I just got a set of new (used) shoes for my rides. 19" HRE 540's wrapped with Nitto Extreme 555's (245's and 275's). The tires are 100% NEW and the wheels are used. One front wheel has some minor curb rash with some clear peel and the other front has super minor curb rash (can't see without knowing where it is). They are fully polished with black accents.

The wheels are sweet ass but I just don't know. I still like my 19" OZ's Raffaello III's. I amd not sure which to keep. I want to keep both but can't afford it as I am one of the many American's that has been on laid off. So you all need to help me. Which wheels to keep? The OZ's are pretty much is awesome shape with no curbing and very minor everyday wear signs.

Like a nut, I installed the HRE's on the left side of the car and kept the OZ's on the right. Looks kinda of cool. Tell me what you all think?

I prefer the HREs. Great looking car btw. GL with your decision. Either way, you'll have nice wheels.

Sorry to hear about the layoff, good luck with that. If I were you I'd keep the HRE's and donate the OZ to my cause

I have a wife and a new baby too, so definitely I would keep the HRE's and lose the OZ, you could use the $$$ (babies aint cheap, I know this man)y

Besides, makes it easier to keep the peace with wifey when you don't piss her off by keeping and/or spending too much - word to the wise, try not to piss of the provider of your nookie, lest you end up with only your hand for comany

Tell me about it. I am lucky as the wife is still nursing my daughter so I don't have to pay the Big $$$ for formula.
