I have a black 545 w/ sport pkg ordered. Narrowed it down to these wheels...

HELP

What about doing the HRE or the Maido in black (chrome lip)?

I vote the Miados, those look awesome. That was my 2nd choice behind the Radenergies. Not a fan of HRE's step-lip. With the step-lip, you really have an 18" center with a 2" step, which is ghey... Makes you wonder if HRE does this to save production cost... or do their 18" wheels have a step lip also?

the maidos are beautiful I have them on my car black center with chrome lips but they are pieces of crap. they're already being sent in for rechroming of the lips and they are very soft as far as bending goes. This has always been my experience with dazz motorsports products though. They look great but the durability is miserable. My best experience with 3 piece wheels has been OZ but that was on my truck. I can't really say that they have anything available for the 5 that blows me away. I've heard people have had a lot of complaints about the radenergies also as far as customer service goes. I always hear good things about HRE but you pay through the nose for a superior product but also run the risk of seeing them everywhere.

I would get the Maido's sans chrome.

Any photoshop experts out there?

How do you think the Maido's would look in black with chrome lip?
