i look forward to seeing these pics! I was hoping to pick up a set of HRE C20's on the near future... but they are going to really make me poor. Just curious, how much exactly did you pay for this entire setup?

but faster than an M3...

but back to the topic at hand, 6500 isnt that bad for HRE's. and they will look incredible. I had a hard battle deciding between the 540's and the C20's, but in the end i settled for the cheaper ones. now i just need to decide which finish i want and order the damn things...

what finish did you get?

Nice, can't wait to see them. Why didn't you go for the 590Rs?

I think the 540r's are HRE's best designed wheels. I don't think I'll ever sell my set as you don't see them much on car's as appose to LM's. Thought the LM's are a timeless design too.

To the OP..if you don't mind me asking, how much did you purchase them for? Directly through HRE or sponsors?
