Hey guys...Well, it's time again to sell the rims this time around and having a tough decision on which rim to go for...
I've narrowed down to either brushed aluminum or charcoal HRE's...No, not 547Rs again, but a "higher" model series..hehe

I wasn't sure if the HRE charcoal color would be too "light" sitting on a steel grey body car, but I've found a couple pics of charcoal HRE's below on steel grey cars and doesn't look too shabby? :)

Whadda ya'll think? Thanks!!

That charcoal looks sweet! Takes away some of the "bling" that I hate about HREs.

Personally I like the second ones better. The top ones look too OEM for my taste. But that is my opinion. :D

Well, they are both the same color, charcoal :stickoutt I just wanted to show pics of two steel grey cars with charcoal rims and see what everyone thought :)

I'm not looking for rim type, which I already know what I want, its the rim finish..hehe

Charcoal is too close to your current finish IMO. I loved the PG's on your car so I think the brushed finish will look great.

D@mm I wish I had the cash to spend on mods like you pimp!
How was SEMAG?

I agree. Do you have any pics of brushed wheels on that car for comparison?
