HREs are Back with a New Look

After a month of waiting, I finally got the 890Rs back today. Wow, HRE sure did a great job refinishing the wheels, they look as good as new and it was well worth the wait. A BIG thank to Vince at HRE for the responsiveness of my questions and requests.

The wheels were brushed (aluminum?) before, and now they are textured black with matching aluminum caps. Since the wheels are 18x9.5 and 18x12, I plan on installing Kumho XS (235/40, 315/30) on them. I'll post some pictures when they are on the car.

Interesting front rim width...you might be able to do 265/35s up front if you have coilovers.

Sure nice getting a factory refurb!

I didn't know the fronts were 9.5 until I measured them today

With those little nubs, how do you air up the tires (on the car) without scratching the finish?
