Have I Lost My Mind? HRE Refinish Question....

[d1 guy]

So, my 94 brooklands green/onyx has HRE 547 wheels and they are polished. My 91 that I had, I ordered volk gt-c in diamond black. It was berlina black with black volks and a polished lip.

I contacted HRE a couple of days ago and they said that they would refinish my wheels if I so desired. What do you think a Brooklands green car would look like with Brooklands Green HRE 547s and a polished lip? I really liked my black car with the black wheels.

Have I lost my mind? Heres a pic of my car:

Id say it looks good as is, maybe a serious polish job!

Well, they just look too "bling" for my taste. They jump out at you instead of the car. I have also removed the side skirts and front lip spoiler since that picture. I have seen a lot of ferraris with the HRE wheels that have painted spokes and a polished lip.

Whatever floats your boat. Personally I would probably go a matte black and maybe the brooklands green lip, but thats just me...

i hate chrome on our nsx

well, its not exactly chrome....its polished aluminum, but it does look chrome. Yes I agree that I dont like the look of it on the NSX.


Please keep the inputs coming guys. Is there anyone that likes my idea :redface:

Maybe someone could photoshop it... probably the only way you'd really know if you think you'd like it.

If it's too much bling, try a matte clearcoat on the centers - I am really starting to like that look. Or you could do brooklands inserts with machined (diamond cut) face.

I would stray away from "trendy" since it looks, well, outdated later on.

i agree that highly polished/chrome wheels take attention away from the look of the entire package but i am not sure if i would color-match the centers- maybe some other shade of silver/gunmetal or even bronze if you like the contrast?

The green spoke (matching the body color) and polished lip looks great on a Galant VR4. Of course that's a Galant VR4.

I say go with a brushed/clearcoated centers with polished lips!

Leave em the way they are.......:wink:

Do what Ryan suggests with the brushed / clearcoated centers. I've seen his wheels and that finish is by far one of my favorites.

I personally like gold on green but if that's not ur style Ryans wheels look great.
