New HREs--Whatcha think?

Hey guys,

Today I got my new wheels mounted!! I love them

I know there're not everyone's cup of tea but I especially like them with the BT
color and the natural brown interior. Please forgive the pics as it was raining and had to take them while dodging raindrops!

Let me know what you think!

Thanks.

Tom

19s? i feel they would look much better with a slight drop, but understand the surrounding roads may not allow it. with that said, I think the wheels work with that blue, although I would have went more gold than bronze. big props for trying something different and vintage

Thanks my friend! They're 19s and slightly wider than the OEM sizes.

I just didn't want the typical silver or black and these really did it for me. I've always had a preference for different....basically if it's common it's not for me!

Thanks.

Tom

They look a bit too retro for my taste. In fact, they kind of look like the BBS wheels that I had on my 1990 Mazda RX-7 Convertible.

Not a fan, didn't like them back in the days, not going to like them now. Most important thing is that it makes you happy.

The bronze/blue color combo is kind of distracting. I think these particular wheels would look much better had they been 18's and mounted on the first generation M3. However, if you like them then our opinions are meaningless. props to you for being adventurous.

Tom

+1. The most important thing is that you love them. Just not a fan of that style.
