HRE = Baller. Definitely polish the hell out of those wheels man. Going to look sick after some hard work

Just remember NOT to powdercoat these wheels at just any p/c shop. Forged wheels can only go into a powdercoat oven at low temps. I think anything higher than 400*F will start to alter the molecular composition of the aluminum and actually make the wheel more brittle and prone to failure (sadly a friend with a 996 Porsche Turbo found out the hard way).

Another note- if you decide to paint them, make sure you find an authorized dealer to do so. Anything other than something HRE agrees to will void the wheel warranty.

chrome on white will be boring and the mesh design will not stand out. if it was me, id paint the centers gold or bronze.
