Default HREs in the Rain

It's pouring here, but I wanted to get some early shots of my new 445Rs, 19X8.5 and 19X10. Toyo Proxes T1-S, 245/35 and 275/35.

Hey, those look familiar! Nice choice - what center caps did you get? Could you post a close up of one of 'em?

Thanks!

Photos of yours in Sport Z helped me "turn the corner" (pun intended) on my decision to buy these wheels. Mine are the red/white/blue caps (I have the black and silver too); I'll post good photos when it quits raining and I can clean my wheels!

Sweet. I'm trying to figure out if I want to try different caps - may have to talk to HRE tomorrow and see what all the options are...

Thanks!

Here is a look at the etched center cap. It is made out of Billet Aluminum, not plastic.

OK....you got me! I saw what the etched ones cost and decided the red/white/blue, plus the extra green in my wallet, looked better on my Daytona Blue.

Those look great on Blue! Welcome to the Hre club. You'll be turning heads like you can't believe. Are you using the TPS?

Yes.....they used the HRE banding kit and so far, [knock on wood] the numbers look about right.

MSOsr: Very, very nicely done! The 445R is among my favorite wheels on the 350Z. The Daytona Blue is DEFINITELY my favorite 'Z color. Your centers are Silver painted, correct?

The Daytona Blue is similar to the Spectra Blue on my Lexus GS400- I run the red/white/blue caps on my 20" 841Rs, and they look fantastic. Also, the red/white/blue caps show off a little bit of good 'ol American pride (HREs are made in the USA, after all).

Please be sure to post a few pics once things dry-out!

Regards,
Bob

That's what I wanted to see. I couldn't tell what they were like from the web site pics and was curious those....

Thanks!
