no.. they aren't really made for SUVs, and plus i don't think i could ever afford it. but if i COULD, they would definitely go on my Porsche/BMW/Ferrari/etc.

Look like BBSes to me.

They are beautiful, but they're also heavy. I'd take a slightly less sexy set of BBS RGRs over these any day, especially considering the BBSs cost about a third as much.

do they make these in black finish ???? cuz i saw something very very similar on a evo yesterday.......and the evo looked really really awesome with all black finish and lowered ride.

HRE will do almost any finish under the sun...for that kinda money, they're certainly open to custom stuff, and they have a variety of standard finishes available (silver painted, polished, and anthracite painted, I believe.)

Honestly they would never go near my car unless they were for show only and never used on the street. Why would you ever buy from a company that has no racing experience and makes soft/heavy wheels that are really expensive? I have heard of these wheels actually rusting out from the inside, along with bending with mere mention of a pothole.
Go with Fikse or BBS or someone that makes good looking wheels that are actually worth putting on your vehicle if you are going to spend that kind of coin.

i would have to argue with you on HRE's quality. just because you "heard" of 1 or 2 failing, doesn't mean it sucks. even BBS and Fikse have wheels that fail. HRE quality is second to none. they are just smaller and more customized then the big boys like BBS.. but their quality is still top notch.
i wouldn't call HRE's as soft nor heavy by any means. in fact, they are used by Lingenfelter and Mallet in their Corvette racing programs.

I dislike them. They're big and heavy. Plus, I dislike entire wheels chrome or polished. BBS are better!

argh! where the hell did you guys hear HRE's were HEAVY? compared to what? ok, they aren't 14" lightweight racing wheels.. but they certainly aren't HEAVY.
dennis

Yeah, that's true.
On the Viper some of the 19" HRE's are even lighter than the original 18" rims. So getting awesome looking rims for the street, HRE's or Fikse's, or Purner's are first choice.
Still, going racing, nothing's better than BBS.
