[syborg tt]

I can't believe my eye's.

These pictures hit my in-box today and I just needed to share them with everyone.

The Carbon Fiber looks perfect on these wheels

[roddr1968]

WOW! those wheels look awsome!:thumbsup:

[96z28ss]

Looks like they might just be dipped in the film.
The carbon doesn't go into the lug nut holes.

[tones2SS]

With carbon fiber or without carbon fiber, those wheels look KILLER!:thumbsup:

[WicKeD_SS]

DAMN!!!!! :omg: :brix: :drool:

[68/Camaro]

Marty Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag!
Special thanks to Frank @ Prodigy hooking me up with these VR3P Wheels from Forgeline and Tom Argue did his magic to tie in "Evade"s Them! Soon to be mounted!

[89 RS]

Those things are sweet! Bet they are not too cheap though, I'd still take a set though.:unibrow:

[Flash68]

Been waiting for this to hit the muscle car market... seen the CF wheels on many an exotic in the last year...

Will tie right into a car with all that Anvil stuff!

[Ron Fox]

Different, but nice.

What type of wheel cleaner would be used on these?

[N2TRUX]

It's amazing what can be done with hydrographic printing.

[BritishGreen68]

[frankv11]

[tom091074]

The HRE wheels

Here are some weight examples:
Forged Aluminum Wheel Weight:
19” x 9” = 23 lbs.
19” x 12” = 26 lbs.

HRE Carbon Series
19” x 9” = 17 lbs.
19” x 12” = 20 lbs.

And here is where I found it, http://www.motorator.com/blog/general-automotive/hre-carbon-series-wheels

Okay Guys please don't take offence to my next comments. You boys really need to think outside of the "BOX"

First off I dare you to buy really carbon fiber wheels and actually drive them on the street. If you goal is to have the look and actually use the car, not a trailer queen or track car then this is the best alternative.

So please don't be offended just need to see that there is actual value to doing this.

Also don't forget you can do this at what a 1/4 the cost of actually carbon wheels. So unless your have tons of money this is once again a great choice.

:thumbsup:

[frankv11]

sorry guys my intentions were not to offend anyone but just a personal opinion on the wrap of the wheels. the reason why I say that is because I have seen other wheels with it and it just looks wrong at 5' or closer.

but if you like them hey put them on who cares what other people think

and yes I would say there is a big price difference. not an expert by any means but those carbon fiber wheels I would bet they can perform as well if not better than.
im sure incase you hit a sidewalk at 75mph they are going to suffer total damage but on regular road I would drive those all day long ( if I could afford them)

Im personally looking for some carbon fiber spinners LOL

[2Bad4Ya]

Seriously how is this any different than the kind of thing people like giving crap to a ricer for? Looks like advance auto upgrades when you realize its not real! If you see a Type R emblem on a dodge neon you snicker don't ya?

Sorry I just do NOT see the value add in this like you wanted me to... it does not reduce weight, make the car go faster, stop quicker, turn sharper, etc... it is just cosmetic kind of like a Type R badge.

[tom091074]

I didn't mean offend anyone. I just wanted to show everyone that HRE had carbon fiber wheels as well and that look sweet not they're not expensive, just that they're cool. No offence to the forgelines because they are hot too.

[syborg tt]

Truely no offence taken.

I agree there are ricer cars that are all about looking good sitting still. In this case if the desired goal is to have a functional street car and you really want a modification but it just isn't practical for the street. Then you have to find a way to make it work.

Trust me the car that these wheels are going on is no poser.

ps I love you guys !!!!

and neither does the paint on your car. However it's the first thing you see.

Just imagine if we all had black cars how boring would it be.

[2Bad4Ya]

Is all good bro, I dont take offense to thing on the net... just dont mess with my lunch though! :)

I get what your saying and all just saying there are things I would spend big $$ on for my car but carbon fiber filmed wheels are not 1 of them. On a car with alot of cf it may look good, but i am from the less is more school of thought.

P.S if all cars where black the world would be sooooo cool!

[will69camaro]

I happen to really like forgeline wheels however, why make something so nice look cheesy with fake carbon fiber? IMO it looks just like a "cheap" wheel now.

Dont get me wrong, I love carbon fiber but this crazy I think is going a little far :)

[DOOM]

Marty....... It would be a perfect world..:D

[96z28ss]

There would be alot of dirty looking car out there.
There would also be a water shortage from everyone trying to keep their black cars clean.

[syclonetommy]

Bill those are going to look great on Evade!
Tom is the master, that's for sure!! :thumbsup:

funny we totally agree on the lunch but don't forget dinner. Dinner is the most important meal of the day.

[elitecustombody]

It would be a perfect world..:D

[syborg tt]

hey Red sucks about as much as black.

Okay so can we all agree silver is the way to go

[Neil B]

For those of you who have not seen (in person) the car these wheels are going on, it is one of the most detailed and nicely put together PT cars out there. I'm sure Bill and Tom will nail the final result.

I do not think any of us with dislike of the wheels had anything to say about the car. :thumbsup: I think the wheels are nice but I am not interested in the cf pattern, its like someone prefering polished over chrome or machined finish in the end.
