Those look great!

Can you post more pics? I also have a Silver SC, and I'm eventually going to upgrade my 18" O.Z. Opera's to 19" HRE's. From what I can see, these would be a definite possibility!

Very nice rims. For some odd reason they look like 18's.

Looks great. The thin spoke design reminds me of the wheels on the new SL55 AMG.

That was my first thought too.. But these are not the 549R with the flat lip so the stepped lip of these 19's give the appearance of 18's to the casual observer..

Nevertheless HRE are one of the BEST wheel makers in the business.. The 549 has always been 1 of my personal favs..

Nice job ginsusc430 can you share what the offsets are on the front and rear.. THANKS!

Those rims look great on that car. but (off topic, sorry) I don't care for the emblemless grille. just doesn't look right.

I agree, awsome rims !! But I find debadging the grille to be detrimental most of the time in many cars.

I don't know if its just me but with the rims and debaged grill, it is really reminiscent of a G35 coupe. Looks awesome, love the stealth look!

Very, very nice! Those wheels look great with the silver paint.

I'm considering HRE and Auto Couture wheels to replace my chrome pie plates. Maybe the HRE 544's, if I go with A.C. it will be the Magnifiques. I like that HRE wheels will accomodate the pressure sensors. I like full face wheels, I don't really want to see all the brake and suspension guts. Any other good choices out there besides these two?

After looking at a lot of pictures in the gallery I'm starting to think I need 20" wheels on the SC430. The 19" look better than the 18" but still don't fill the wheel well as much as I'd like. Lowering the car about 1.5" will be necessary too... looks like I'll be about $10k poorer before I'm done
