Here are the HREs that I like but they cost 10x as much as the black motorsports and I would rather have a supercharger then wheels 🙂 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/gbvette/Carlisle%2005/carl066.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/9/19b95a49797cf8cc8456ba97237d1d3e34a73012.jpeg) The other factor is I think that one of my rear wheels is warped, so it would be cheaper for me to get these then to buy 1 oem replacement. ---

Heres another pic… I’m really thinking about ordering them at lunch! ![http://picsorban.com/upload/stealthz06_26.jpg](http://picsorban.com/upload/stealthz06_26.jpg) you can get them in 17s,18s,19s and 20s. I plan on getting 17 fronts and 18 rears. Are the rivits metal or plastic? Does it look like it would be hard to paint them black to blend in? ---

I’d go 18F 19R, they look ok, but i’d like something different than the z06 design when you dont have a z0 :tounge: [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/thinking-about-new-wheels/188619.md?page=2)
