Those wheels are gorgeous. Nice to see the stepped rim, so many HRE customers give into the 'fashion statement' straight lips that hold water. The brushed rims have a clearcoat so no metal polishing is necessary on the centers, you can always polish and wax the clearcoat though because it is just clear paint. The polished rim part is usually still bare metal, unless you custom ordered clearcoat on them, and will need polishing to stay that shiny.

I think they look pretty good, but could use a fatter lip. And a drop.

Hey Cat...um...its on page one...on the description it should say what the weight for the front and rear is for the rims and with both the rims and tires. Hope to see your car sometime here in LA...

The beefy tires make the wheels look just a tad bit small but overall your car looks awesome! I love it

Can you feel any difference in power delivery or oversteer/understeer?

the tires seem to grip better and through corners it holds better than the stock rims and for some reason the car feels more stable and faster...but I will have to go tracking to see the real benefits...heh...
