Refinished/rebuilt wheels =]
 
11 Attachment(s)
finally had my HRE 545 wheels redone thanks to VRWheels in LA, they did a great job and didnt keep me waiting long either!


new changes are:

-went from my previous black centers to brushed aluminum faces with polished windows.

-also had all four lips replaced, went one inch wider all around so the new sizes are 19x9.5 up front and 19x10.5 in the rear

-also finally painted my previously rusty brakes to a semi-gloss black ;D


much thanks to greg (and friends) for helping out tremendously with the whole project! =]

annnnd here are the pictures, enjoy!

I bet he is a millionaire, otherwise how else could he afford $1,000.00 to get his rims refinished and a turbo rebuild.

atilla, no rubbing issues on the rear, im actually going up a size in tires in the rear. the tabs you are talking about are gone i believe.

not sure of the new offset...they were around +45/55 front/rear before, and i added an inch of lip all around...not sure how the offset was affected.

and yes, ill cya at sevenstock =]
