning on painting the calipers metallic gold like the GTR calipers.
